    In this episode, we explore a question many people wrestle with: Should you actually leave the U.S. permanently, or would visiting another country be enough?

    You’ll learn:

    • Why so many people are considering life outside the U.S.
    • The emotional and practical differences between visiting and relocating
    • What makes moving abroad truly worth it—and when it’s not

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

    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.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I need to get out of this country because of the crazy politics,” this episode is for you.

    For many Americans, political burnout, polarization, and frustration are part of the reason they consider moving abroad. In this episode, we explore how U.S. politics continues to affect you after you leave—and how it doesn’t.

  • 77: You can love the US… and still want to leave

    You don’t have to hate the U.S. to move abroad. In this episode, we explore the idea that wanting to live in another country doesn’t mean you’re trying to escape your current life or country — it might just mean you’re curious, ready for change, or seeking a different pace. We talk about letting go of guilt, embracing growth, and owning the simple truth: you’re allowed to want more than the "American Dream".

    In this episode:

    • Why you don’t need a “big reason” to move abroad
    • The myth that moving means you're running away from something
    • How to balance love for your home country with the desire for something new
    • Why it’s okay to leave a good life in pursuit of something different
    • A reminder that “because I want to” is reason enough

    If you’ve been thinking about moving abroad but feeling unsure—this episode is for you. You don’t need to wait for a crisis, or justify your decision to anyone. Wanting something different is reason enough. 

    If this resonated with you, share it with someone else who’s been dreaming about life abroad too.
