NEW: The Dream Locale Decoder Playbook
Because “somewhere warmer with good coffee and decent Wi-Fi” is a vibe — not a plan.
Hey!
Today’s post is part of our Dream Life Abroad Starter Kit series — and we’ve got a bunch of juicy tools dropping this month, all leading up to the big launch of our new brand, Home/Abroad, in early July.
✨ Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing — and consider upgrading to paid to access all the good stuff for just $5/month. Your future self will thank you.
Asking ChatGPT “Where should I move abroad?” feels like a genius shortcut — until it spits out the same 10 cities you’ve already seen in every listicle.
It can tell you where the Wi-Fi’s fast and the rent’s cheap.
But it can’t tell you what you need — not really.
It doesn’t know you’re in a season of reinvention. Or grief. Or that your idea of “affordable” includes emotional stability and a good oat flat white.
Because the real answers?
They don’t come from a chatbot.
They come from you.
This playbook is how you draw them out.
This is where you start.
🧳 Meet the Dream Locale Decoder Playbook
The newest addition to the Dream Life Abroad Starter Kit — and the missing piece between I took the quiz and got “Island Soul” and I’m booking one-way flights with confidence.
This isn’t a checklist.
It’s not a generic list of “affordable expat hotspots” that may or may not vibe with your nervous system.
It’s a soulful, practical, zero-fluff tool that helps you figure out where in the world you’re meant to be next — based on who you actually are right now.
Inside, you’ll find:
✅ A deeper dive into your Destination Personality (and how to use it well)
✅ A guide to filtering our Living Abroad Locales Database with both intuition and strategy
✅ A “Dealbreaker Radar” for each type (because Island Souls and visa chaos don’t mix)
✅ The Soul Test: 10 gentle-but-jolting questions that get right to the heart of it
✅ A Letter from Your Future Self (yes, really — and yes, it works)
✅ Space to shortlist your Top 3 dream locales, plus one wildcard you can’t stop thinking about
Who it’s for:
You want to move abroad but have way too many tabs open
You’ve taken the quiz and want to make sense of your results
You’ve never taken the quiz but like the idea of moving with more clarity
You’re already abroad and wondering… is this the place, or just a placeholder?
The full playbook is live now for paid subscribers, and it’s part of the growing Dream Life Abroad Starter Kit — your all-in-one, emotionally intelligent guide to building a life you don’t want to escape from.
You can preview the first section for free.
Then, if it speaks to you (and I think it will), you’ll unlock the rest when you subscribe.
