Self proclaimed online experts baffle me. I am not the type to claim I can teach you how to do something until I have successfully done it. So I guess that makes me incompatible with social media marketing in some ways. My imposter syndrome means I am 5 years behind on building an audience. I should have been showing my messy journey even before I knew what I was doing. That just feels so awkward. Full transparency, it feels shitty that people who have haven’t even moved abroad once feel like competition. I wasn’t bold enough to claim the authority of moving abroad expert early enough. That was a big mistake. But, I am owning my expertise now. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

It really sucks suffering from imposter syndrome. You know, I moved my family out of the United States five years ago. And I watch these people on TikTok who are giving advice to people before they've even done the thing. And I think to myself, man, I have had to move to three different continents and go through numerous visa processes for myself and other people in order for me to feel confident enough to give other people advice on how to do the same thing. I didn't just start giving advice because I read it somewhere. And I mean, it just baffles me that people can just go out there and behave like they're such an expert before they've even successfully done something. And I know that that's the way of the future, I guess. I guess it's just always about come on the journey with me. I personally didn't start legitimately charging people and helping them until the last six months because I didn't know that I was confident enough to be able to do this for other people. Even though I had helped other people in my personal life, I really just, I wanted to feel like I knew everything before I sold it as a service. So as you are looking at who can I trust and what kind of expert am I looking for? I'll just tell you, I moved by family of four to the Dominican Republic where we lived for a year. And then I moved my entire family to, I guess, Thailand. We got a visa approved in Thailand. But we only ended up staying for a month because of a family emergency. And then while that family emergency was happening, we got approved for a Japanese visa that I applied for. We lived there for two and a half years. And then I applied for the Portuguese visa, which is where we currently live. In that time, I helped my parents immigrate to Japan where they lived with us for eight months in our house in Tokyo. I helped friends, multiple friends moved to Tokyo using the same sort of process that I did to move to Japan. But I didn't come to all of this knowledge just because I read something. I came to my full understanding about what it means to move abroad because I've done it numerous times for the last five years. And I've not just done it by myself, I've done it with my husband and my children in tow. I helped families, I helped retirees. I helped the exact people I've already helped in my personal life by guiding them through the process that I had already done numerous times. So I do regret in some ways not sharing my journey as it was happening. But at the same time, that was 100% because I didn't know if any of this would work. I didn't know when I left the United States that I was going forever. I bought a one way ticket, but I didn't know that was not my plan to just be gone forever. Now that I realize that it is a forever thing and I've been gone for five years, I realize how important it is to help people make that move. And so I've decided to make sure that my knowledge can be shared with other people. But I didn't do it in the beginning. I did not share as early as a lot of people. And that was an imposter syndrome thing. Even though I did it once, I didn't think it was enough. Even though I did it twice, I didn't think it was enough. Even though I did it three times, not enough. Now I have successfully immigrated to four different places. And I would like to help you figure out if you want to move somewhere. Am I the only one who looks at those people on the internet who have never done anything and wonders how they are the expert. Just because they've decided to do something and at the same time that they've decided to do it, they start teaching other people to do it. I don't know. I just think that is that's so weird. Does that does that label me a geriatric millennial right there? I think that is so weird. But in any case, I have now realized my expertise is valuable and I am ready to help people move abroad from the United States to somewhere else out here in this great world.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats.

The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? 🆘🇺🇸
