124: How I Actually Moved Abroad (My Story)

In this episode, I’m sharing the full story of how I moved abroad—from Austin, Texas to London.

Back in 2019, I received a job offer in Houston that most people would have been excited to accept. But instead of celebrating, I stepped outside and started crying. In that moment, I realized something important: if I didn’t at least try moving abroad, I would regret it for the rest of my life.

What followed was a series of decisions, conversations, risks, and unexpected opportunities that eventually led me to move to the UK.

Today, I’m still living in London, applying for permanent residency, and working toward British citizenship. Moving abroad has easily been the best decision I’ve ever made.

In this episode, I share:

• How a study abroad trip sparked the idea of living overseas
• The moment I realized I had to give moving abroad a real shot
• The tough decisions that came with leaving Texas
• How networking and unexpected connections helped me land my first job abroad
• What life in London has been like years later

Everyone’s move abroad story looks different. But if you’ve been thinking about living in another country and wondering whether it’s possible for you, this episode is meant to encourage you.

Because if I could do it, you absolutely can too.
