We were about to buy a house in Boston.Four bedrooms. Long commute. The “right” next step.And still, something felt off.A few days later, a trip to Spain changed everything.In this first episode of the Hippocratic Adventures podcast, we share the real story behind our move to Portugal and how two U.S.-trained physicians walked away from the default path and built careers that allowed us to live abroad.This isn’t the polished version.It’s the honest one.In this episode, we talk about:✔️The moment we realized the life we were building wasn’t the one we wanted✔️Why the traditional academic path stopped making sense✔️The challenge of making two different specialties work abroad✔️How we navigated uncertainty and a lot of fear✔️The “what are we doing?” moment mid flight with 2 kids and no backup plan✔️And how we built careers that actually support the life we wantedIf you’ve ever wondered whether a life abroad is actually possible as a physician, this is where to start.🔗 JOIN USJoin our physician-only private Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/936658356753142/Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hippocratic_adventures/🌍 MORE RESOURCES FOR YOUStart your adventure with our FREE Physician Starter Kit:https://www.hippocraticadventures.com/start-your-adventure/7 Physician Jobs You CAN Do from Abroad (Free):https://mailchi.mp/hippocraticadventures/physician-jobsIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review.
