The Courage to Start Over: From NYC to Portugal with Vivian Najib of FTB Home

In this episode of Passport to Wealth™, Vivian Najib, founder of FTB Home (ftbhomeorganizing.com) and creator of The Expat Diaries newsletter (theexpatdiaries.substack.com), sits down with us to explore what it really takes to build a life you love in a new country.

Vivian’s journey began with a one-way ticket to Thailand and unfolded into a 9-year global adventure through Cambodia, Vietnam, and long-term house-sitting across Europe before finally landing in Portugal. She shares what it was like to navigate culture shock, secure legal residency, and slowly build a version of home that felt true to her.

This candid conversation is full of wisdom, laughter, and hard-earned insight whether you’re still dreaming of expat life or deep in the process of figuring it out.Mentioned in this episode:
