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":"You Can't Read Your Way Into Being Ready to Move Abroad","slug":"you-can-t-read-your-way-into-being-ready-to-move-abroad","published_at":"2026-07-30T07:50:17+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-move-abroad-your-guide-to-start-living-abroad-7095003/you-can-t-read-your-way-into-being-ready-to-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/eb81cc79-1c4f-4238-9aaa-674d34475636","audio_url":"https://feeds.alitu.com/5372784/eb81cc79-1c4f-4238-9aaa-674d34475636.mp3?t=1785397818000","summary":"I cannot swim. I know the theory. I've watched people do it my entire life. I could explain the mechanics to you in detail. And if you threw me in a pool right now the outcome would not be good. This week I'm talking about why moving abroad is the same — why you cannot read or research your way into being ready for something you can only learn by doing. Why the not knowing yet is not the problem. Why the falling down on the ice is not failure, it's the process. And why my daughter being at hockey camp this week made me think about all of this in a way I needed to say out loud. Also: why you don't have to figure any of this out alone, and what support in this process actually looks like.","meta_description":"I cannot swim. I know the theory.
