There are five things I advise my clients to set up prior to moving abroad in order to make the transition much smoother I'm Veronica, and if you ask me how I know these are the things you should do before you move It's because I didn't do any of them before I move and now I know better I teach my clients how to do things better than I did them so that you don't have all of the snaffos that I did when I moved abroad with my family Number one is to pre-order your paperwork. Some of this paperwork takes longer than others depending on the situation And you want to make sure you have your burst certificate your marriage license your divorce decree any adoption paperwork Potentially your vaccination records or transcripts maybe driving records all of these things have different timelines in which you need to order them And then your criminal background check you can't order that too early because it has an expiration date of three or six months Depending on the country that you're dealing with number two is to set up your health insurance Virtually every visa requires you to get some sort of stopgap insurance that that fills the gap between when you are moving there And when you potentially get on their socialized medicine plan So you're going to need to make sure that you have a plan that is going to work for you in that country and fulfills whatever Requirements the most common requirement is repatriation of your body if you were to pass away in that country before you actually get on Their socialized insurance number three is to figure out how you're going to get money from the United States to the new Country so that's going to be setting up a bank account in the new place or using one of the online banks that Operates in the country that you'll be living and make sure that you're doing it with as low of fees as possible Number four is going to be to port your cell phone number over to a company that is not a V O IP I don't even know what that stands for but it means that it's an internet number and not a real cell phone number And that's going to prevent some banking institutions from being able to send that code for the two factor proof To that number so you want to make sure that it's a real cell phone company that you basically have put your phone number on to It's minimal cost so that you're not paying a bunch of money just to be able to log into your accounts back home And number five is going to be to set up a remote virtual mailbox Do not count on friends and family to be checking your mail constantly when who knows how long you're going to be gone There are mail providers that will actually scan your mail deposit checks shred your mail Forward the mail on to you in your new country depending on what it is and those services are pretty reasonable cost in order to make sure that you're able to get those important Documents that you just cannot get any other way than good old snail mail for more details on what to prepare before moving abroad You can check out my nomadic family starter guide, which is linked in my bio That has everything I wish I knew before I took my family up for and left the country for good There's a lot of things that you just don't realize you should have done to prepare before you ever leave

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. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if you’re ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

There are a lot of people who love the idea of moving abroad. There are fewer people who are actually ready to make it happen. If you have been stuck researching how to move abroad from the US, how to leave America, where to live overseas, or how to move abroad with kids, but you still do not have a plan, this page is for you. A lot of smart people get trapped in analysis paralysis. They keep consuming more content because it feels productive. But more information does not always create movement. Sometimes it just creates more confusion. You do not need fifty more tabs open. You need the right order of steps. You need a strategy that fits your life. You need someone who understands how to move from vague dream to actual plan. I help Americans who are tired of researching moving abroad and ready to start taking action. Follow if you want practical guidance, realistic next steps, and a clear path toward living abroad. 🆘🇺🇸
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? 🆘🇺🇸
