    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

If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. 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.

    143: If I could go back, would I still leave America? (I get a bit raw in this one...)

    If I woke up tomorrow as my 23-year-old self, knowing everything I know now, would I still move abroad? It is one of the biggest questions I ask myself from time to time. And today I am answering it honestly. This episode is a little different. There is no step-by-step guide or checklist. Instead, I am getting personal about what it has actually been like to build a life abroad, what I would do exactly the same, what I would change, and what surprised me in ways I never expected. Here is what we are covering: The biggest wins that made moving abroad one of the best decisions I have ever madeThe things that genuinely surprised me that nobody warned me aboutWhat I would do differently if I could start overWhether I would still choose London or whether another city might have been a better fitThe hardest question of all — would I still leave America?What I would tell my 23-year-old self before she got on that planeAnd at the end of it all I am coming back to the big question. Would I move abroad again? If moving abroad is not a perfect life, but it is a bigger life, a more adventurous life, and a life that helped me grow into someone I never would have become otherwise  then what is your answer? Here is the question I want to leave you with. 5 years from now, which decision are you more likely to regret? Trying it? Or always wondering what would have happened if you had? I would love to hear from you.

    142: How to Make Friends When You Move Abroad: My Best Tips for Building a Community

    One of the biggest myths about moving abroad is that friendships will happen naturally once you arrive. In reality, making friends abroad as an adult in a brand new country is one of the hardest parts of the move. And almost nobody plans for it. In this episode I am sharing my best tips for intentionally building a community abroad so your new country actually starts to feel like home. Here is what we are covering: Why community matters more than most people realize and why it often determines whether someone stays abroad or moves back homeWhy feeling lonely at first does not mean you made the wrong decisionThe simple rule that completely changed how I approached making friends abroadHow to find your people through shared interests and consistent routinesWhether to focus on local friends or other expats and why the answer is bothThe best apps and platforms for making real in-person connections abroadWhy becoming a regular somewhere is one of the most underrated strategies for building communityHow to be the one who makes the first move even when it feels uncomfortableMaking friends abroad is not about becoming best friends with everyone you meet. It is about consistently putting yourself in situations where connection can happen. And over time your new city will start to feel less like a destination and more like home because of the people you meet along the way.

    Everyone dreams about moving abroad. The cafes, the walkable streets, the slower pace of life. But then comes one of the biggest reality checks nobody talks about — finding somewhere to live.

Here is what we are covering: Why housing abroad is different from what most Americans expectThe two-phase approach that makes finding a home so much less stressfulWhat renting actually looks like in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and PortugalThe most common housing mistakes people make and how to avoid themWhy your priorities will probably shift once you actually get thereThe emotional side of housing abroad that nobody really prepares you forYour first apartment does not have to be your forever home. It just has to be your starting point. Still figuring out which European city is the right fit before you even start thinking about housing?
