Koula Budler talks to Steven Phyffer from Oorsee.com about life in Texas and her career

Oorsee - The South African Expat Community App

Koula Budler is no stranger to the limelight of this world. She's held top jobs, rubbed shoulders with some of this planet's most famous celebs... and yet she knows the hardships of moving abroad, dealing with Visa applications, and the grinding of teeth when those childcare bills are due. From 5FM to expat in Texas, join me as I casually chat with Koula about what she has been up to for the past decade, the tears, the joy, and her hopes for the future. Currently situated in Texas, she shares about her life and the life of her husband and her four beautiful children.
I remember Koula as a vibrant, well-known DJ for 5FM, and the idea that I had of her back then is nothing like the human being I had the privilege of talking to in this interview. At the end of the day, it does not matter where we are from or how good we had it. When it comes to moving 'Oorsee', the struggle is as real as it is for the next person.
Koula has a passion for baking and is currently running a successful business in Texas. But the love of the Radio never left her, and when the WhatsApp message came in one morning asking her if she would be interested in taking up a role for 919FM, she grabbed at it with open arms. Currently, she is piloting their new series sharing adventures and journeys of South African expats abroad.
