How I Moved Abroad with $2,000 (and Paid Off $9K of Debt in Year One)
Description
People love to assume you need $20k in savings, a remote job, and a color-coded shipping spreadsheet to move abroad.
Cool. Cute. Not my story.
In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I moved to Switzerland in 2013 with $2,000 in the bank, two cats, cancer recovery still happening, and absolutely zero idea what I was doing — including the part where we had to borrow money because we needed three months of rent upfront and had no clue deposit insurance existed (yes, I will be screaming about that forever)
I also talk about moving again — to Austria with a baby, then back to Switzerland during the pandemic — and what those moves cost too. (Spoiler: both under $1,200 out of pocket.)
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t move abroad until I save a huge amount of money,” this episode will challenge that — in a real, non-delusional, no-manifesting-required way.
Yes, moving abroad takes planning.
No, it doesn’t have to take a lifetime of savings.
