  • 89: What if I move abroad… and hate it?
    Jul 14 2025

    One of the most common fears about moving abroad is this: What if I hate it? What if I regret everything and want to come back?

    In this episode, we unpack that fear—where it comes from, how to manage it, and why it doesn’t have to hold you back. You’ll learn how to reframe the “worst case scenario,” prepare yourself practically and emotionally, and about others who moved abroad and navigated the same doubts.

    We’ll talk about how social media can sometimes glamorize life abroad, how to give yourself grace when things feel uncertain, and why the biggest regret often isn’t moving—it’s not trying at all.

    This episode is for anyone feeling stuck between the dream of moving abroad and the fear of making a mistake🔥

  • 88: Would I be financially better off living in the US or Europe? [replay]
    Jul 7 2025

    When I was thinking about moving abroad, a few people warned me that my salary would likely be lower if I moved to London. And honestly? I didn’t care. I wanted to move to London so badly that a lower salary didn’t phase me.

    For the first couple of years, I don’t think money really mattered that much to me—it was more about the experience. But when you're looking at the long term, it's worth asking: Would I actually be better off financially living in Europe instead of the US?

    It’s an important question, and the answer might not be as straightforward as you think. So let’s take a closer look.

    First, we’ll go over some of the key factors that affect your financial situation when living in Europe vs. the US. Then, we’ll compare 5 US cities and 5 European cities—looking at average incomes and cost of living—to see where you might be able to live more comfortably.

    Tune in to hear the full breakdown!

  • 83: Is Europe actually safer than the U.S.?
    Jun 2 2025

    Is Europe really safer than the U.S.—or does it just feel that way?

    In this episode of Move Abroad, we break down one of the most common (and loaded) questions I get: Is Europe actually safer than the U.S.? The answer isn’t a simple yes or no—it depends on how you define “safe.”

    We’ll look at real-world data and personal experiences to explore safety through multiple lenses:

    • Gun violence and violent crime
    • Healthcare access and affordability
    • Transportation and traffic deaths
    • Political and social stability
    • Everyday emotional and cultural safety

    You’ll learn how Europe and the U.S. compare when it comes to both statistics and quality of life—and what those differences might mean for your move abroad.

    If safety is a top concern for you, Don't miss this episode.
