This week's guest on the podcast was Micael, an expat from Sweden who was born in Tanzania and lived there for a decade before moving to Sweden. But after spending 40 years there, he realized that he wanted to connect with the land he was born in, so he sold everything he owned, packed his bags, and moved to Tanzania.
His experience, being a returning resident and retiring in Tanzania, was very insightful, considering he's in a pretty special position. He gets to see things from the perspective of being native to the country and an expat that's moved there. So there's a lot to discuss!
In most of the world, you're pretty much dispensable when you hit 60. The closer you are to 60, the more "useless" you become. Micael knew that if he were to stay in Sweden, he'd just have a boring retired life where he was just sitting around doing nothing meaningful all day. But when he moved to Tanzania, he realized that it's all about the older population!
The older you are, the more experience you've had in life, and the more respected you are. Micael felt that just his age alone gets him through a lot of the problems; the rest are easily dealt with because he speaks the language or he works through them. The bottom line is that even if you feel like you're too old, you're never too old to live in Tanzania
