Day 1: Diving Into Europe – Portugal, Italy, France, Spain, Malta, Cyprus, Greece

Dear 40 Days To Your New Life In Europe Student,

Perhaps you joined this course knowing without a doubt that you had your heart set on moving to Spain, for example…

If that’s the case, congratulations… you’ve got less homework to do than others.

Perhaps you were considering both Spain and Portugal and were curious to compare the two…

If you have a couple or even a handful of destinations in mind, well done, that’s half the battle.

Maybe you had no idea which country in particular might appeal to you… you just knew Europe was the starting point…

Not to worry. If you fall into this last category, you do have some additional work to do… but it should be some of the most fun you’ve ever had doing homework. The key here is knowing yourself (more on this in a minute). And then knowing the place that you’re considering (more on that over the coming 40 days).

Wherever you are in the process of narrowing down your choices, we urge you not to get too set on one idea as you move through this course. Remember, these ideas are infinitely customizable.

You might decide that a full-time move to just one country is too limiting—that’s fine, you can always rotate your time between as many havens as you like.

Or maybe, as you learn more about the administration over the coming days, you’ll realize that you’re not prepared for a full-time move at all—no problem, why not try out your dream destination for just a few months a year?

Perhaps, working your way through the lesson on purchasing property overseas, the idea of buying something for investment begins to appeal—great, that means you can earn some passive income while making your move-to-Europe dreams come true.

On the other hand, maybe the liberating idea of staying a renter in the long-term is more your speed. A property can be an anchor, after all, and maybe you have a more flexible idea of your life in Europe.

There’s no wrong way to expat… how you decide to set your plan in motion will be tailored exactly to your lifestyle.
