#66 Spilling the Tea: Why You SHOULDN’T Move Abroad on Programs like Remote Year

Season 1 Episode 66

Reminder: Our Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp starts THIS WEEKEND! I hope to see you there. Grab your ticket here.
-------

Today, I'm diving deep into the world of digital nomad programs, with a special focus on the most popular one, Remote Year.

The reason why I need to share this with you is that it's so important to be fully aware of what you're signing up for, including the financial costs and the lack of control over crucial aspects like destinations, accommodations, and coworking spaces.

I'll also share some eye-opening stories from participants facing challenges like sexual harassment, racism, and a lack of support from these programs.

My goal is to stress the importance of feeling confident and empowered to plan your own adventure and make your own decisions when moving abroad.

And guess what? If you're ready to take charge of your move abroad journey, I've got just the thing for you. Join my Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp for personalized guidance and support to help you every step of the way. 

Let's get you living your dream life abroad!
