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":"Schools Abroad: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before We Moved","slug":"schools-abroad-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-before-we-moved","published_at":"2026-04-27T04:02:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/schools-abroad-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-before-we-moved","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003","url":"https://howtomoveabroad.alitu.com/episode/3f8a7a11-7191-42bd-90a9-1130e80be6f9","audio_url":"https://feeds.alitu.com/5372784/3f8a7a11-7191-42bd-90a9-1130e80be6f9.mp3?t=1777262521000","summary":"My daughter has been in schools in two countries across three different systems — a bilingual Swedish-German private school in Vienna, a German-English bilingual private school in Switzerland, and next year the local Swiss public school. Every single one of those decisions was made deliberately, for specific reasons, with real trade-offs. This week I'm talking about what I actually learned navigating school systems abroad — the real cost of international school versus local school, what the Swiss tracking system at grade six means and why it matters more than most expat content will tell you, and the questions you actually need to ask about your destination's school system before you move. Also: what gifted identification in Austria taught us about Swiss education policy, and why we're moving our daughter to local school before sixth grade on purpose.","meta_description":"My daughter has been in schools in two countries across three different systems — a bilingual Swedish-German private school in Vienna, a German-English bi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1189,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/episodes/schools-abroad-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-before-we-moved/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/schools-abroad-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-before-we-moved.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
