How to Start Planning Your Move Abroad

How do you begin preparing to live abroad when you still have work, contracts, belongings, bills, family, and a business in the United States?In this episode of UnCultured: Work + Relocation, Shauna K. sits down with inspirational speaker, social-emotional learning mentor, wellness trainer, author, and founder Freddy “Mr. Love…No Ego” Jackson.Freddy is actively working toward living abroad for at least six months each year. He is finishing major in-person contracts, reducing his possessions, cutting unnecessary expenses, strengthening his digital offers, and exploring countries including Jamaica, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, and Barbados.Rather than interviewing someone after the relocation is complete, this conversation offers an honest look at the preparation stage: the moment when the desire is clear, but the location, business structure, and logistics are still being worked out.Shauna and Freddy discuss how to choose a country, why a scouting trip is different from a vacation, how to create freedom-based income, and why your personal brand may become the bridge between your current work and a global life.They also explore the role of nature, sunlight, community, spiritual alignment, transportation access, healthcare, flight routes, and family responsibilities when selecting a place to live.In this episode:How to begin planning a move abroadRelocating before retirementBuilding location-independent incomeCreating a portable personal brandTurning speaking and coaching into global workReducing possessions and unnecessary billsScouting trips versus vacationsSeasonal and partial-year relocationChoosing the right countryExpat communities and Facebook groupsInternational flight accessHealthcare and infrastructure abroadMoving abroad with a partnerPersonal development and professional developmentLiving abroad as part of your callingIf you feel called toward a different country but keep telling yourself you need more time, more money, or a more complete plan, this episode will help you identify the next practical step.Welcome to the Uncultured Show's Work and Relocation Mini-Series, featuring final guest speaker Freddy Jackson!
