Global Living with Doreen Cumberford



Global Living


Doreen Cumberford works with expats, global nomads and international returnees to create happier, easier and more successful transitions while globally mobile. She is joining An Open Conversation with Monica Neubauer to discuss Living Internationally. Although Doreen’s heart is in Scotland where she grew up, she has a love for the 8 other countries that she has lived in from England, South Africa, Dubai, United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia and now Mexico where she resides. Through her experiences as a global housesitter and relocating overseas she has learned how to navigate traveling and moving internationally.


Doreen shares with Monica’s listeners her tips for being a successful Global Housesitter and relocating successfully to different countries.


Tips for Living and Working Internationally:

● Know the sacrifices - There will be sacrifices no matter what choices you make

● Have Cultural Intelligence - Have the imagination, communication skill and tolerance to work across cultures

● Remain Global Hearted with an open mind, heart and voice

● Be willing to adopt people into your life and enjoy the varied cultures

● Be considerate of the mindset of others

● Have conversations of what is possible in your life - you can create the life of your dreams


Both Doreen and Monica leave us with the question, “Are You Willing to be Transformed by Travel!”
