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":"The Honest Debrief: 12+ years, Here's What I'd Do Differently in my Move Abroad","slug":"the-honest-debrief-12-years-here-s-what-i-d-do-differently-in-my-move-abroad","published_at":"2026-08-03T04:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/the-honest-debrief-12-years-here-s-what-i-d-do-differently-in-my-move-abroad","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003","url":"https://howtomoveabroad.alitu.com/episode/4a92021d-a372-4556-ba6d-a852b5625c82","audio_url":"https://feeds.alitu.com/5372784/4a92021d-a372-4556-ba6d-a852b5625c82.mp3?t=1785729781000","summary":"Twelve years in and three moves later, I'm going back to 2013 — the Switzerland move, the one that started it all — and telling you exactly what I'd do differently. The good stuff first: negotiating to keep my job across an ocean, moving the cats the right way, and doing a scouting trip to find our apartment before we arrived. All of it worth it. And then the honest part. The queen size sleigh bed that didn't fit. The cookie sheets that didn't fit the oven. The $2,000 we had in the bank when we needed three months of rent as a deposit. The rental deposit insurance I wish someone had told me existed. And the apartment in what turned out to be a revolving door building where we never really got to know our neighbors. This one's unscripted, off the cuff, and probably the most useful episode I've recorded in a while.","meta_description":"Twelve years in and three moves later, I'm going back to 2013 — the Switzerland move, the one that started it all — and telling you exactly what I'd do di…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1315,"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/the-honest-debrief-12-years-here-s-what-i-d-do-differently-in-my-move-abroad/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/the-honest-debrief-12-years-here-s-what-i-d-do-differently-in-my-move-abroad.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
