    118: Before the checklist: 5 key decisions before you move abroad

    Most people think they’re stuck because they don’t know what to do. In reality, they haven’t decided what they want. There are a few key decisions you need to make before you start working through a move abroad checklist. We'll cover those key decisions today.  In this episode, we talk about the decisions that come before action—and why getting them wrong early can cost you time, money, and momentum. We cover: Why checklists don’t work if you don’t know which version of Europe you’re moving towardWhy choosing “Europe” isn’t the same as choosing a countryHow visa reality should shape your decisions—not the other way aroundThe role of work and income in shaping your moveHow your timeline and personality affect your strategyThe big takeaway: moving abroad isn’t one big leap—it’s a series of decisions. Once those decisions are clear, the checklist becomes obvious. If you’ve been collecting checklists, guides, and timelines—but still feel stuck—this episode is for you. 👉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

    116: Move Abroad: The Explosion of Relocation Trends

    More Americans aren’t just dreaming about moving abroad—they’re actively planning it. The real question now isn’t if this shift will grow, but how fast. In this episode, I break down why I believe moving abroad is about to become far more common—and why this isn’t a trend or a social media phase. We look at the real signals behind the shift, including: Data showing how many Americans are seriously considering leavingWhy interest is turning into real action, not just curiosityHow remote and portable work changed what’s possibleWhy Europe continues to rise to the top for AmericansHow expanding visa options are removing major barriersWhy younger generations are driving this movementThis episode isn’t about telling everyone to move. Instead, it’s about understanding why so many people feel pulled toward life abroad right now—and what that means for your own timeline. If “someday” has started to feel like “now,” this episode will help you make sense of it. 👉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

    115: If You Don’t Move Abroad: A 5-Year Thought Experiment

    Most people who move abroad don’t regret it. However, many people regret not going—and that’s what this episode explores. In this episode, I walk you through a simple five-year thought experiment. You’ll imagine two futures: one where you stay, and one where you go. We talk honestly about what each path really looks like—not the romantic version, but the real one. We cover the quiet cost of waiting, the myth of the “perfect time,” and the confidence that comes from finally trying—even if it doesn’t last forever. This episode isn’t about pushing you to decide today.  It’s about helping you get clear. By the end, you’ll be left with one question: Which future scares you more? 👉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

    111: The difference between people who move abroad… and the people who don’t

    Why do some people uproot their lives, move abroad, and thrive — while others stay stuck dreaming about it for years? In this episode, we break down the real difference between the people who make the move… and the people who don’t. And it has nothing to do with personality, luck, or being “naturally adventurous.” I walk through the mindset traits that separate the doers from the dreamers — the people who take gritty, imperfect action versus the ones who wait for the perfect plan. We cover how movers build confidence through small wins, handle fear differently, ignore the naysayers, and protect their dream until it’s strong enough to share. You’ll hear why identity plays a bigger role than logistics, how future-based decision making works, and why emotional resilience matters more than knowing every step upfront. If you’ve been thinking about moving abroad but haven’t started, this episode will help you understand what’s been holding you back — and what to shift so you can finally take action. At the end, I’ll prompt you to reflect on which mover traits you already embody and which ones you want to strengthen.
