Move Abroad Master Plan
Start Your Freedom Life for just $37
What began as a passion project has grown into a thriving multi-six-figure company that has supported thousands of people on their journey to living abroad.
Today, I guide ambitious coaches, freelancers, and entrepreneurs to build sustainable, exciting lives abroad with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works.
In 2021, after the pandemic turned my first business upside down, I launched Move Abroad Coach to help others avoid the years of trial and error I went through.
Since then, I’ve earned my master’s degree from a British university in China, saved $40,000 in two years as a college counselor, and lived in six countries including China, Vietnam, Tanzania, Georgia, and now Spain, where I live with my husband and daughter.
That experience lit a fire in me. There had to be a better way to build a life abroad.
When I first moved abroad in 2013, I joined a program that promised adventure and delivered chaos. Within weeks, I found myself stranded on a factory-lined highway in rural China, locked into a contract that would have cost my entire year’s salary to escape, completely alone and wondering what I’d just signed up for.

Where our clients have moved to
Moving abroad feels impossible… until you see someone do it with a life that looked a lot like yours.
A burned-out career. A family of four. A dream put on hold for 20 years.
A health crisis that changed everything. We’ve helped over 70 people move to 24 countries (and counting).
Not one of them had it all figured out before they started. They just decided their dream was worth betting on.
Midian - Albania
Midian spent over 20 years working in the film industry, building a career in special effects makeup, costuming, and prop design through her studio, Monster Makeup FX. From the outside, it looked established and successful — but behind the scenes, she was burned out, carrying debt, and questioning whether the industry she'd given so much to was still right for her. Living in Georgia, USA with her dog, she knew she wanted something different. More independence. Less stress. A life that felt aligned, not just impressive.
Through Freedom Life Experience, Midian began untangling the love-hate relationship she had with her work, exploring new business ideas, and building clarity around what she actually wanted next. Instead of staying stuck in burnout, she made a bold move and moved before she was ‘ready’ and had everything figured out.
She relocated to Albania with her dog Gracie Lue, choosing a slower pace of life and a fresh start. Now she's focused on reshaping her income in a way that supports her mental health, creativity, and long-term freedom — designing a life that feels sustainable, not survival-based.
Midian's story isn't about escaping her past. It's about reclaiming her future and creating multiple income streams through coaching and her dumpling business.
Barry - Digital Nomad
Through Freedom Life Experience, Barry turned a 20-year dream into a real, executable plan — replacing "someday" with a departure date. He sold his home, wrapped up his US chapter, and left in January 2026 to go fully digital nomad. Since then he's embraced lightweight, location-flexible living, starting with Costa Rica and mapping out his next destinations as he goes.
Barry's story is a reminder that sometimes the shake-up you didn't plan for is exactly the push you needed — and that it's never too late to finally make the move you've been thinking about for decades.
Barry had wanted to move abroad for over 20 years. After living in eight different US states — most recently Tacoma, Washington — he always felt the pull to experience more of the world, but the timing never quite felt right.
Then 2025 turned everything upside down. What initially felt like massive life disruption became the catalyst he needed. Instead of rebuilding the same life again, Barry chose something different.
Ije made a bold international leap, relocating from Houston, Texas to Thailand.
An entrepreneur at heart and former athlete, Ije is stepping into a new chapter alongside her partner, building a location-independent life from the ground up. With a background in content creation and graphic design, she's building multiple income streams — from mindset coaching to creative services — as she defines the business that will support her long-term freedom.
With ADHD and big ideas, Ije brings energy, enthusiasm, and vision to everything she does. Through Freedom Life Experience, she learnt how to channel that ambition into focused action — prioritising consistent income, clarifying her niche, and building stability before expansion.
Her move to Asia wasn't about having it all perfectly figured out. It was about choosing momentum, trusting growth in real time, and building her freedom life step by step. Thailand is just the beginning.
Ije - Thailand
Monica - Netherlands
Now based in Amsterdam, Monica blends her background in social work, entrepreneurship, and coaching to support others through both the practical and emotional sides of big transitions. Her approach combines neuroscience, mindset work, self-compassion, and strategy — because moving abroad isn't just about logistics, it's about identity, growth, and building a life that truly fits.
Today she's living her freedom life, building business, community, and friendships abroad — and helping others turn their "someday" into a plan.
Originally from California and later Portland, Oregon, Monica always had a feeling she'd return to Europe after studying abroad in England in 2013. What once felt like a "someday" dream became real when she joined Richelle's Bootcamp in 2022, committed to the plan, and moved to the Netherlands on the DAFT visa less than two years later.
Monica scaled her writing and coaching business from $5,000 to $85,000 in annual revenue in just one year, creating the financial stability to fully support her life abroad.
