Wendy Herbert: The Female Expat: Why we're all a little broken
In this episode of the Hua Hin Today Podcast, we talk with Wendy Herbert, creator of the Female Expat YouTube channel The Female Expat — a new and growing platform sharing stories and experiences for women (and occasionally men) who have made Asia their home.
With over three decades of living and working across Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand, Wendy opens up about her journey — from marriage, motherhood, and career shifts to the ups and downs of starting over in new countries.
She shares her honest take on expat life: the frustrations, the freedom, and the unexpected moments that make it all worthwhile.
Whether you’re already living abroad, considering a move, or simply curious about expat life in Thailand or Asia, this conversation offers insight, humour, and inspiration from someone who’s truly lived it.
