For years, Bargain Homes Abroad has been about more than just real estate. We’ve shared international homes and the possibilities of life abroad, but behind every dream home is a bigger story—one of adventure, reinvention, and the pursuit of something more.
Real estate is the gateway drug. It starts with browsing listings, imagining a new life in a different place. But what happens after you find the perfect home? That’s where the real story begins.
That’s why we’re launching Armchair Expat, a podcast dedicated to the real experiences of Americans who have taken the leap and moved to Europe.
Why a Podcast?
Many of us spend hours scrolling through picturesque European villages and dreamy countryside retreats, imagining what life could be like beyond borders. But what does it actually take to make that move? What’s waiting on the other side? And how do people go from dreaming to doing?
Armchair Expat goes beyond the listings, bringing you honest conversations with those who have traded familiarity for a fresh start in a new country. These are the real stories of expats—why they left, how they made it work, and what they’ve learned along the way.
What to Expect
Launching in April 2025, Season One of Armchair Expat will feature guests from [#] countries, from first-time movers navigating the challenges of immigration and cultural adaptation to seasoned expats who have built lives and businesses abroad. Each episode will explore:
The highs and lows of relocating to Europe
Unexpected challenges and rewarding surprises
The financial and logistical realities of an international move
The emotional journey of leaving the familiar behind
These are stories for anyone who has ever asked, “What if?”
The Next Chapter for Bargain Homes Abroad
This podcast is the next step in expanding what Bargain Homes Abroad is all about. While we’ll always share unique and inspiring properties, we’re also deepening the conversation around what it truly means to embrace life abroad. Beyond homes, this is about lifestyle, design, and the transformative experience of living in a new country.

This is just the beginning. If you’ve ever imagined packing up and starting fresh in a new country, Armchair Expat is for you.
