There are big changes coming to Nick and Chelsea’s overseas adventure, as they are relocating to Belgium with the new school year. In this episode they discuss all the whats, whens, whys and hows…

Yes.
About two weeks in, I started looking at jobs and I was really feeling guilty about it.
I'm just going to be honest.

Like the school itself sounded perfect.
And then I just sat on it for weeks and weeks and weeks.
