One random day in November, I decided, in the middle of the night, that I wanted to move to Asia. Specifically: Thailand. Even more specifically: Chiang Mai. Had I ever been there? Nope. But everyone said it was cool, and I had never had a bad time anywhere.

I was dying of boredom - with my work, my neighborhood and even more – I couldn’t understand why everyone around me seemed okay with settling. After working to advance my career for years, I was left feeling underwhelmed: "is this all there is?"

I knew that I should be striving for more that just "doing a really great job at work." I was frustrated because I had other passion projects, and if I wanted to work on them, I had to sacrifice sleep. I was exhausted from trying to balance family commitments, friends, and trying to be the perfect domestic goddess who cooks every meal from scratch and keeps a perfect home. I was burnt-out on happy hours and schmoozing and face-time.

I was ready for the next part of my journey...but I had a million questions to figure out.

How could I leave to go follow my dreams without risking my financial security?

How could I quit and still leave my network in tact?

How could I create a fail-proof system, and then 5 more back-up plans just in case?

And how could I avoid starting from scratch if I wanted to come back?

I dedicated the rest of year, and most of the next year, to answering these questions. I spent thousands of dollars on consulting and experts to advise me and help me create a roadmap, and hundreds of hours absorbing all the information I could. I cold-emailed people, I interviewed people, I listened to every good podcast on the topic, and I read every (valuable) article. I also filtered through a lot of trash and scams and empty filler material.

Only 12 weeks later, I made the leap. I gave away most of my things (R.I.P. books), packed everything into one suitcase, and booked a one-way flight to Bali, Indonesia (not even Thailand - I know. I'm annoying).

Over the next year, I lived in almost 12 different countries, and not only did I not spend a dime of my savings - I have more money than when I left.

But more important than that, I have a totally different perception about what's realistic and what's not.

I've built a sustainable system to work and travel and live FOREVER, if I want to, while still retiring early (I love work way too much to actually retire but it's nice to have options), and living virtually wherever I want, for however long I want, while only working part-time. Like, part-part-time. Like, 10 hours a week.

But what was more astounding were all of the assumptions I had that were completely wrong:

I've discovered that I wasn't "throwing my career away" - quite the opposite. My firm actually offered me:
- 100% remote employment
- a sabbatical
- another bonus
- another raise
- and (once I declined) freedom to come back whenever I wanted, at the salary of my choice.

This only strengthened my need to go solo: I made my firm over half a million dollars in 11 months. Surely, I could make myself a million dollars in a couple of years.

My clients offered up jobs on any given team of theirs whenever I return. And I still get offers from strategy firms on LinkedIn to this day.

But most importantly, I've discovered a completely new way of life:

I've discovered that life outside the US, despite fear-mongering, is actually really pleasant.

I've discovered that loneliness shouldn't be feared- there are expat communities everywhere I go, and even barbers and braiding shops (In fact, my social calendar is too full. I turn down invites constantly).

I've discovered that the best part of semi-retirement is not the absence of work, but the addition of meaningful work. I feel ridiculously blessed that I get to work on projects every single day that excite me, and say no to whatever doesn't.

With 195 countries in the world, I realized that I didn't have to settle for a quick "Round-the-World" trip for a year or two - I could do this forever. I also realized that actually, 10 countries in one year is exhausting, and I get the most out of the experience when I slow down and stay in a place for at least three months and truly make connections with a community.

After fielding dozens, if not hundreds of questions, I designed this course and this service because I want to personally work with you to design a system that works best for you. Because we all deserve to live the life of our dreams. After our time together, you’ll be completely equipped to start your new life abroad – indefinitely.

I’m sharing the details of everything from logistics (where will I send my mail? how can I keep my phone service?), destinations (where are the best places to go?), finding housing in another country, and of course: work and money.
