No One Knows What They're Doing - A podcast by Erin McGoff

Categories:

In Episode 09, Erin interviews Helene Sula (aka @heleneinbetween) to talk about why and how she moved to Europe (twice!). Helene, a Texas native, explains how she left the corporate world to become a full-time travel blogger and content creator. She explains how she moved to Germany, then back to the US, and then to the UK—with her husband and two large dogs. We discuss healthcare, maternity leave, monetizing your social media, being childfree by choice, and the pros and cons of living abroad. ➞ In this episode:0:00 Meet Helene 2:12 Helene’s childhood + upbringing in Texas7:52 - Helene quitting her corporate job12:30 - Side hustles + toxic corporate jobs18:58 - Moving to Nashville20:33 - Moving to Germany23:24 - Moving to Europe with a dog27:28 - How to monetize blog/social media29:00 - Being childfree by choice33:35 - Should you move to Europe?36:11 - Erin living in the UK37:42 - Why do Europeans care about US so much?39:41 - NYC EARTHQUAKE!40:36 - Advice for people moving to Europe44:00 - Maternity leave US vs Europe47:39 - Visa + immigration hurdles49:20 - Favorite part about living abroad50:52 - Experience living in Germany56:00 - Happiest countries in the world?58:00 Advice with Helene & Erin~~~~~~~~~↳ Follow Helene on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heleneinbetween↳ Check Out Helene's BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/OClock-Tuesday-Trevi-Fountain-Unconventional-ebook/dp/B0C9ZDP2YK↳ Need some help?
