Today we’re speaking with the lovely Nic Burmester from the ex.pat podcast happylifemove.

On her podcast, Nic interviews people who have changed countries (like me and Nic!) to find a better and happier life.

Nic is orginally from Germany and now she lives in Brighton on the South coast of England.

There are a few seconds of bad audio at the beginning of our chat. We were having some problems with Skype, but it gets better so please don’t stop listening. Keep going and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the conversation.

    Hi,
    I like to listen to Mansion interviews.
    Would you release new podcasts ( mansion interviews) in the future ?
    Thank you

    1. Craig says:

      Hi Dominique. Yes, I do want to do more interviews. I have a long list of interesting people I want to bring on the podcast. The problem at the moment is time. The podcast with Reza is every week and with the other work I have, it’s not easy to find the time. I hope I can get back to doing interviews in the near future.
