LGBTQ+ International Relocation Strategist

I help Queer Folks and their families move, live and thrive abroad.

If you're here, it's probably because there's a tiny voice somewhere deep inside, nudging you to live a totally different life. You dream of living abroad. Or maybe things have just gotten to the point where you see a safer, calmer life for yourself abroad.

If you’re queer, then you know how it feels to be a non-conformist. Just by being our authentic selves, we have lived much of our lives outside the lines. Now is the time to listen to that voice inside your head that says, “There has to be more to life than this.”

Let me tell you something: everyone doesn’t dream of living in another country. Everyone doesn’t open Zillow on every vacation just to peek at local rent prices.

But YOU do. You dream of living a happy, adventurous, fulfilling life abroad, but get caught up in the bills you have to pay, the research left to do, the things keeping you stuck.

Get used to it? Never! You can’t make the dream go away, no matter how hard you try. This is who you are. So let’s do this! You might have questions like:

How do I know where to move?
Where is it safe?
Where can I afford to move?
How does it work to get a visa?
Can I bring my spouse and kids legally?
Do I have to get a job first?
And honestly, where do I even start?

Your next chapter starts right here, right now.

Let’s get strategic about this.

Who am I?

I am a queer expat and destination strategist who spent 15 years riding up and down the rollercoaster of expat life, in wildly different cultures around the world.

I lived in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Germany and England for a decade, and then traveled to 40+ countries over a four-year period of time as a nomadic entrepreneur. Every single minute was worth it - even the hardest of times. More about my journey here.

Now, I’m on a mission to help LGBTQ+ Americans and others follow their call to adventure to live and thrive abroad.

You’ve had to fight to live life on your own terms.
The time is now to follow your call to adventure.

“Jess is kind in her delivery, but she will tell you the truth as she sees it which is a valuable and essential tool in coaching. She is courageous and willing to challenge me on old beliefs that are getting in the way of my progress toward my goals as well as patterns of thought and speech that keep me stuck in relationship dynamics that hold me back. She also gave me step-by-step guidance and instruction in more practical aspects of ex-pat transition that seemed overwhelming to me. She is the real deal!” - Deborah B.
