Facing a major transition like an upcoming move overseas is both exciting and terrifying. Where do you even begin?

Most video lessons include actual footage from my own recent transition abroad from Rome, Italy to Yangon, Myanmar to help illustrate the good, the bad, and the ugly when dealing with a major transition like an upcoming move.

My goal is to empower unapologetic idealists through art, design, and education.I’m an American/Portuguese interdisciplinary artist recently returned to Rome, Italy after eight years in Asia and Africa. After decades of experience as a digital artist, in 2021 I reconnected with my fine art roots. My mixed media drawings are inspired by the ambitious mission statements of the world’s top...
good information
I loved how personal the professor was, and really appreciated all the tips. She used her experience and knowledge in a good way, and it felt like I was learning from a friend.
Everything you need to know about moving abroad in a nutshell! Highly recommend
I enjoyed the course....lots of great learning and tips. My only recommendation would be (in additional to have resources listed with each section/chapter) to provide a summary of all the resources in one central area - at the end of the course.
The videos are more like a vlog than being actual lessons and I enjoyed that. Helpful indeed, though I honestly did expect something like a webinar with Powerpoint presentation with narrations. Thank you Kristen. :)
I liked the personal touch, involving the kids, etc.
What was missing: examples of cultural differences, integrating with the expat and local community, etc.
A charming course, although not exactly what I expected.
Having done it several times, Kristen knows exactly what she is talking about (in her own words): The good, the bad, and the ugly of moving abroad.
Her personal experience which she shares throughout the whole course will boost your confidence. Kristen guides you through the three major stages of moving (before, during, and directly afterwards) and gives plenty of helpful advice on what to focus on, and when.
She adresses extra challenges like moving from one foreign country to another (Italy to Myanmar!) and as an entire family with your spouse, children, pet, and all the things you can’t leave behind, plus fighting bureaucracy and other unforseen obstacles, while managing to not go nuts during the whole process.
A very personal approach with a handy bullet list at the end (Yay! I love bullet lists! It’s the German genes...) and a truly comforting message throughout: You can do it!
Great course!
Kristen created a course around the topic I'm passionate about: Living and moving Abroad.
Kristen takes you through her entire move and literally, you feel you're there with her.
She involves her kids in the lectures and you really feel as if you're part of the family, while moving abroad. It couldn't feel more ''real'' than this.
I'm an expat too, and as culture trainer and speaker, this topic is what I most love sharing about: how to live abroad successfully. Actually, I just launched a book about it.
Kristen wrote a great book about working abroad, which is so important, and still too often people leave their home country without preparation or research.
Books, courses, research, all of it is so important before you decide to move abroad.
This course is definitely a MUST to include in your preparation!!!!
Thanks!

This is a great introductory course for anyone who is moving to a new country. Kristen takes all of her experiences from living abroad and concisely share her tips and tricks.
