#84 Scared to Move Abroad? Unpacking the Fears Lurking in Your Suitcase 👻

Ever feel like moving abroad is stirring up more monsters than excitement? In today’s special Halloween episode, we’re dusting off those “under-the-bed” fears, shedding some light on the scariest "what-ifs" around moving abroad, and arming you with the truth to face them head-on. I asked my Instagram community to share their biggest fears about moving abroad, and today, we’re tackling the most bone-chilling responses, including: "What if I don’t make friends and end up feeling completely isolated?" "What if I lose my job or burn through my savings?!" "What if I struggle with the language and feel like I don’t fit in?" "Can I really leave my family behind without feeling haunted by guilt?" Join me as we unpack these anxieties with a healthy dose of humor, some personal tales from my own adventures, and practical advice for turning these creepy concerns into manageable steps. 🎃 Spoiler alert: these fears might look big and spooky, but they're easier to handle than they seem.
