What to Expect
Community: Meet other people who want to move abroad and enjoy exploring and getting to know each other. There will also be opportunities to meet locals and other expats.
A learning experience: Stay in neighborhoods and live as locals to get a feel for how you might like living in each of our destinations. Meet local experts like realtors, immigration attorneys, and financial planners who know the ins and outs of moving to the local country. Get used to the currency, customs, and transportation.
Life as a local, not a tourist: We’ll bypass the touristy parts of town and experiences like visiting museums and landmarks. Instead, we’ll see livable neighborhoods, markets, and where the locals hang out. It’s easy to enjoy the monuments on your own: just add on a day or two at the beginning or end of your journey, bypass an excursion, or visit them in the evening.
Fun!: We’re all moving abroad for a better life, so we’ll work on giving you a taste of what that means to you.

You guys did the damn thing! Group dynamics are tricky but you two showed leadership in both tactical and energetic ways. You exemplified that the path will appear when you take the first step ?
