    151: Will moving abroad actually make you happier

    Most of us imagine that moving abroad is going to make us happier. We picture the beautiful European city, the walkable streets, the better work-life balance, the weekend trips, the amazing people. And then we move. And eventually it just becomes normal life. In this episode I am not giving you a simple yes or no. Because the answer is more nuanced than that. And I think it is one of the most important questions to sit with before you make the move. Here is what we are covering: Why we think moving abroad will make us happier and the psychological trap behind itWhat moving abroad genuinely changed for me including lifestyle, travel, perspective, and identityWhat moving abroad did not fix and the problems that followed me across the AtlanticThe bigger question worth asking: are you unhappy with your location or unhappy with something else?My honest personal scorecard after almost 7 years abroadThe question you should actually be asking instead of will moving abroad make me happierA simple 2 list exercise to help you get honest about what you are really expecting the move to changeBecause moving abroad does not manufacture happiness. But it can absolutely change the environment in which you build your life. And sometimes that makes all the difference. 👉Take the free quiz: Which European city should you move to? 🤔 Grab my free guide: 5 exact steps to move abroad Website: jordangiberson.com Instagram: @jordan.giberson

    The biggest question most people have about moving abroad is how to find a European employer to sponsor them. But what if you make your own money? You do not need anyone to sponsor you.

    149: The grass isn't always greener—but what if it is?

    Have you ever thought about moving abroad and then immediately started talking yourself out of it? Maybe you picture yourself living in Italy, spending your mornings at a cafe, or moving to Spain with the beach just a short walk away. And then the questions start. What if I hate it? What if I miss my family? What if I move and realize America actually has it better? There is some truth to that. But I think we have taken that phrase way too far. Because sometimes the grass is not greener. Sometimes it is just different. And you will not know which one it is until you actually look. Here is what we are talking about in this episode: Why the grass is always greener mindset is one of the biggest things keeping people from moving abroadWhy comparing your current reality to your imagined life abroad is not a fair comparison and what to do insteadWhy every life has trade-offs and what that actually means for your decisionWhat greener really means and the questions worth asking yourself before you goWhy you do not have to prove that Europe is better than America to make this decisionThe difference between fear and intuition and why it matters more than you thinkThe real cost of not moving and the question most people never ask themselvesWhy moving abroad does not have to mean leaving America foreverAre the reasons you are not moving actually reasons you do not want to go? Or are they reasons you are afraid to go? Because those are two very different things. The grass is not always greener. But sometimes the grass you have been standing on just is not the grass you want anymore. And that is okay. 👉Take the free quiz: Which European city should you move to? 🤔 Grab my free guide: 5 exact steps to move abroad Website: jordangiberson.com Instagram: @jordan.giberson

    147: Do you really have to take a pay cut to move to Europe?

    One of the biggest things I hear from Americans who want to move abroad is this: I would love to move to Europe but I cannot afford to take a huge pay cut. And honestly? They are not completely wrong. If you move from New York to Portugal and take a local job, you are probably not going to make your New York salary. But that is not the only way to build a career in Europe. And today we are busting that myth wide open. In this episode I am walking you through six concrete strategies for moving to Europe without sacrificing your income. Here is what we are covering: How to keep your US salary while living in Europe and why this should be your first question before anything elseHow working for a multinational company could be one of the most overlooked pathways to moving abroadWhich European industries and countries actually pay competitive and sometimes exceptional salariesWhy you should never confuse salary with purchasing power and how that changes everythingHow to make money from American clients while living in a more affordable European cityWhich countries to target depending on whether your priority is maximum salary, US company opportunities, or lower cost of living with foreign incomeYou do not necessarily have to choose between making good money and living in Europe. You just have to think differently about where your income is coming from. 👉Take the free quiz: Which European city should you move to? 🤔 Grab my free guide: 5 exact steps to move abroad Website: jordangiberson.com Instagram: @jordan.giberson

Here is what we are covering: The difference between feeling guilty about leaving and your parents actually needing you — they are not the same thingHow to have an honest conversation with your parents before you make any announcementsHow to create a practical emergency plan that reduces anxiety for everyoneWhy thinking about the middle years completely changes how you see this decisionWhy you do not have to choose your entire life todayI will also leave you with one question that might completely change how you see all of this.

    Most people spend months or even years planning how to move abroad. They research visas, jobs, apartments, and flights. But almost nobody talks about what happens after you actually arrive.
