I Now Pronounce You
The Podcast…
Ever wondered what it would be like to move to a new country? Trying to figure out where your next adventure should be? Love a good #TravelWin and #TravelFail? American expat, Summer Land, is bringing you stories and conversations from expatriates and avid travelers who’ve opted to live life abroad.
Inspired by her own gratitude for getting to call Australia home, Summer is on the lookout for other expats who can share their wit and wisdom. From a Japanese globe trotting gal living in Italy to a true blue Aussie boy from Cronulla running the Dreamboat Hostel in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, you’ll hear stories that will inspire you to chase your dreams, wherever they may lead you.
“Summer Land is Gen Y’s answer to Bill Bryson.”
She’s an inveterate outlier who drags you in from the cold and wraps you in a great warm blanket of Summer lovin’. With an eye for the absurd, an ear for language and a nose for poop (actual poop, not bullpoop), Summer welcomes you into her hilarious world of cross cultural misadventure. With her cherry-chapsticked all-American cheerleader charm, she will steal your heart and open your mind to life’s strange but true potential. After all, she is the only Jew in Mudgee.

Summerlandish:
Do As I Say, Not As I Did
A hilarious and not-so-serious memoir about how funny girl, Summer Land, raised her ovaries in middle class America before falling in love and moving to Australia with her coal-mining husband. Summerlandish is all the hard-won, scar-leaving, tattoo-regretting, butthole-tearing lessons Summer has learned over the years – “summer-ised” here in all their glamorously gory detail, so you don’t have to bother with learning them yourselves. And, surprisingly, she seems to know quite a bit about love, life and awkward moments involving too much caffeine and/or lack of restraint.
Meet Summer
Hi, I’m Summer Land – writer, author, podcaster, “mum” & one time nude model for a very uncomfortable figure drawing class. I live with my family in Mudgee, NSW in Australia and if I’m not writing, I’m usually drinking gluten free beer and watching true crime documentaries on Netflix. I can also be found crossing the Pacific with my husband and kids to visit our family and friends in my hometown of Gainesville, Florida and recording episodes of my expat podcast, Thank You For Having Me.
