This Expat Life - S0 / E10

#10 What expats can learn from a long-distance hiker with Willem van Uijen

Well - a lot! In today's episode I speak with Willem van Uijen, a business friend of mine. Even though he's not an expat, I figured his 5-month(!) solo hiking trip through Europe would be an experience full of lessons useful for others too. And I wasn't disappointed during our interview!

Listen to this episode to find out:

- Why & how Willem took the decision to leave for 6 months

- How he nearly traded chasing goals at home for chasing goals on the road - but then completely changed his mindset

- How he learned to be with his thoughts 24/7

- What he brought back from the trail

- How stories can define and block us

And much more!
