How we can help you
We inform and empower our clients to design their own Exit Strategy. Through mentorship and coaching, we help you follow through on your dream of living overseas. We can help resolve a wide array of questions including the following:
Where to live
Advice on visas, welcoming and compatible cultures, geography, climate, urban vs rural life, expat communities vs locally embeded living, making local friends, housing options and so much more.
Working abroad
There are tons ways to do this, and we've either done or come across many of them. We can advise on taking a sabbatical, career transitions, self-employment, talking to your boss, or working locally. We also can discuss tax implications of working abroad, and ways to stay connected for business.
Schooling and education
Pulling your kids out of their school can seem like an example of what not to do as a responsible parent. You'll get resistance from many, including the students themselves, sometimes teachers and administrators, other parents and grandparents. But moving abroad will open their world-view and you can make sure they don't "fall behind". In our experience, they will actually end up miles ahead. We can help you navigate all of this: from attending local school, to online, homeschool, worldschool, and unschool options.
Medical care and insurance
Health and safety are top priorities for most families moving abroad, and even young, single, digital nomads need some kind of plan if disaster strikes. We developed a system that works for us, and we can custom-design one that works for you. Uncertain access to quality care can be one of the scariest things about moving abroad, but by working with Exit Strategy we'll make sure you're in good hands.
What to do with your home and stuff
The tyranny of 'stuff' can be so overpowering, it has kept many from pursuing their dreams of world adventure. Should you sell your home? Can you rent it out? Put it on AirBnB? Who will manage your property while you're away? And what to do with all your things? Ship it? Sell it? Store it? We can help answer all of these questions and support you in the process of cutting the ties that bind you in place.
