Dreaming of a life beyond US borders? Yearning for adventure, a lower cost of living, or a fresh start in a new culture? You're not alone! But turning that dream into a reality can feel overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

That's where the L.E.V.E.L. U.P.™ Method comes in. It's not just a relocation checklist; it's a holistic framework designed to help you go from simply dreaming about moving abroad to actually living your best life in a new destination. And, as with all our coaching, relocation is personalized guidance based on your unique goals, budget, and lifestyle.

What is the L.E.V.E.L. U.P.™ Method?

The L.E.V.E.L. U.P.™ Method is more than just a relocation strategy; it’s a mindset shift. This 7-step method helps Americans go from dreaming about moving abroad to creating a step-by-step plan to their elevated life in a new destination.

Think of it as a personalized journey of self-discovery, strategic planning, and empowered action. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about crafting a relocation plan that's perfectly tailored to you and your family.


The 7 Steps to Your Elevated Life Abroad

L - Look Within: Clarify Your "Why"

This is the foundation of your entire journey. What truly motivates you to move abroad? What are your core values, needs, and desires?

E - Evaluate Your Reality: Assess Your Current Situation

Take a realistic look at your current lifestyle, finances, commitments, and resources. What are your assets and liabilities? What skills and experiences can you leverage? What challenges will you need to overcome? This step provides a realistic foundation for your plan.

We'll also assess your debt, evaluate your income options, and identify potential obstacles.

V - Visualize Your Life Abroad: Define Your Dream

You'll also receive tips on navigating cultural differences and preparing for the emotional challenges of moving.


U - Upgrade Your Lifestyle: Build Stability and Joy

Once you've arrived, it's time to build a stable and fulfilling life in your new environment. This includes finding long-term housing, navigating your business/digital career(if applicable), building a social network, and integrating into the local community.
