In this episode, Rachel and Paula interview Sue about her life experiences living abroad, mainly focusing on her long-term residency in Singapore. 

Sue shares her journey from Adelaide to Hong Kong, then Sydney, and finally Singapore, highlighting the complexities of expatriate life, including the challenges of repatriation and adapting to new environments. 

She discusses the importance of adopting a positive mindset towards change, being open to new experiences, and finding strategies to cope with the difficulties of living away from one's home country. 

Sue also stresses the significance of community involvement for expatriates, sharing her active participation in the Australian New Zealand Association (ANZA), where she has been contributing significantly by organising casual coffee mornings and running a Mahjong group.

The episode underscores themes of adaptation, resilience, community support, and creating a sense of home abroad.
