#1 Welcome to Wayfinders with Sacha Cody

Welcome to the Wayfinders podcast.

This podcast is about ordinary people, people like you and me, who get up and go to live in another country. It explores their inspirations, motivations, and behaviours. It asks why. Why did they decide to move? Why did they pick their destination? And it asks how. How did they prepare? How did they live when they arrived? And it finally asks what? What have been their defining moments? What have they learned? What are they most proud of? What would they do differently next time?

Who am I and why am I doing this podcast? My name is Sacha Cody. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I've lived in Jamaica, China, the UK, the USA, and Germany. I've been outside of Australia for probably half my life. I'm also an anthropologist by training. And so I have a fascination for Individual stories, for what they say by themselves as well as what they illuminate about bigger themes in society today.

It's my vision that this podcast can both be a platform for my guests to share their amazing stories. And also for listeners to not only enjoy them, but to be inspired by them and perhaps to go and live somewhere new themselves. 

Indeed, the title Wayfinders is apt, because a Wayfinder - to me - is someone who navigates the world with curiosity, observation and intuition to find where they belong, wherever that may be. 

So come, please join me and let’s stir the spirit of the new country immersions of a unique group of people I call Wayfinders.

Let’s go.

Thanks for listening! All feedback most welcome.
