How I Left the USA with $7,000, Courage, and a One-Way Ticket—and How I Can Help You Make the Leap Too
Leaving your home country behind to start a new life abroad is a bold decision, and I know this from personal experience. In 2016, when Donald Trump was elected, I felt a calling to live differently—freer, and with more adventure. With $7,000 in my bank account, I set a plan to leave the States and begin my journey as a digital nomad. Just as I was set to go, Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, delaying my plans and grounding flights. But as soon as travel resumed, I was on the next flight to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, ready to embrace the unknown. My plan was to start a YouTube video and become a travel influencer.

Now, after years of building a life and career abroad, I’m here to help others make the leap. Through my relocation services, I provide personalized support to people ready to explore new horizons. Whether you want to live in Latin America, Southeast Asia, or Europe, I can guide you through the steps to start a successful journey abroad. Here’s a look at how I help people transition to an international lifestyle—and why making this change might be the best decision you’ll ever make.
My Journey and Inspiration
It took courage, planning, and a bit of risk-taking to leave the States, and since that first flight, I’ve lived and worked in several countries, finding my own sense of “home” in every new place. But along the way, I learned how complex relocating can be—especially without guidance. That’s why I created my relocation services: to make it easier for people who want to live and work abroad, but may not know where to start. My goal is to empower you to make a smooth and secure transition into a new country, so you can focus on building the life you want without unnecessary stress.
What My Relocation Services Offer
Whether you’re planning to relocate as a digital nomad, a freelancer, a retiree, or an entrepreneur, I offer services tailored to meet your specific needs. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when working with me:
1. Personalized Visa Guidance
Visa requirements vary greatly from country to country, and navigating them can be confusing. I provide tailored support to help you choose the best visa option based on your lifestyle, career goals, and budget. From digital nomad visas to long-stay tourist options, I help you find and apply for the right visa so that you can stay legally and without hassle.
2. Budget and Financial Planning
Moving abroad doesn’t have to break the bank, but it does take careful financial planning. With my experience as a nomad on a budget, I offer practical advice on how to make your money stretch further. From setting up a budget that works in different countries to finding affordable accommodations and lifestyle tips, I’ll help you plan for financial success.
3. Cultural Integration and Community Building
One of the biggest challenges when moving to a new country is feeling like an outsider. Through my years abroad, I’ve built communities, hosted events, and learned how to connect with locals. I’ll help you find ways to integrate smoothly into your new environment, build friendships, and make meaningful connections so that you truly feel at home. With my guidance, you’ll find your tribe no matter where you land.

Every journey is unique, which is why I offer customized relocation plans that are specific to your timeline, destination, and lifestyle. Whether you need help finding housing, setting up your workspace, or learning about local customs, my relocation plans are designed to prepare you for every aspect of moving abroad.
5. Remote Work & Career Transitioning
If you’re a remote worker or planning to transition into remote work, I can help you set up a successful path for your career. I’ve built my own online business while traveling and have insights into remote work options, freelancing, and finding clients. I’ll help you navigate the challenges of working remotely so that you can earn a steady income while living abroad.
6. Ongoing Support
My relocation services don’t end once you arrive at your new destination. I provide ongoing support, advice, and resources to help you adapt to life in a new country. Whether you have questions about renewing visas, adjusting to cultural differences, or even starting a business abroad, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
