If you’re going to be in northern Europe in December, you need to be prepared for the darkness. Every day gets darker than the last, and by early December, you’ll find yourself wondering just how bleak it can get.

But that’s where the Christmas lights come in. And the markets. And everything becomes a little more bearable.

Do You Want to Move Abroad in 2025?

I know a lot of you have considered living outside the United States. Maybe it’s something you’d do “someday” — and someday hasn’t arrived yet. Maybe your job, your kids, or your pets kept you from thinking it was a possibility for you.

This month, my friend Richelle is opening up the Move Abroad Escape Plan Boot Camp, a four-day event from January 25-28, where Richelle helps you figure out a specific plan to move abroad.

In four days, she helps you figure out what kind of lifestyle you want, how you’ll make money, which country to focus on — and a DATE. And yes — even if you have kids. Even if you have pets, a partner, a condition that requires medication, a career you love. There’s a plan that will work for you personally.

Richelle is very good at what she does, and she’s helped quite a few people move overseas already, as you can see from her many testimonials.

This four-day boot camp only costs $37 — which I think is outstanding value for money. You can learn more about it here.

Highlights

(That doesn’t mean I didn’t wash it at all! I washed it twice — on day 11 and day 24.)

Wool& does 30-day dress challenges — if you wear the dress 30 days in a row and take a photo each day, you’ll get $30 or 30 EUR. (They also have a…
