Moving Abroad Guide: The Roadmap (PDF)

So, you're thinking about moving abroad?
A high-level roadmap for moving abroad, from a couple who actually did it. What to think about, in what order, and when to ask for help.

We recently moved from Southern California to Spain, and we had a lot of help along the way to make it happen. It took longer than expected, cost more than budgeted, and was harder than anyone warned us. It was also the best decision we have ever made. This is the guide we wish someone had handed us at the start.

Volume One:
The Roadmap is a 27-page digital guide that lays out the move the way it actually unfolded for us: what we thought about, in what order, and when we asked for help. It is the high-level view from a couple who did it, written for the long months before you go and the first ninety days after you land.

Who it is for:
People seriously weighing a move abroad who want the shape of the whole thing before they start. The timeline. The team you will need to hire, and when to hire each one. The questions worth sitting with before you commit. And the parts nobody tells you about. If you have been romanticizing the idea, this will help you find out whether it actually fits.

What is inside:

• Five truths nobody tells you
• The team you will build, and when to bring each person in
• Mindset, and the honest questions to ask yourself first
• Finding your people in the online expat community
• Downsizing, the scouting trip, and meeting someone who already did it
• Driving, health insurance, and the practical middle stretch
• Arrival, and the first ninety days
• A final thought and motivation

What it is not:
Legal, tax, or immigration advice, and not specific to any one country. We are not lawyers, accountants, or immigration specialists; we hired all three. What we offer is the view from the other side: what mattered, what didn't, what we would do again, and what we would never do twice.
