What's your reason for wanting to move abroad?

[konnierad]

Remember: We were brought here to work. We are expected to work until we drop. We must love ourselves.

[todrapayne]

My husband and I have been nomadic for five years. For three years we bopped around Europe and it was amazing. 18 countries! We're back in the states because of family stuff and we're miserable. We are discussing where we'll settle in the future. I've traveled abroad since I was a teen, but when I actually lived in places for three to 15 months and became part of community in other countries, it changed everything. We lived in Albania for a year and I remember I was at the fish shop down the street and decided I wanted to add a bottle of wine to my order. I was going to walk back up the hill to get more money and the owner was like, "Why are you doing that? Just pay me the next time you're over here." I was literally confused. He said, "You're my neighbor. I know you." That was it.

We had so many experiences like that in Europe, it was crazy. Leaving my bike outside of the grocery store for hours unchained in Finland. Not a soul bothered it. Getting on the bus with the wrong ticket and being told I could ride for free because the driver didn't want me to miss my flight. Just the we were treated was night and day to the US. I can't wait to leave again.

My biggest challenge regarding "American life" is the isolation, greed, obscene expectations, and cutthroat comparisons. I've hung on for far too long in a one-sided relationship with the U.S.

I will no longer be a support person for the rich.

I absolutely love these ladies. I watch them so much, I feel like I know them. I know their focus is black women. I am black, but I am not a woman, but I enjoy them just the same. I lived abroad for many years, and I love traveling. I never thought that leaving your job would be a movement. I left my job in December and now I live in a $15.00 a night hotel in Chiquimula Guatemala. Life is good.

My last day at my job was this past Friday. I’ve developed a stress related autoimmune disease, and I’m over the political and social environment here in the US. I’m 35 and I’ve decided I’m in early retirement. Thank you for this platform ladies ❤ feels good to have a safe space where I won’t be looked at sideways for my decision

[Manze]

It’s me realizing that the struggle, microagressions and hustle is never ending. If I want change, I have to choose something different. I love the US but it doesn’t love me back😢

The best life is having a life that you don’t need a vacation from. ♊️ 👩🏽 🐈‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ 👽 🛸 🔮 🌷

"How much of a hippie do you want to become?" Frankly, this question fills me with delight!

[patricehart]

Omg!! Thank you Stephanie Perry for your story! Being single no kids and a stressful job. I’m tired. Tired of anxiety and depression. Working on my relationship with Christ and stepping out on faith! Love this!

[annastasiabeverhaus]

I was just telling my friend about you saying that leaving your job and the US stops you from supporting white supremacy. It really hit me deep. TRUTH!!!! I’m planning on going to Italy 🇮🇹 and further in October with any money I can possibly find. With the Lord’s blessing and mercy and free house sitting accommodations, I SHALL RISE!!!! 🙌🏾

[theafricanblogger]

I just moved back home to Africa after living in America for 37 years. I'm loving ❤️ it. I'm also on a mission to encourage others to leave Babylon before it burns down. You two ladies are beautiful 😍 inside and out. I appreciate you ladies very much 😊❤

[MensahLaw]

Completely valid information. You ladies sound JUST LIKE ME 20 years ago. When they re-elected Bush, I knew it was time for my Exodus to Ghana 🇬🇭 Two Decades Later still the best decision of my life. I reinvent myself periodically and presently more fulfilled than I ever dreamed possible.

[lindsayo]

Don’t leave until you have a solid plan for how you’ll support yourself in old age. I’ve seen many of these free spirited people who didn’t save for retirement when they could really suffer in nursing homes. Living your best nomadic life is easy when you’re young, not so easy when you’re older unless you planned well.

I'm Rene' whose 63yrs and single. I'm currently living in Kenya and lovin it!!! I'm stress free and retired. I own my own home and land. I would have never been able to do what I have in America. Moreover, I have lived in China 2x, United Arab Emirates, and Kenya. I have traveled a lot different places (Jamaica, Mexico, St Thomas, Europe etc) and I chose Kenya. At this time, I plan to visit other African countries and Asia and work my farm land. America will always be my country but not my home. Be bless and Shalom ❤🇰🇪🇺🇸

[LashusJourney]

We’re moving to Jamaica next year too, I totally agree with these beautiful ladies ❤. We’re in the belly of the beast in the USA.

I’m so glad this video popped up for me. I am approaching 47 and I identified as a truck driver and my children are adults and I have one grandchild and one on the way but you all are speaking my language. I just did a YouTube video about me evolving at my age. I haven’t saved much but I have worked hard my whole life and my whole soul is tired. I must learn more and do more and I definitely want to go!!

[deevashay]

I am that woman who has a husband who has heard me talk about this and since the pandemic. When I first started listening to Stephanie, Her videos were my Escape while trapped in what was my safe space from Covid scares. But blessings are real and my husband is on board! We are planning our scouting trips as we speak! 1st stop, Mexico!! I cannot wait to meet you both at one of the meet ups. Keep the beautiful content coming. I really do love you guys.❤

Replay gang! Good morning ladies! Thank you for this upload. I’ve have been living abroad for a bit over a year and my life took a complete 180 for the best. The greatest change I have experienced thus far is the community I gained. Everything that I may have stressed about in the US I haven’t had to worry about now. My stress levels have dropped drastically resulting in over 20 lbs of weight loss. Nowhere is perfect but I have found more happiness with less than everything I had in the US. Keep up the great work ladies! Greetings from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 ❤
