I’m Mistelle. I’ve moved abroad three times, I don’t have a magic second passport, and I’m not here to sell you a fantasy life on a cobblestone street. We’re talking the stuff that actually decides whether you can move: visas, budgets, timelines, jobs, kids, healthcare, paperwork, and the emotional chaos that shows up the second you try to do this with a partner (or a bank account that’s already tired). If you’ve been doom-googling, panic-saving Reels, and ending every research session with “well… that was horrifying,” you’re in the right place. Because moving abroad isn’t a vibe. It’s a project. And I’m here to help you build a plan that works in your real life.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-21T08:17:41.333328+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003"},"episode":{"title":"Just because you CAN get by in English doesn't mean you should...","slug":"just-because-you-can-get-by-in-english-doesn-t-mean-you-should","published_at":"2026-08-24T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/just-because-you-can-get-by-in-english-doesn-t-mean-you-should","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003","url":"https://howtomoveabroad.alitu.com/episode/c3078beb-9892-47e3-b812-0c7295ad3c7d","audio_url":"https://feeds.alitu.com/5372784/c3078beb-9892-47e3-b812-0c7295ad3c7d.mp3?t=1787544001000","summary":"When I moved to Switzerland I didn't speak German. And I was fine. I worked for a global company, English was the working language, I could do my job completely competently without it. And then I moved to Vienna. And I had a direct report who didn't feel comfortable speaking English. And suddenly I had to manage someone... in German. And that changed everything about how I learned. This week I'm talking about the language barrier and your career abroad. The three levels of language need and which one applies to you. Why Foreign Fridays at the office moved the needle in a way Duolingo never did. And why getting by in English is not the same as being able to actually grow in a country where the real conversations happen in another language.","meta_description":"When I moved to Switzerland I didn't speak German.
