The Move Abroad Magazine

A beautiful 60-page digital guide to figuring out where, how, and why you want to live abroad.

THE MOVE ABROAD MAGAZINE

10 countries. 5 continents. 10+ years of living abroad, distilled into one beautiful, practical guide.

I've spent more than a decade living in different countries, figuring things out as I went.

I've taught in South America and Southeast Asia. I've lived in places that felt immediately like home and places that taught me exactly why it was only right for a season. I've moved across continents, navigated visas and residency, figured out neighborhoods, finances, housing, work, everyday life, and all the little things you don't think about until you're actually there. My timeframe internationally was between 2007 - all the way to the present (Portugal is home now and I brought my dog, Sunny, over here too).

And over the years, people have asked me how to do it too.

So I made the magazine guide.

Not a giant relocation manual.

Not a list of the "best" countries to move to.

And definitely not another overwhelming checklist that leaves you with 47 tabs open and somehow even less clarity than when you started.

The Move Abroad Magazine is a beautiful, approachable place to start figuring out your own move.

INSIDE THE MAGAZINE

You'll work through the questions that actually matter when you're deciding where and how you want to live abroad:

START WITH THE LIFE

Before choosing a country, get clear on the life you're actually trying to create.

What do you want your everyday life to feel like?

What matters most to you?

What are your non-negotiables?

What are you willing to compromise on?

MONEY + REAL LIFE

Get more real about what your move could actually cost.

Think beyond the dreamy apartment and beautiful streets and consider the everyday expenses, financial cushion, income, taxes, and practical realities that come with living somewhere new.

FIND YOUR LOCATION

Start narrowing down the places that could actually fit your life.

We'll look at cities, neighborhoods, pace, environment, community, transportation, access to nature, and the little details that can make an enormous difference in your everyday experience.

THE TUESDAY TEST

Because loving a place on vacation and loving your actual Tuesday there are two very different things.

SHOULD YOU VISIT FIRST?

When it makes sense to test a place before committing, and what to actually pay attention to while you're there.

THE SIX-MONTH QUESTION

A shorter stay can be a completely different experience from building a life long-term somewhere. Here's how to think about that difference.

YOUR MOVE-ABROAD TIMELINE

A practical framework for thinking through the months before you leave, your first weeks in a new place, and the questions you'll want to revisit once you're actually there.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You've been thinking about living abroad for a while, but the idea still feels a little fuzzy.

You have a few countries saved.

Maybe you've fallen down the Portugal rabbit hole. Or Spain. Or France. Or somewhere you haven't even told anyone about yet.

You have a Pinterest board.

You have approximately 420 TikToks & Reels saved.

And you're still thinking:

Okay... but where would I actually live?

This magazine is designed to help you move from collecting information to actually getting clear.

WHY I MADE IT

There is an enormous amount of information online about moving abroad.

That's not really the problem anymore. It's also not the solution.

The challenging part is figuring out which information matters for you.

A place that works beautifully for one person might feel completely off for another.

Your budget, your pace, your work, your social life, your environment, your priorities, your wellbeing, and the kind of everyday life you want all matter.

After more than 10 years of living abroad, I wanted to take what I've learned and put it somewhere that felt supportive without feeling overwhelming.

Something you could actually sit down with.

Write in.

Think through.

Come back to.

And maybe, eventually, use to make a very big decision.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

I'm meesh.eco, the human behind Teach Thrive Abroad (TTA).

I've lived in 10 countries across 5 continents for more than a decade, and I've built my life abroad in many eclectic ways.

TTA is about helping people align where they live with how they want to live.

I don't believe there is one universally perfect place to live + thrive.

I believe location is everything.

I believe there are places that fit certain lifestyles and ways of being better than others.

And figuring out that fit starts with knowing yourself.
