Second Act Expat
Hi, hey, hello! I’m Stacy, your host of Second Act Expat inviting you to experience a whole new world through my podcast. And in case you're wondering about the name of the podcast... Second Act (Stacy's definition) /ˈsɛk(ə)nd akt/: a pursuit, pivot or life-shift usually after an extended period of routine (i.e. "the first act"), stemming from an epiphany, self-reflection and/or the ultimate desire to improve one's circumstances or realize one's dreams. After many years of working a thankless desk job in a stuffy corporate atmosphere she decided that her second act would be quitting her job and pursuing her dream of becoming a chef. See also: Adventure-seekers Retirees Empty-nesters Divorcees Corporate job escapees Expats Expat (Oxford definition) /eks pat/: An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person who resides outside their native country. Stacy is experiencing her best life as an expat in South Korea. 😉
