Welcome to How to Move Abroad (because Google is not a plan) — the podcast for Americans who are done “considering it” and ready to actually make the move happen. I’m Mistelle. I’ve moved abroad three times, I don’t have a magic second passport, and I’m not here to sell you a fantasy life on a cobblestone street. We’re talking the stuff that actually decides whether you can move: visas, budgets, t... more

In German, even after years, I am a flattened version of myself. I can express the basic version of an idea. I cannot do nuance. The jokes don't translate. And in social situa... more

Moving abroad is a privilege. I'm going to say that clearly and then spend the whole episode explaining what I mean by it — because I don't mean what you might think I mean.

Very informative and well said. As a military spouse there were lots of decisions about what to keep in and what to throw away when we were transferred to Germany. It’s amazing how you can easily do without things when you have only 450lbs for your first shipment and 3000lbs total to ship…it is however not easily weighted before you have to start the big decisions!
Good job daughter dear! As your mom it’s so great to see you share your joy of overseas living!
After listening to Mistelle, I’m already thinking about the items in my house and how very little I will actually bring with me. I haven’t got a current plan to move abroad but it is a goal and I’ll be thinking about this episode whenever I bring new items into my current home.

A practical, no-nonsense show focused on turning the idea of living abroad into a concrete, doable plan. Host Mistelle guides listeners through visas, budgets, timelines, and healthcare, plus the realities of doing this with a partner or family.
