What happens when you listen to the quiet nudge that says there’s more?

In this episode of The Global Girlfriend Podcast, we’re joined by Jaid ( @jaidinthelife ) — a Canadian content creator who packed up her life in Toronto and moved to southern Italy in her 30s on a working holiday visa… without a job, without Italian, and without a long-term plan.

Now living in Bari, Italy, Jaid opens up about what it really looks like to start over abroad: the fear, the freedom, the unexpected love story, and the slow, beautiful shift into a softer pace of life. From restaurant work to wedding planning, solo travel to building community, this conversation is a refreshingly honest look at what happens when you say yes to possibility.

We talk about:

• Moving abroad in your 30s (and why age shouldn’t stop you)

• Following intuition and trusting the “pull” toward something new

• Solo travel as a catalyst for personal growth

• Finding work abroad without speaking the language

• Dating and relationships overseas (yes, Italian men ...)

• Making friends and building community in a new country

• Letting go of hustle culture and embracing a slower life

• Why you don’t need everything figured out to take the leap

If you’ve been dreaming about living abroad, taking a solo trip, or changing your life but fear, timing, or “logic” keeps getting in the way, this episode will remind you that you’re allowed to begin again.

Pour yourself a glass of prosecco and press play. 🍾✨
