7. Lessons Learned: What to Do Differently When Dealing with Inheritance - with Andrew Duffel

We're The Brits In America

Andrew Duffel is the president of Florida Atlantic University's Research Park, based in Boca Raton. Born and raised in the UK, Duffel relocated to the US post-graduation and has been residing there ever since. His expat journey is brimming with unique experiences. One particular aspect of this forms the crux of this podcast episode - discussing an often-neglected financial aspect of expat life, that several British expats are bound to face in the near future.

In a detailed exchange, Andrew shared his experiences about moving to the US in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. He reminisces about how travel, once celebrated for its simplicity, has since become something of an ordeal.

Life in the US introduced Andrew to a cultural melting pot, Florida, where about 60% of the population originates from other states or countries. As a British expat in such a culturally diverse state, he relished this acceptance, rivalling any presumed notions of the region being conservative or unwelcoming.

This account serves as a pertinent reminder that being an expat encompasses a gamut of experiences. From the joys of exploring a new city to the trepidations of dealing with unfamiliar policy changes, these stories embody resilience, growth, and most importantly, the human spirit of adventure.
