#132 Moving Abroad Alone, With a Partner, or With Kids: Which Is Actually Harder?


Listen Later

Thinking about moving abroad but not sure how your situation stacks up? In this episode, I break down what it’s really like to move abroad solo, as a couple, and as a family — and which is actually the hardest.

Having done all three (China solo, Vietnam/Tanzania/Georgia as a couple, and now Spain with a toddler), I share:

  • Pros & cons of each scenario – freedom vs. support, compromise vs. independence
  • Real-life stories from my moves, from awkward salsa nights to house-hunting disagreements
  • Tips for thriving no matter your situation — from making friends solo to negotiating childcare time with your partner
  • Mindset shifts to stop comparing your journey to others and embrace your unique path

Whether you’re flying solo, planning with a partner, or taking the whole family abroad, you’ll get practical advice and encouragement to make your move work for you.
