So, you’re planning to move abroad, and you’ve got your budget all figured out—right?

In this episode, I take you through the financial rollercoaster of my first international move—how I burned through my savings way too fast, the unexpected costs that caught me off guard, and the struggle of securing a work visa when I got there.

From navigating hidden expenses to learning how to budget when you only get paid once every six months, I’m sharing the lessons I learned the hard way so you don’t have to. If you’re considering a move abroad, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips to help you financially prepare for your adventure.

To kick off Black History Month the Best Life Abroad way, I am featuring two brilliant, Black educators that are living their best lives in Honduras. Join us as we talk about the joys of teaching, the challenges of being an educator in the US, and the benefits of making the decision to transition to teaching abroad.

As a former K-12 teacher, this episode is near and dear to my heart. Shout out to all the educators out there guiding our babies to becoming productive, empathetic, socially driven members of our society. We understand that the struggle of teaching in the United States is real. Often times lacking support, flexibility, resources, and the financial compensation you deserve. There is a way for you to continue shaping the future and live the life you want to live if you are willing to try it from abroad.

In this episode of Best Life Abroad: Not Your Average Travel Podcast, I speak to Jevonya who is living in Mexico. She is the perfect example to show us that all we need to do is be willing to take the first step. Jevonya also reminds us that a sabbatical or short-term move abroad is also an option for those who need a change of scenery or need to get their feet wet before making a permanent move. Thank you Jevonya for sharing your story.
