Losing Your Visa Virginity

Épisode 9

lundi 28 juillet 2025 • Durée 51:35

So you want to move abroad but haven't gone all the way... with a visa application yet? Don't worry, the first time is always a little awkward, but we're here to help you through it!

Welcome to this week's episode of Packing Up & Peacing Out where Taylor and Lili are getting intimate with the topic everyone's curious about but afraid to ask: how to get that very first visa to live abroad.

In this episode, we're breaking down the 5 best "starter visas" for people looking to make their first international move. From the commitment-light fling of a Working Holiday to the long-term relationship of a Partner Visa, we're covering all your options for legally shacking up in a foreign country.

You'll learn about:

Student Visas: The classic "I'm just here to learn" approach that works in almost every country (and might lead to something more serious!)
Working Holiday Visas: The casual summer romance of visas- fun, exciting, but with a definite expiration date (typically for those 18-30)
Partner Visas: When your relationship status literally determines your visa status- Taylor shares her hilarious story of the foreign police randomly showing up to verify her relationship was "real" (awkward!)
Digital Nomad/Freelance Visas: For the independent types who don't want to be tied down to one employer (but still need to prove you can support yourself)
Cultural Exchange Visas: The "live with the locals" experience, perfect for au pairs and those on a budget (but expect some curfews and house rules!)

Whether you're dreaming of Prague's cobblestone streets, London's busy pubs, or a beach in Bali, this episode will help you understand which visa might be your ticket to that first international adventure. Remember, everyone was a visa virgin once, even us!

Is Dating a European Really All That? International Relationships with Celina Tolbert

Épisode 6

lundi 7 juillet 2025 • Durée 44:27

Ever dreamt of falling in love with a frenchie? Welp, what happens when the red wine and cigarettes of it all fades, and you need to do some french bureaucracy… tragique!

This episode of Packing Up & Peacing Out with Lili and Taylor is our first ever guest episode and we’re so excited to be joined by Celina of @celinaacotedeparis. Celina’s story is a whirlwind that started with a stint in Paris, a stint in London, and now living outside of Paris (where the real Parisiens live) with her logterm french partner.

Since Taylor and Lili are both in international relationships, but having very different stories, we wanted to ask Celina about her experience. We get into the first meeting and romantic story, how paperwork can get in the way, what its like having French in laws, and why in the end they are just guys. Whether you're an expat already dating internationally, dreaming of finding love abroad, or just curious about cross-cultural relationships, this episode delivers the honest conversation about dating abroad that guidebooks never mention!

Listen now for the dish on dating Europeans we all wish we'd had before moving abroad!

"So you both have rich dads, right? That's how you paid for your lives abroad?"
