Why are we moving to Italy? Because this was us the last time we had to leave her. 😭 I know how romantic that sounds, and maybe it is. But shouldn’t life be romanticized? Shouldn’t we pay close attention to the places, people, and experiences that make you feel more awake to your own life? Italy has never been just a beautiful country or a wonderful vacation. It has always felt like an invitation to live differently. Every time we’re there, we find ourselves in a state of complete and utter awe
not because every moment is extraordinary, but because even the ordinary seems to ask for our attention. Even the way laundry hangs between buildings or the perfectly imperfect cracks in the marble
it all has a certain beauty. We find ourselves noticing everything. I’m curious to see what happens when awe is no longer something we experience for a week or two on vacation, but something we’re surrounded by every day. Maybe it becomes ordinary. Or maybe it changes the way we see the world. For me, there is another layer to it that is difficult to explain unless you’ve ever felt drawn toward the story of your own family. My Italian ancestry has always been something I knew, but I want to dig deeper. The older I get, the more I realize that heritage isn’t just a collection of names on a family tree. It’s language, customs, recipes, gestures, values, and ways of seeing the world that somehow find their way into you, even generations later. I want to learn the language not only because I want to speak Italian, but because I want to hear the echoes of the people who came before me in the words they once spoke so effortlessly. I’ve come to believe that there are seasons in life when you’re asked to look forward, and others when you’re invited to look backward for a while, because understanding where you come from has a way of illuminating where you’re meant to go next. We don’t think life will suddenly become easier or that another country holds the answer to our questions, but every instinct tells us this is the next chapter we are supposed to live. And that’s reason enough for us ♄ #moveabroad #expatfamily

Expat, is often used informally for people living or working abroad, while legally, most governments simply classify them as foreign residents. But notice how “expat” has become increasingly linked to class and race, often describing Westerners who move abroad, while others are labelled “immigrants.” It’s another way we other and vilify immigrants, even when they’re doing the same thing: moving to another country to live and work. So, why are some people expats and others immigrants?

Moving to Europe doesn't require a fortune, but it does require knowing where to look. Save this if you’re thinking about moving abroad. Most Americans assume moving to Europe is strictly reserved for the wealthy, but the financial and visa requirements vary significantly depending on where you apply: Portugal: ~€920/mo via the D7 visa - one of the lowest passive income requirements in Western Europe. France: ~€1,800/mo via the long-stay visa - an underrated, accessible route for remote earners. Netherlands: €4,500 business deposit requirement for US passport holders via the DAFT visa. Czechia: Trade license (Ćœivno) freelance setup that renews indefinitely toward permanent residency. Ireland: Citizenship by descent if you have at least one Irish-born grandparent, giving you Irish and EU citizenship. However, getting approved for a visa is only the first hurdle. Long-term success comes down to handling the details most people overlook - taxes, banking, insurance, documentation, and having a clear timeline. Miss those, and the move can become much more complicated than expected. If you’re serious about moving abroad, we’ve put together a 20-step checklist that covers the things most people usually miss like banking, taxes, health insurance, and more.

Canada 🇹🇩 vs. U.S.A. đŸ‡ș🇾 taxes when you move abroad: the rules can be very different for investors considering Dubai real estate. In this clip from The Dubai ConnectÂź Podcast, U.S. tax professional Amir explains a general distinction: someone who becomes a Canadian non-resident may be taxed by Canada on certain Canadian-source income, while U.S. citizens and resident aliens generally remain subject to U.S. tax on worldwide income, even when living abroad. The details matter. Residency, income type, and other circumstances can change the answer, so get advice from a qualified tax professional. As CEO of GG Benitez International and host of The Dubai ConnectÂź Podcast, I help investors evaluate Dubai property with their goals in mind, and connect them with qualified professionals to consider tax and ownership questions before and after a purchase. My work doesn’t stop when you find the property. I’m also Head/Associate Director of U.S. & Global Markets at Prime Capital Realty in Dubai, and Director of International Markets at Realty Executives Dillon in California. I’m a California Licensed REALTORÂź, Dubai RERA Licensed Broker, and CIPSÂź. This episode focuses mainly on North American investors. Tax treatment depends on your own situation. Comment “NORTH AMERICAN TAX” and I’ll send you the full episode.

Fear is part of almost every big decision. And when I talk to Americans who dream about moving abroad, I hear the same questions over and over: “What if I regret it?” “What if I don’t fit in?” “What if I get there and it doesn’t work out?” Those are fair questions. But there’s another question I think we should be asking ourselves more often: “What if I stay exactly where I am for the next 20 years?” What if you keep waiting for the perfect time? What if “maybe next year” turns into five years, then ten? What if you look back and realize fear made the decision for you? That question hits differently. đŸ“© DM me with the word “ABROAD” or visit the link in my bio to get an invite to my next free Abroad in a Year Masterclass. I’ll walk you through exactly how to pick the right visa, avoid rookie mistakes, and move to Europe in under 12 months without wasting time or money. đŸ‘‹đŸŒ If you’re already daydreaming about your life abroad during Zoom meetings, you might as well follow @shawnalumm. 😉 đŸ‘‰đŸŒ Send this to the friend who’s been saying “I want to move abroad someday” for the last three years. #MoveAbroad #MoveToItaly #AmericansAbroad #LifeInEurope #LiveAbroad

🌍 €0. That’s what my move to Germany cost me. Here’s why. đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș I was excited about the job offer for about five minutes. Then reality hit: “How am I going to afford this?” 💾 I started mentally listing everything relocating abroad usually costs: ✈ Flights 📄 Visa fees đŸȘȘ Residence permit 🧳 Extra baggage 🏠 Temporary housing 💰 + all the hidden costs nobody warns you about Then my employer sent over the relocation package. I read it twice because I didn’t believe it. đŸ€Ż ✅ Visa — €0 ✅ Residence permit — €0 ✅ Flights — €0 ✅ Relocation + extra baggage — €0 ✅ 3 months of accommodation — €0 ✅ Driver’s license support — €0 Total out-of-pocket cost: €0. Moving countries already means leaving your family, your friends, your entire comfort zone. Not having to worry about thousands of euros on top of that made the whole thing so much less overwhelming. 💙 Not every company offers this. But more do than you’d think. If you’re dreaming of working abroad — don’t let relocation costs stop you before you even apply. Ask about visa sponsorship and relocation support in the interview. You might be surprised. This is exactly why I create this content: to show people these opportunities are real. đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș 👇 Comment “DE” and I’ll send you resources to help you get hired in Germany.

Follow @sujeetdahiya Everyone is talking about the salary and Dollars in abroad. Almost no one is talking about the pathway. 🌍 The truth? Only a small percentage of people move directly on a work visa. For most international students, the smartest entry into countries like Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Canada, and the USA is through the right study pathway, not just any pathway. Choosing the right course, country, and career plan matters more than chasing viral salary videos. Stop following the hype. Start building a roadmap. Follow for real Study Abroad, Immigration & Career insights that help you make smarter decisions, not emotional ones. đŸ“© Comment “Country Name” or explore Skoolin to compare countries, universities, career options, and future pathways based on your profile

Comment “Rev” to get your free Revolut account and start moving your money into different stable currencies like the Swiss Franc or Singapore Dollar, for example. When you get paid by your employer or client, that is your money - take it out of the bank, and keep it in a safe at home. All living expenses on your credit card, and deposit money in your bank account one time a month to make your housing payment and pay off your credit card. I’m not a certified financial advisor, I’m just a guy telling you how I’m diversifying and protecting the money I make so I have funds to pay for things after a cyber attack on our banks or the massive devaluation of our U.S. currency through the increasing inflation. #leavingamerica #moveabroad #leavingtheusa #secondpassport #prepper

Living abroad has given me some of the best experiences of my life, but it also forced me to grow up in ways I wasn’t prepared for. There were so many moments I wished my family was just a drive away. So many things I had to figure out without knowing if I was doing them right. But looking back, I think that’s exactly what changed me. It taught me that I can build a home anywhere, start over when I need to, and handle more than I thought I could. It wasn’t always easy, but I’d still choose this life againđŸ€ #livingabroad #selfgrowthjourney #moveabroad #selfdevelopmentjourney #selfreflection
