That rhetoric is so uniquely U.S. American. The rest of the Americas are semi-nomadic. They travel for work, school, and family. This is one of the reasons why the EU even exist: for free but documented travel! Spain doesny have a large automotive manufacturing market. So why not relocate to Germany and work for BMW. The US: land is too expensive, racial issues, and food is trash. Guatemala: US$1k per acre, filled w/black folks, its not illegal to collect rain and grow your own food. No brainer really...
Yes my teacher at my med school made snide remarks about me “running away” from certain things and how I want things easy. She is in her 60s and I honestly just blocked her recently. How I handle life is none of anyone’s business and I’m not weak for choosing peace and purpose over pettiness/stress/toxicity. Stress is horrible on the body, especially as women.
I left the US AT 73 years of age and have not looked back. Before I left, I did my homework visited 20 countries including Mexico. Now living in Mazatlán, Mexico.
Its time. Other countries are simply better. As long as you have a laptop, wifi, and a business idea you can get multiple streams of income to live well.
@@angelam.5508 Yes, girl. I see what is about to come to America and I don't like it at all. I am trying to get out of here as soon as possible and never look or return.

Black women are not safe here in America. It's time for us to find a place where people are more educated, more open-minded, and the men are nicer, and the air and water, and food are fresher. Finland has the best drinking water on earth because of the glaciers. The Netherlands is great too because of the quality of life. Italy and France block all GMO foods from America. I mean anywhere is better than the US.
Saw a video of a couple who moved to Tanzania. They said it took 8 mos to detox America. There were days they didn’t feel like leaving the house. The stress of living in US was so great. Like a junkie in rehab. Sad what western unCivilization has done to us. If nothing else a move would be for mental health reason and solutions. Get away from the toxins we’ve ingested spiritually, mentally & physically, FrankenFoods, polluted air, poison water, unhoused people, disrespect, etc.
@Insightfultravelz look the examples of how that turns out. Look at mexico, Puerto Rico, africa, Ukraine Honduras Columbia etc. All all basically 3rd world, nothing is fixed. And if you think your going to another land the natives are starving while you eat, and nothing is going to happen to you, your foolish. The kidnapping rate is high in this places and soon it will be like that for all the immigrants coming into our land by the droves. We are already delineating from immigrants. Do what you have to, just know what it's comes with.
It was definitely on my mind to not be here next year before the election, if even just for a vacation. The decline in America is mind boggling and depressing.
I was above talking big trash. Election is 2024, not this year, then? Things are worsening here for Black women, and every November is starting to look crazy to me. I'm losing track of which one to be nervous about! 😟
Your video's have encouraged me and my two adult children to leave the US last year in May 2022. We are living a Nomadic lifestyle and loving it. Thanks to you Stephanie! It's a great thing that you are doing.
She Really Is! While I Made My “Move Abroad”...More a Nomadic Lifestyle...Before Discovering Stephanie, I’ve Recommended Stephanie YT Videos To Several People. I, Too, Believe She’s Fantastic; Very Interesting & Engaging...Not To Mention Informative & Enlightening!❣️
My lease is up in June 2024 and I'm strongly considering bopping around the globe for at least a year. My reason is I'm just bored. Ready to do something different instead of the same-o-same here in the US. I'm an early 50s adventurer with a high tolerance for risk. I'm single (by choice) with adult children. Also, self-employed (left the rat race in 2012). Therefore, nothing is stopping me.
I love this video, Stephanie. You've already heard me say, I've never felt connected to the U.S, and it was the ExodUS Summit community that fueled me to expedite my move abroad. I'm so happy to report we've relocated to Mexico and our quality of life has already increased. Thank you and Shida and my vision and God's will. I've shared the video 2x and Black Women, leave, please. The US doesn't deserve us. Also, we've just renewed our residency here and we're good until it's time to apply for permanent.
I predicted this over two years ago. It's time for a major exodus of black women to leave the US. Many of us have already gotten our US Passports over the last few weeks and some already have had them for a while. The world is waiting for us black ladies to explore and the world is fully open to us like never before. Now is the time for us black women to travel, learn as much as we can about foreign languages, and foreign politics, seek out how to start businesses overseas, and look at the real estate market overseas. Many black women have already moved to places like Australia, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, Finland, Spain, and France.
Girl you’re so on point! I just expatriated to the Netherlands and I love it! Sure it rains a lot and will be cold but I don’t mind. I’m in a safe ad very friendly city and have been quite fortunate as I’ve come very far since moving in May this year. I hope all of us with the means and will get out asap. I’m swing awful things going on there.
Everyone is talking about black women leaving the US. What about black men? No mention of them. I've been reading all these comments about African Americans moving to different parts of Europe, but what they don't realize is, racism is everywhere, so you can't run away from it. Racism is deeply rooted in the US due to slavery and it's not going to get better until white America comes to terms with the brutal and violent history that is not going going away. Europe has its own problems as well, so don't get caught up thinking they accept and embrace you.
@@angelam.5508My daughter and I plan to visit the Netherlands next September. Do you have any suggestions on places to visit and possibly a place to see for the long term?
Stephanie you already know, but for the people in the back....Stephanie and crew got me right and I've been on sabbatical since 4/16/2022. My next move is out of Amurdica. I will be at Exodus Summit 2023 and attended 2022 (after my six-week trip to MX). I'm here for all this motivation and inspiration. As soon as I can get them coins stacked back up in my bank account...I'm out...running from and to at full speed.
Great video as usual Stephanie🥰 Many of my black female friends are gone and have moved overseas. I have black female friends in Holland, Denmark and Norway. Black women all over the US are getting the message and we are leaving in droves. ✈🌍
My black female friends are lame and only care about males. They aren’t even thinking ahead of what’s to come. I’m on my own. Probably a good thing to find like minded women who actually succeed on their goals by leaving America.
@@StephaniePerry I’m going to exit is Summit with the all access pass. I’m not on the group in Facebook because I’m just scared of FB/Insta I don’t know why? it’s not like they don’t know everything anyway 😂 thank you for all you do Stephanie you definitely bring peace to my soul❤
I was in Costa Rica last month. I went to Puerto Viejo, Limón and San Jose alone. I drove the 3-4 hours from Sj to Limón on Ruta 32 😅alone. Costa Ricans are beautiful and kind. I would move to CR over Colombia any day. Some reason why, the weather is magnificent, less crime, I didn’t see a high traffic of prostitution o and the food is amazing. Just know the people in Coast Rica are kind, helpful, no micro aggressions and very very beautiful.. So far CR is my favorite latin country😊
I’m a black woman from Colombia and I have visited Costa Rica too. Both countries are great options to move to if you make your income in USD or Euros. The US is to make money, but the quality of life and social support you can get them in both of these countries.
I just got back from living in Spain for two years. I was expecting to go back next week but after coming home for the summer and being the age I am, I’m ready to establish myself financially and then leave again- give it a few years, save up, etc. but the thing about leaving is my family. I have a sister with a daughter who has severe special needs and so she can’t just get up and go and also our mom .. being away of course I felt safer and happier but guilty that I got to leave and they couldn’t. It made it hrs for me to fully embrace living abroad
I don't live in fear Stephanie and I stopped voting back in 1980. I have no need to watch this video. In 1999, I went to Central America and I have residency already............ Back from my gymnastics class this morning, trampoline bars cartwheels and tumbling age 70 physically fit, child FREE
@@Catscratch241 thanks for your kind words. It's been a long day and I am going to bed early on the houseboat. My life has been a journey, since I was a teenager. I am an only child too. Tomorrow I go to the gym spinning class lifting weights across town. The entire world 🌎 is quite dangerous now............... Stay safe
I've literally been having calls about this issue with black women for almost a year! Folks are getting super strategic about securing residency abroad in advance of next year's elections.
I move to South Africa in two weeks and I can’t wait! Your channel really helped me go after my dream to live abroad. I started listening to your channel in January and never looked back!
I'm sorry @myzzkim88 I just removed the idiot who was trolling you. I hope you enjoy South Africa! Maybe we'll get to meet up while I'm in Cape Town in February. 💗
@@StephaniePerry thank you Stephanie!! I appreciate it. And yes! Meeting up in Cape Town would be great! I’m going to make a post about my move in the fb group too 😊
285 wow!!! 🎉🎉🎉You are so inspiring✨⭐️✨ For me the desire to run and leave it all behind is like baby fever. Each time I let the desire rest it comes back with a vengeance. I am working on myself so that I can change my mindset and hopefully experience positive changes in my life needed to make this happen.
Im fine witht he next election. The men in my racial group is who im running from. I like Costa Rica but their heat is sometimes worse than Texas. Beautiful and peaceful though.
A true Sister indeed!! I am sharing with my girlfriends because this information is so educational and so important for our future as black women. I remember a time when we would not even dare to dream to live overseas but now we're not afraid anymore. Thank you for all your help please keep it coming.
My husband and I have been having this discussion for at least the last couple years. Our son is 3 and that is a big deciding factor. We have recently decided to leave the US and are trying to decide where the next place is. Highly considering CR, we loved our extended visit and seems like a good fit. Thank you for your page and detailed content! New sub ❤😊
😂 LMAO hi Stephanie it’s Le’Shaun I was just having this conversation with a friend the other day. I finally left I’ve been living in Merida Mexico now so I am part of the Black Women Expat Community now. 😉 I put my Tiny house on the market because I had ta’GO!!! I’m ready for my interview when you are. So glad I got outta there the election is gonna be a sh!t show 😒
It's interesting to see some of the comments encouraging black women to prioritize voting in the US election. Nothing wrong with voting, but if you're tied to the idea that any one election is going to make the US a much better place to live for black women in the near future, you're not ready for Stephanie's message. You should stay in the US and just take more vacations elsewhere.
I originally prioritized being debt free before moving abroad- I’m currently on track for one more year, but I’m considering leaving sooner & will be tuning in for tips on traveling abroad while on a debt free journey
Hi Stephanie. I want to make the move in 2024. I want find a country where my savings is enough to qualify for a visa. I want a one year break without the pressure of making income to just "BE".
You know I’ve listen to you for over a year and half. I just love your energy and love of life. I’ve been to East Africa twice and Rwanda 🇷🇼 is what I felt in love with. I did work there as a student and I know I want to live there where I can leave this Western state of mind behind. 🙌🏾Thank you for your love and support🙌🏾
This topic and the issues with America you raise - rampant violence, bigotry, political messiness, high cost of living - are the very reasons why I’ll be spending more time abroad than in the US. I haven’t relinquished my American citizenship but have chosen to reside in Israel where I have family and friends. I also look forward to traveling back to south Eastern Africa - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya, South Africa in early 2024 for a change of pace from Israel and to take in African culture. Yes I recognize that America offers a good many amenities - jobs, decent housing, decent grocery stores, great public transportation and schools, but other countries offer those same amenities.
I appreciate this!! I am thinking about leaving the USA. Born and raised in NYC/HARLEM. Served my country… to have hypocrites say: thank you for serving! I AM DONE!! As a woman with MELANIN, I now understand what we went through before the 60’s!! Letting go of all bondage!!
I've been following you since close to the beginning of your channel and I've always loved your mindset and willingness to help other women find their path. I may not be a part of your target audience (I'm 28 and still trying to "find" my career), but I definitely hear you and want to be like you (and the other women you've featured on your channel) when I grow up! Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to travel the world and live outside of the U.S. I've always known that America wouldn't be my forever home. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the chance to venture out yet. But I plan on it very soon! I want to teach English in other countries. I plan on moving before 30. So, I'm getting things ready for my departure. I have a strong feeling that my life will be so much better when I leave. I'm tired of old white men telling us what to do with our bodies, struggling to get healthcare, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and looking over my shoulder all the time. Just the other day at work I had to take over the store cashier at my job, (which is right in front of the front door), I found myself putting together a plan in my head in case someone with a gun were to walk in. No one should have to live like that, but that's the unfortunate reality we live with in America.
@evette2395 Please have a safety plan in place because I would have never thought my life would be in danger because some dummy had a gun fully loaded in his backpack.
Thank you for this video Stephanie. The USA is indeed a dangerous place and we will be hard pressed to get the reparations that many of us are fighting for. Every time I tune in to your channel, I feel like I will become a nomad very soon. I was at Exodus Summit last year, a first timer. It's very exciting. Anything can happen!
Hi Stephanie! Only 26 min?😏 Your vids are so helpful because I'm moving closer and closer to taking a sabbatical with your tips. Cant wait for the next live.🥰
Great video❣️ I know for sure if those who are in the “healthcare industry” places like United Healthcare, Aetna and Bluecross etc…majority of those jobs been overseas all over there for decades now out of America. It has always been a hush 🤫 about it that many weren’t aware of.
Stephanie, they're gonna have to send my reparations to Costa Rica too. I just arrived back here again a week ago and I am not leaving! I'm working with immigration lawyers and with the bank to get all things paperwork situated and submitted for my temporary residency. Today I am going to look at a few rental properties so that I can stop paying these Airbnb prices. We also bought a car and picked it up yesterday. Things are happening and your channel has helped me so much. Just knowing that there are other black women out there who feel like the US is not serving them is so important. It is also important for us to know what we have more than just two choices of staying in the US or going "back to Africa". The whole world is available to us!
@@lovers8811 I haven't begun that search just yet. LOL Brought several things on the plane for my daughter to use. Sooner or later we will have to venture out and what's to be had, but not yet!
@@preciousaryee2901 I don't know if Tamarindo is the only place that you've been, but if so, I would recommend going to check out the La Fortuna area. Of course, the famous waterfall is there, but more than that, it has great weather and the hot springs are very nice.
I originally wanted to go to La Fortuna but the group I was traveling with wanted to be closer to the Liberia airport. I will definitely return sooner than later. I plan on flying in to San José and going to Limon and Puerto Viejo. However, I would also like to go to a few places. I hope your journey is everything you expect and more. You're absolutely right! The world is such an amazing and beautiful place to explore. Man, I wish I was back in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 😢 I just got back home to LA on Monday so I have some post vacay blues. It was peaceful and serene there. Gotta make a plan! Pura Vida!
Stephanie I would also like to bring up the BRICS alliance, which is predicted to further weaken the U.S. dollar. There are 11 countries now, representing 50 percent of the world’s population. It is something I think should concern those planning their budget to move abroad.
Love this. Stephanie you are such an inspiration. Thanks for being one of the reasons I started my digital nomad journey. I am returning to the states for a year to prepare for my move to Portugal. Even a year back home seems scary! I can do a year as I really get my things in order for the move.
Thank you Stephanie, it’s been a while. Loving the content as always and can’t wait to make my move aboard. Waiting on the next video ❤❤❤ Great information and advice for my journey aboard
You are so right on this topic. I am a member of International Living. There are many members who attend conferences in different countries. We are in Denver, CO at this moment where a Bootcamp Conference is taking place.
I love the way you break things down and make leaving palatable. I think all too often we make our lives a lot harder than they have to be; but you help with the ease. Thank you!!💕
NO LIES DETECTED (To Quote Twitter Language)Stephanie! I’ve Been Leading a Fantastic Nomadic Life For Several Years Now...With Fabulous Portugal As My Amazing Base Country! I’m Loving It!💙 Thanks For The Video. Have a Beautiful Day, Stephanie.🌹
Great video Stephanie! We have already started the process of moving abroad and hope to be out before the end of the year. We are currently on the last day of a two month sabbatical in Italy. Thank you for giving us the confidence to make our move.
You ALWAYS give helpful information. Finance and my high school children are a challenge for me, not sure what steps to take to begin my nomad journey and still support my children.thank you so much for being here you are truly a blessing ❤🙏🏽
What scares me most about moving abroad is growing old and needing assistance, especially if I’m not fluent in the language. I would love it if you could speak about this. I know a lot folks are retiring in some of these countries but are also married. I will be moving, in the coming years, with my sister (we’re looking at Mexico) and I worry about this.
I've been having more conversations with my daughters about plans to leave this country. I'll be attending the online summit. The dates are perfect because I'll be attending a retreat October 3-5, so this couldn't have worked out better!
Oh my God, I'm so so grateful for this video. I've been talking about moving to Costa Rica for years. You touched on so many of the very reasons I've wanted to move there. You make me so excited about my decision and I can't wait until I can. I have a 15 year old that doesn't want to leave. And I'm with you, I don't see the reparations coming either. Oh... how hard is it to bring my existing business in the US to Costa Rica? Thanks
It's time to take action and relocate, not because of the election per se, but because of the decline and decadence we are experiencing daily. It's time. Start making moves, put a plan in place, and take action.
GREAT video! my main concern would be how to make the money and also my teen kids adjusting (Im actually a remote pharmacist and would love to stay remote, however the pay is not as much as regular rph job pay , so its not making ends meet in the U.S but it probably would somewhere else!)
You just gave me an idea, to spend the winter of 2023 somewhere else. As an "off the grid gal", I can be anywhere at anytime. Ty. Secure my RV where it is and go to Mexico or Ecuador of the winter. I have a senior friend already living in Ecuador now. Love ya short video 💯✈️🌿😎 Question, I got off FB 2 years ago,no IG, is there another way to connect with our seasoned community?
I love your pushback to the "running away" argument...no one gets extra points in life for suffering the most!
This comment is a whole 🔥 vibe!! Thank you!! 🎉 🎊
Absolutely! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

It made it hrs for me to fully embrace living abroad
Survivor’s guilt for BW is serious
someone has to live to tell the tale...save yourself. Help them if you can but save yourself always.
Wow! How was Spain? What city? I always wanted to go there.
My kiddos and I will be cutting it close but we will be moving abroad July 2024🙌🏽✨
I don't live in fear Stephanie and I stopped voting back in 1980. I have no need to watch this video. In 1999, I went to Central America and I have residency already............ Back from my gymnastics class this morning, trampoline bars cartwheels and tumbling age 70 physically fit, child FREE
I aspire to be like you!!! Keep it up💗💗love that you’re living life at your best
@@Catscratch241 thanks for your kind words. It's been a long day and I am going to bed early on the houseboat. My life has been a journey, since I was a teenager. I am an only child too. Tomorrow I go to the gym spinning class lifting weights across town. The entire world 🌎 is quite dangerous now............... Stay safe
I've literally been having calls about this issue with black women for almost a year! Folks are getting super strategic about securing residency abroad in advance of next year's elections.
I move to South Africa in two weeks and I can’t wait! Your channel really helped me go after my dream to live abroad. I started listening to your channel in January and never looked back!
I'm sorry @myzzkim88 I just removed the idiot who was trolling you. I hope you enjoy South Africa! Maybe we'll get to meet up while I'm in Cape Town in February. 💗
And to the trolls..if you have anything ignorant to say to me…don’t bother
@@StephaniePerry thank you Stephanie!! I appreciate it. And yes! Meeting up in Cape Town would be great! I’m going to make a post about my move in the fb group too 😊
Oh my ladies share info about South Africa please. I need to get out of us. Thanks in advance. Thank God for this channel. I’m so hopeful now!
Lol literally on my way out, I’m moving to the Canary Islands this winter :)
285 wow!!! 🎉🎉🎉You are so inspiring✨⭐️✨
For me the desire to run and leave it all behind is like baby fever. Each time I let the desire rest it comes back with a vengeance. I am working on myself so that I can change my mindset and hopefully experience positive changes in my life needed to make this happen.
I hope you can make it happen too. Some desires don't go away because they're meant for us. 💗
@@StephaniePerrysay it louder for the Black women in the back 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Im fine witht he next election. The men in my racial group is who im running from. I like Costa Rica but their heat is sometimes worse than Texas. Beautiful and peaceful though.
A true Sister indeed!! I am sharing with my girlfriends because this information is so educational and so important for our future as black women. I remember a time when we would not even dare to dream to live overseas but now we're not afraid anymore. Thank you for all your help please keep it coming.
My husband and I have been having this discussion for at least the last couple years. Our son is 3 and that is a big deciding factor.
We have recently decided to leave the US and are trying to decide where the next place is. Highly considering CR, we loved our extended visit and seems like a good fit. Thank you for your page and detailed content! New sub ❤😊
I will keep being part of the Exodus community even if I can't move because the ex won't agree. If I had my way, my son and I would be gone.
😢Dang! Keep fighting that in court. Don’t give up!!!
😂 LMAO hi Stephanie it’s Le’Shaun I was just having this conversation with a friend the other day. I finally left I’ve been living in Merida Mexico now so I am part of the Black Women Expat Community now. 😉 I put my Tiny house on the market because I had ta’GO!!! I’m ready for my interview when you are. So glad I got outta there the election is gonna be a sh!t show 😒
But we should still vote.
Love this! Big fan and follower. Sisters, please remember to vote here in the US as we run to our greater! 🥰🙏🏽🙌🏽
It's interesting to see some of the comments encouraging black women to prioritize voting in the US election. Nothing wrong with voting, but if you're tied to the idea that any one election is going to make the US a much better place to live for black women in the near future, you're not ready for Stephanie's message. You should stay in the US and just take more vacations elsewhere.
I originally prioritized being debt free before moving abroad- I’m currently on track for one more year, but I’m considering leaving sooner & will be tuning in for tips on traveling abroad while on a debt free journey
I definitely don't see myself retiring in this country as a black woman.
I wouldn’t want that for myself. I deserve better than that! 😂
Hi Stephanie. I want to make the move in 2024. I want find a country where my savings is enough to qualify for a visa. I want a one year break without the pressure of making income to just "BE".
You know I’ve listen to you for over a year and half.
I just love your energy and love of life.
I’ve been to East Africa twice and Rwanda 🇷🇼 is what I felt in love with.
I did work there as a student and I know I want to live there where I can leave this Western state of mind behind.
🙌🏾Thank you for your love and support🙌🏾
I have a couple of friends who LOVE Rwanda. I hope you get to move back there. 💗
This topic and the issues with America you raise - rampant violence, bigotry, political messiness, high cost of living - are the very reasons why I’ll be spending more time abroad than in the US. I haven’t relinquished my American citizenship but have chosen to reside in Israel where I have family and friends. I also look forward to traveling back to south Eastern Africa - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya, South Africa in early 2024 for a change of pace from Israel and to take in African culture. Yes I recognize that America offers a good many amenities - jobs, decent housing, decent grocery stores, great public transportation and schools, but other countries offer those same amenities.
Thanks for information
I appreciate this!!
I am thinking about leaving the USA. Born and raised in NYC/HARLEM. Served my country… to have hypocrites say: thank you for serving! I AM DONE!! As a woman with MELANIN, I now understand what we went through before the 60’s!! Letting go of all bondage!!
I've been following you since close to the beginning of your channel and I've always loved your mindset and willingness to help other women find their path. I may not be a part of your target audience (I'm 28 and still trying to "find" my career), but I definitely hear you and want to be like you (and the other women you've featured on your channel) when I grow up! Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to travel the world and live outside of the U.S. I've always known that America wouldn't be my forever home. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the chance to venture out yet. But I plan on it very soon! I want to teach English in other countries. I plan on moving before 30. So, I'm getting things ready for my departure. I have a strong feeling that my life will be so much better when I leave. I'm tired of old white men telling us what to do with our bodies, struggling to get healthcare, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and looking over my shoulder all the time. Just the other day at work I had to take over the store cashier at my job, (which is right in front of the front door), I found myself putting together a plan in my head in case someone with a gun were to walk in. No one should have to live like that, but that's the unfortunate reality we live with in America.
@evette2395 Please have a safety plan in place because I would have never thought my life would be in danger because some dummy had a gun fully loaded in his backpack.
I taught esl in communist Vietnam & felt safer there than I do in the US. People really do not understand how fascist the US really is.
Thank you for this video Stephanie. The USA is indeed a dangerous place and we will be hard pressed to get the reparations that many of us are fighting for. Every time I tune in to your channel, I feel like I will become a nomad very soon. I was at Exodus Summit last year, a first timer. It's very exciting. Anything can happen!
Hi Stephanie! Only 26 min?😏 Your vids are so helpful because I'm moving closer and closer to taking a sabbatical with your tips. Cant wait for the next live.🥰
😆 I was rushing. 💨 Oh wonderful! I'm so glad you're working on your sabbatical. Keep making progress!! 💗
@@StephaniePerry Thanks per usual.
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 💗
Great video❣️ I know for sure if those who are in the “healthcare industry” places like United Healthcare, Aetna and Bluecross etc…majority of those jobs been overseas all over there for decades now out of America. It has always been a hush 🤫 about it that many weren’t aware of.
Stephanie, they're gonna have to send my reparations to Costa Rica too. I just arrived back here again a week ago and I am not leaving!
I'm working with immigration lawyers and with the bank to get all things paperwork situated and submitted for my temporary residency. Today I am going to look at a few rental properties so that I can stop paying these Airbnb prices. We also bought a car and picked it up yesterday.
Things are happening and your channel has helped me so much. Just knowing that there are other black women out there who feel like the US is not serving them is so important. It is also important for us to know what we have more than just two choices of staying in the US or going "back to Africa". The whole world is available to us!
Another black woman in costa rica!! Yeah!! If you are near San jose and know where to get black hair products besides Miami cosmetics pls let me know!
@@lovers8811 I haven't begun that search just yet. LOL Brought several things on the plane for my daughter to use. Sooner or later we will have to venture out and what's to be had, but not yet!
Was just in Tamarindo, Costa Rica and I am ready to go back. It's a beautiful place!
@@preciousaryee2901 I don't know if Tamarindo is the only place that you've been, but if so, I would recommend going to check out the La Fortuna area. Of course, the famous waterfall is there, but more than that, it has great weather and the hot springs are very nice.
I originally wanted to go to La Fortuna but the group I was traveling with wanted to be closer to the Liberia airport. I will definitely return sooner than later. I plan on flying in to San José and going to Limon and Puerto Viejo. However, I would also like to go to a few places. I hope your journey is everything you expect and more. You're absolutely right! The world is such an amazing and beautiful place to explore. Man, I wish I was back in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 😢 I just got back home to LA on Monday so I have some post vacay blues. It was peaceful and serene there. Gotta make a plan! Pura Vida!
Ahhhh😂😂 I was at this restaurant and nearly fell out my seat. I live!!!! That's the word. Hey steph it's Sage from the Miami linkup/meetup.
Hey Sage!!👋🏾 I hope you're doing great! Hold on to your seat. 😆
Honestly your so spot on with moving before this election. That's why we got 3 tickets to the capetown meet-up...lol she ready 🎉
Stephanie I would also like to bring up the BRICS alliance, which is predicted to further weaken the U.S. dollar. There are 11 countries now, representing 50 percent of the world’s population. It is something I think should concern those planning their budget to move abroad.
Yes yes yes! What will happen if you live abroad and that country dump the US dollar???
Thank You Stephanie
Yes Indeed
I wish I honestly could get the hell out of America sooner rather than later
Wonderful, very helpful video, Stephanie! Thank you!💖
Thank you so much-needed advise😊.
❤❤❤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💕💕💕Hi Stephanie!!! I love the topic!!!
This was very helpful. Look forward to going to the event in October.
Didnt expect this video.. fa sho watching on my list tonight lol Thank you Queen of Ease
Thank you soo much for this video omg very informative. ❤
I love your headwrap!!
Thank you for making these videos! They’re really helpful and informative.
Love this. Stephanie you are such an inspiration. Thanks for being one of the reasons I started my digital nomad journey. I am returning to the states for a year to prepare for my move to Portugal. Even a year back home seems scary! I can do a year as I really get my things in order for the move.
Hi @Stephanie Glad your comments are BACK! I was on a few videos and wanted to leave a comment and I couldn't. Glad it's back!
Thank you Stephanie, it’s been a while. Loving the content as always and can’t wait to make my move aboard. Waiting on the next video ❤❤❤ Great information and advice for my journey aboard
This was amazing! I will be registering for the conference!
This was SUCH a great video! We will be at the Summit.❤🎉 congrats on your success and thank you for THIS SPACE.
I like the title Ms Stephanie. I have online all access passes: to Exodus Summit in Oct 2023 and all access Move to Portugal, Nov 2023.
You are so right on this topic. I am a member of International Living. There are many members who attend conferences in different countries. We are in Denver, CO at this moment where a Bootcamp Conference is taking place.
Maaan ur right on time!
I love the way you break things down and make leaving palatable. I think all too often we make our lives a lot harder than they have to be; but you help with the ease. Thank you!!💕
One concern is not having a partner on board with the idea of living abroad.
that is so true
Agreed. It would be much easier. But then again, life is not easy.
Many people are discontented and are learning the ins and outs of living in recommended countries. Thank you for giving thus valuable info!
Wonderful thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤
Yes this is desperately needed
I have 5 children lived in Ghana for 6 months now live in Mexico and my children have their own houses
NO LIES DETECTED (To Quote Twitter Language)Stephanie! I’ve Been Leading a Fantastic Nomadic Life For Several Years Now...With Fabulous Portugal As My Amazing Base Country! I’m Loving It!💙 Thanks For The Video. Have a Beautiful Day, Stephanie.🌹
Great video Stephanie! We have already started the process of moving abroad and hope to be out before the end of the year. We are currently on the last day of a two month sabbatical in Italy. Thank you for giving us the confidence to make our move.
You ALWAYS give helpful information. Finance and my high school children are a challenge for me, not sure what steps to take to begin my nomad journey and still support my children.thank you so much for being here you are truly a blessing ❤🙏🏽
Steph, you look great! Better than ever! Your health is reflecting your super sane choices! I’m on my way to actualizing your words…❤
Good information. I'm more than ready to bop around. I'm in the process of putting a few things together. 2024 looks so good!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you.
True talk Stephanie
What scares me most about moving abroad is growing old and needing assistance, especially if I’m not fluent in the language. I would love it if you could speak about this. I know a lot folks are retiring in some of these countries but are also married. I will be moving, in the coming years, with my sister (we’re looking at Mexico) and I worry about this.
I am 72 and moving🎉 alone to Panama to live on the beach. Your new friends are going to look out for you if you share your concerns.
@@evelyngolden2272when are you moving ? I love this !
You have your sister . You’re not alone
It's a concern.
@@DISH2IMPRESS but she’s 7 yrs older and not in as good health as I am.
Great content.
Congratulations on 285th video Stephanie 🎉🎉
I've been having more conversations with my daughters about plans to leave this country. I'll be attending the online summit. The dates are perfect because I'll be attending a retreat October 3-5, so this couldn't have worked out better!
Oh my God, I'm so so grateful for this video. I've been talking about moving to Costa Rica for years. You touched on so many of the very reasons I've wanted to move there. You make me so excited about my decision and I can't wait until I can. I have a 15 year old that doesn't want to leave. And I'm with you, I don't see the reparations coming either. Oh... how hard is it to bring my existing business in the US to Costa Rica? Thanks
We built it…but not in our image. I’m not attached.
It's time to take action and relocate, not because of the election per se, but because of the decline and decadence we are experiencing daily. It's time. Start making moves, put a plan in place, and take action.
I truly love the 285th celebration of this authentic mind! Congrats Stephanie!❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You are the greatest! 😊
Gratitude!
Hi Stephanie and everyone
Hi Sylvia! 👋🏾
Exactly yup I’m on the same page
Our Rich Journey moved to Portugal with their two school age kids!
I Am Very Interested 😊❤🎉!!
God’s will I will be moving to Africa in December 🤞🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
I have been thinking about it myself
GREAT video! my main concern would be how to make the money and also my teen kids adjusting (Im actually a remote pharmacist and would love to stay remote, however the pay is not as much as regular rph job pay , so its not making ends meet in the U.S but it probably would somewhere else!)
Yep!
This is sooo helpful. I want to move my children abroad but am stuck on how to start.
I need remote work, I can move any where. no kids /unmarried . I just need help in the right direction. thank you
You just gave me an idea, to spend the winter of 2023 somewhere else. As an "off the grid gal", I can be anywhere at anytime. Ty. Secure my RV where it is and go to Mexico or Ecuador of the winter. I have a senior friend already living in Ecuador now. Love ya short video 💯✈️🌿😎
Question, I got off FB 2 years ago,no IG, is there another way to connect with our seasoned community?
I have been preparing. For my Exodus. Family can come but they don't, we can face time.
