When I first considered a move abroad, I felt selfish. I felt like I was abandoning my family and friends and as if by moving abroad, I was somehow not taking care of my responsibilities back home. And while I do think there are circumstances where it could be considered selfish to move abroad, I think many times these issues can be accounted for. Listen to this podcast episode to hear situations where moving abroad may be considered selfish and how to mitigate these issues.

Choosing the right location when moving abroad is a significant decision, so it's natural to have concerns about making the “wrong choice.” But, it's also important to remember that there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and what may be the perfect location for one person might not be the best for another.

But, I truly believe that if you can do 4 essential things, you can rest assured that you'll have a good move abroad no matter where you decide to go. The three things are:

• 1: You will need some way of making income.
• 2: You will need a visa.
• 3: You will need somewhere to live.
• 4: You will need to build connections with local people.

We dive into each of these 4 things in more detail in the episode. I'll catch you there!
