The Move Abroad Coach Podcast
You didn’t start your business to stay stuck in the same city, the same routine, and the same life you’ve outgrown. You built it for freedom — and now you’re ready to take that freedom overseas. The Move Abroad Coach Podcast is your space for real, unfiltered conversations about building a business and a life you love overseas. Hosted by Richelle Gamlam, founder of Move Abroad Coach who has been living abroad for twelve years, this show blends strategy, mindset, and identity work to help you create a step-by-step freedom plan and finally make your move. Here, we don’t do generic how-to lists or heavily edited episodes. Instead, Richelle shares the coaching, stories, and practical frameworks that help coaches, freelancers, and entrepreneurs move abroad with confidence and alignment. If you’re craving deeper conversations, personalized insight, and the real behind-the-scenes of creating a freedom life, you’ll feel right at home. Come learn how to build a business that supports your freedom, create a concrete plan you can actually implement, and step into the version of you who lives a life you don’t need a vacation from.

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