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":"2026-07-20T08:19:42.916786+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003"},"episode":{"title":"Proof of Funds Explained: What Counts and How to Plan for It (Without Spiraling)","slug":"proof-of-funds-explained-what-counts-and-how-to-plan-for-it-without-spiraling","published_at":"2026-02-02T10:34:05+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/proof-of-funds-explained-what-counts-and-how-to-plan-for-it-without-spiraling","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003","url":"https://howtomoveabroad.alitu.com/episode/f9c24c30-469c-4d2c-9c3e-164074209d46","audio_url":"https://feeds.alitu.com/5372784/f9c24c30-469c-4d2c-9c3e-164074209d46.mp3?t=1770028446000","summary":"Proof of funds isn’t a personal attack... it’s a stability check. In this episode, I explain what proof of funds actually means in plain English, what typically counts as “proof” (income, savings, self-employment, combinations, and sometimes insurance), why the requirements change depending on your visa lane, and how to make a plan if you don’t meet the requirement yet, without turning it into a crisis.
