Move Abroad

Have you ever felt guilty about wanting to move abroad — like you’re letting down your family, friends, or even your culture? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share my own experience with guilt after moving overseas, including the comments people made (“I love my family too much to live abroad,” “Why did you move abroad? Is the US not good enough for you?”) and how those words weighed on me day-to-day.

We’ll explore why guilt shows up when you choose to live abroad, from family expectations to cultural pressures, and how to reframe it as a sign of love — not a reason to hold yourself back. I’ll also share practical ways to handle guilt, like staying connected intentionally, including your loved ones in your journey, and giving yourself permission to enjoy the life you’re building abroad.

By the end, you’ll see that guilt doesn’t have to stop you — moving abroad is not selfish, it’s an act of growth.

Many Americans think moving abroad is just about traveling more—but the day-to-day differences can be even more impactful. In this episode, we explore specific things you can do in Europe that are harder—or impossible—to access in the U.S.

We’ll cover four major areas of opportunity:

• Lifestyle: like weekend trips to other countries, generous vacation time, and a slower pace of life
• Culture and Education: everyday access to history, art, languages, and even affordable degrees
• Career and Finances: better healthcare, strong public transport, and visas for freelancers or remote workers
• Personal Growth: the freedom to reinvent yourself and gain a broader global perspective

Living abroad isn’t always better—but it’s often different in meaningful ways. Which of these differences would matter most in your life?

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!
