You're not lost.
You're stuck at the decision.

If you've been researching for months — or years — you have more than enough information. What's missing isn't another country guide. It's a single conversation with someone who has actually done this, who can look at your specific situation and tell you what to do next.

🏠

You're thinking about selling everything

You own a home or assets and you want to know if liquidation is a real strategy — and in what order to do it.

🌍

You have 2–3 countries in mind and can't decide

You've narrowed it down but you're going in circles. You need someone who's been to both to give you a real comparison.

📋

The visa stuff is blocking you

You don't know which visa you qualify for, or the process feels too complex to navigate without guidance from someone who has done it.

💰

You don't know your number

You haven't calculated your financial runway and you're not sure if you have enough, or how to calculate what "enough" actually means.

🐕

You're moving with a pet

Your dog or cat is non-negotiable. You need to know the logistics — microchip standards, health certificates, airline policies — before you commit to a country.

⏱️

You've been "planning" long enough

You know more than most people who have successfully made this move. At some point the research has to end and the decision has to happen.

Three deliverables.
One hour. Every time.

This call has a clear outcome promise. If you don't leave with all three of these, the next session is free. Because if you don't — I didn't do my job.

01

Your Country Decision

Not a shortlist. A decision. We'll look at your income type, lifestyle requirements, pet logistics if relevant, and tolerance for bureaucratic complexity — and narrow it to one answer.

02

Your Visa Path Mapped

Which visa you realistically qualify for, what the application requires, what the timeline looks like, and what the one or two steps are that people miss. Specific to your country and income type.

03

Your Financial Runway Number

The exact number you need to make this move — calculated from your target country's real costs, your transition expenses, visa fees, and a realistic buffer. No vague "you need savings." A number.

Your Move Abroad Readiness Report™

After the call, you receive a personalized written report — not a template with your name in it. A document built from what we actually discussed, formatted and ready to act on.

✓ Country decision + rationale ✓ Visa path step by step ✓ Financial runway number ✓ 90-day action sequence ✓ Resources for your destination

Every planning call runs on the M.O.V.E. Method™

The M.O.V.E. Method™ is the proprietary relocation framework I built from my own experience moving from the U.S. to France and South Africa. It's a sequenced system that maps where you are right now to where you need to be before your first day abroad. Your call works through each stage — we find where the gaps are and fill them in order.

M
Map Your Mindset
Identify what's actually holding you back and reframe it as a solvable problem with a sequenced solution.
O
Own Your Financial Runway
Calculate your real move-abroad budget using your actual assets — income, savings, home equity, and everything liquidatable.
V
Venture to Your Country
Choose your destination strategically — not based on Instagram — and plan a scouting trip that gives you real data before you commit.
E
Establish Abroad
Land with a plan — visa secured, banking set up, housing identified, and a timeline that accounts for every moving part.

Experience that's specific, traceable, and firsthand.

Anyone can publish a visa overview. What you'll find on this page — and in your planning call — comes from extended, firsthand experience in two countries, across multiple visa processes, funded by a real asset liquidation strategy. Here is what that looks like in practice.

🇫🇷
Paris, France
3 months navigating Schengen rules in real time

The Schengen 90-day rule is not theoretical when you're living it. I tracked entry and exit dates, understood exactly when the 180-day window reset, and structured my stays accordingly. When I advise on extended Europe stays, it's from having done the math on my own passport.

What this means for you:If France or any Schengen country is on your list, you'll get real logistics — not a summary of what the rules say in theory.
🇿🇦
South Africa
Long-stay visa secured through Home Affairs, Pretoria

The South African long-stay visa involves notarization AND apostille — two separate steps most people conflate. Application intake goes through VFS Global; processing happens at Home Affairs in Pretoria. I navigated this from submission to approval. I also lived in both Cape Town (Sea Point, Green Point) and Johannesburg — they are not the same experience.

The honest reality:Load-shedding is real and will affect your daily life. I'll tell you how to plan for it — not whether to let it stop you.
💰
Financial Runway
Liquidated a house, a car, and a household to fund the move

I sold my house at COVID peak, my car to CarMax, and everything else on Facebook Marketplace. That is literally where the money came from. When I walk a client through their financial runway calculation, I'm applying the same framework I had to build for myself. The M.O.V.E. Method™ stage "Own Your Financial Runway" exists because I had to figure it out first.

What most people miss:Your financial runway is not just your savings — it's every liquidatable asset you're sitting on right now.
🗺️
Scouting Methodology
Scouting trips in France and South Africa before committing

A scouting trip is not a vacation. I developed a specific methodology for what to test, where to stay, and what data to collect before committing. Furnished apartments in many cities listed on local Facebook groups run 30–50% less than Airbnb monthly rates. You can only access that gap when you're physically there — and only if you know what to look for.

What this means for you:Your call can include a scouting trip framework specific to your destination — so you collect the right data when you go.

I've done this.
In two countries.
With a dog.

I'm not a travel blogger and I'm not a lawyer. I'm someone who needed this exact help, couldn't find it, figured it out the hard way, and built a system from it.

The M.O.V.E. Method™ exists because I needed it and it didn't exist. The Planning Call is what I wish I'd had at the start.

Three months in Paris tracking the Schengen 90-day rolling window myself — and nearly getting it wrong.
South Africa long-stay visa secured — including the notarization vs. apostille step most people get wrong.
Multiple extended stays across Cape Town (Sea Point, Hout Bay) and Johannesburg — not tourist visits.
Funded the move by selling my house at COVID-peak pricing, my car to CarMax, and everything else on Facebook Marketplace.
Relocated with my dog — ISO microchip, health certificate timing, carrier policies, import rules. Done it.
Researched hands-on: Portugal D7, Spain DNV, Thailand LTR — comparing income requirements, timelines, and real qualification criteria.

"My dollar in Cape Town vs. my dollar in Paris felt like two different incomes on paper. That's not a feeling — it's purchasing power parity. And it changes every calculation you're making right now."

When you book a Planning Call, you're not talking to someone who has read about this. You're talking to someone who has the visa stamp, the receipts, the bank statements, and the dog-import paperwork.

Every specific claim I make in content — including on this page — is traceable to something I've personally navigated. That's the standard I hold myself to. It should be the standard you hold any move-abroad advisor to.

From booking
to decision in 3 steps.

1

Fill out the intake form below

Four questions: where you are in the process, your income situation, your target countries, and your biggest blocker. This takes 3 minutes and lets me come in prepared instead of spending the first 20 minutes of the call getting oriented.

2

Pay and book your time slot

$197, paid at booking. You'll pick a time that works for you. You'll get a confirmation with a Zoom link and a short prep note from me with what to have ready before the call.

3

Show up. Leave with a plan.

60 minutes. We'll work through your country decision, map your visa path, and calculate your financial runway number. I'll send you a Move Abroad Readiness Report™ — a branded document with your country decision, visa path, runway number, and five immediate next steps — within 24 hours.

The objections I hear
most often — answered.

"I'm not sure I can afford this."

You can't afford to keep researching in circles. One wrong visa application can cost $500–$2,000 in fees and months of time. The call is $197. If it saves you one mistake — and it will — it pays for itself immediately.

"I don't have a remote job yet."

Good — we should talk then. Not having a remote job lined up doesn't mean you can't go. Asset liquidation is a real, documented funding strategy. We'll look at your actual situation and figure out your real path.

"I need to do more research first."

You've been saying that for how long? The research doesn't end on its own. You make a decision and stop. That's what this call does — it makes the decision for you, in a way you feel confident about.

"What if I don't like the answers?"

Then you'll know. "This isn't the right time" is a real outcome and it's a useful one. What's not useful is three more months of half-research and no decision. We get to a real answer — whatever it is.

"Can't I just read the Toolkit instead?"

The Toolkit is for the full process. The Planning Call is for right now — when you have a specific situation and you need someone to look at it directly. They serve different purposes. The call is for people who are ready to make a decision today.

"I'm not sure you can help with my specific situation."

Fill out the intake form below. If I'm not the right resource for your situation, I'll tell you before we book — and I'll point you toward what you actually need. I'd rather do that than take your money and underdeliver.

Real people. Real plans.

★★★★★

"I kept assuming I needed a remote job lined up before I could even think about this seriously. Kimberly asked me three questions about my house and I realized I'd been sitting on a $90k down payment for a life abroad and treating it like it didn't exist. We spent the whole call figuring out my actual runway. I just needed someone to show me the math."

— R.M., Phoenix AZ

★★★★★

"Moving abroad alone as a woman in my 40s — there's a lot of noise online about whether that's safe, whether it's realistic, whether you're crazy for wanting it. Kimberly didn't treat any of that as the obstacle. She treated my timeline and my budget as the obstacle, which is the correct framing. I leave for Lisbon in April."

— S.B., Nashville TN

★★★★★

"I went from 'I'll probably do this someday' to 'I leave in six months' in one call. Worth every dollar."

— A.C., Denver CO

Three deliverables.
Or the next session is free.

If you don't leave the call with a country decision, a visa path, and a financial runway number — I'll give you another session at no charge. That's not a legal disclaimer. It's the standard I hold myself to. If you don't have those three things, I didn't do my job.

Intake Form

Takes 3 minutes. Lets me come in prepared.

I'll review and respond within 48 hours. No spam, no pitch — just a booking link if it's a fit.

Frequently asked.

We work through your situation in order: country decision first (or confirmation if you're already 90% there), visa path second (which visa you qualify for, what the application requires, timeline), financial runway number third (I'll walk you through the formula and we'll calculate it together using your actual numbers). You'll spend about 20 minutes per deliverable. I send a written summary within 24 hours.
No. Deciding the country is deliverable #1. Come in with a shortlist of 2–3 if you have one, or even just a region (Europe, Africa, Latin America). We'll narrow it down from there using your income type, lifestyle requirements, and visa situation.
No. Remote income is one path. Asset liquidation — selling your home, your car, your belongings — is another documented path that I used myself. Passive income and pension income also qualify for specific visa categories in several countries. We'll look at your actual income situation and figure out your real options.
Yes. I relocated with my dog, so pet logistics are part of the country-selection conversation. Some countries have quarantine requirements, some have specific microchip standards (ISO 15784 is the one most people miss), and airline carrier policies vary significantly. We'll factor your pet into the country decision so you don't get to step 3 of the process and find out a country you love has a 6-month quarantine.
The Planning Call is actually more valuable the further out you are, because the decisions we make now affect what you do with the next 12 months. If you know your country, visa path, and runway number 12 months out, you build toward a specific target instead of just "researching." The runway number in particular changes what you do with every dollar between now and your move date.
If you don't leave the call with all three deliverables — a country decision, a visa path, and a financial runway number — I'll schedule a second session at no charge. This is not a legal disclaimer. It's the standard the call is built to deliver. If I don't hit it, you shouldn't pay for it.
