Personal Consultations for Planning a Move Abroad

Honest, experience-based guidance from people who actually made the move.

We offer one-on-one consultations for people who are seriously considering a move abroad and want practical, grounded guidance from people who’ve actually done it.

We’re not agents, attorneys, or visa experts — and we don’t pretend to be. What we do offer is lived experience, clear-eyed perspective, and help navigating the questions that inevitably come up when you’re trying to turn “maybe someday” into an actual plan.

These consultations are a good fit if you:

  • Are seriously considering moving abroad (not just curious)

  • Want honest, experience-based perspective

  • Are comfortable with nuance and trade-offs

  • Prefer realistic guidance over hype

  • Understand that some things require being on the ground

  • We ask you to send 2–4 topics in advance

  • Structured Q&A Session

  • Additional time available if needed

Consultation Session

This format is designed for people who want a broader, exploratory conversation — and value having room to think things through.

Before the call, you’ll share the general topics you’d like to discuss. During the session, the conversation is client-driven and flexible, allowing us to follow threads, clarify tradeoffs, and explore how different factors connect.

This format works best when you’re still shaping decisions, weighing options, or need space to talk through the bigger picture rather than focus on a fixed set of questions.

Structured Q&A Session

This format is designed for people who already know what they want to ask — and want clear, focused answers.

Before the call, you’ll submit a short list of specific questions. During the session, we’ll work through them one at a time, with a fixed amount of time per question.

This structure keeps the conversation focused and ensures you get direct value from every minute.

1 Hour Consultation - $150

A conversational, client-driven session for deeper discussion and decision-making.

During the session, we’ll follow what’s most relevant in the moment — connecting details, clarifying tradeoffs, and working through how different factors fit together.

This format is best suited for focused discussions around a specific country, region, or situation, where context and nuance matter more than speed.

Details:

  • 60 minutes on Zoom
