Moving abroad and this caught me off guard #relocation #tips

Nearly 40% of people who move abroad move back home within five years.
In this video, we break down 19 of the most popular countries to move abroad and the 57 real reasons expats, retirees, and digital nomads end up leaving. We cover taxes, visas, healthcare, banking, housing, and cost-of-living issues that don’t show up in travel videos.

If you’re thinking about living abroad, retiring abroad, or becoming an expat, this video helps you understand the real trade-offs before you move.

We’ve lived abroad for over four years. This isn’t a “don’t move abroad” video — it’s a do your homework first video.
