The most important thing I did before moving abroad


Smart money moves that helped me move abroad

When my family decided to move to the UK, I knew we had to get our finances in order. This would be my second time moving from the US to the UK, and I knew firsthand how quickly the costs could add up. That meant making sure we could afford this new adventure without making money mistakes along the way.

We had some money set aside, but also needed to resolve some debts and figure out how to help our savings grow after we moved. I needed a plan that would let me grow and protect our money while paying off what we owed.

That’s when I found Slay the Stock Market.

This course was created by the fantastic Delyanne Barros, also known as Delyanne The Money Coach. I was inspired by her story of how she went from six-figure debt to millionaire status (and moved from the U.S. to Portugal!).

Delyanne relies on low-risk investments to protect and grow savings. She also emphasizes the importance of investing while still paying off debt. Most importantly, she takes away the overwhelming jargon or pressure to be perfect with your money.

With what I learned, I was able to:
✅ Start investing confidently without feeling lost.
✅ Keep paying down debt while growing our savings.
✅ Navigate moving money abroad, covering expenses and saving along the way.

If you’re stuck wondering whether your money is ready to help you move abroad—whether it's sitting in savings, tangled up in debt, or just not working for you—this course can help. It makes investing approachable and practical, even if you feel like you have no clue where to start.

Slay the Stock Market helped me create the financial freedom I needed to make a huge life change, and I truly believe it can help you, too.

Travel Find of the Week: Seven Sisters

Have you heard of the "white cliffs of Dover"? Much of the southeast coast of England is made up of white chalk cliffs that tower over the crashing waves. The Seven Sisters are a range of these cliffs that extend between Dover and Brighton.

Hiking these hills make for some incredible views, though it can get pretty windy and you need to use caution near the cliff edges. Check out the Brighton day trip post on the blog to find two tour recommendations that include visits to the area: one small-group tour from London and one boat trip to see the cliffs from the water.

New on the Blog: Tintagel Castle

Ever wanted to visit the place where King Arthur's legend was born? Tintagel Castle in Cornwall is that place. I've added a new guide to visiting the castle ruins set on an oceanside cliff. Check it out here!

See you next week!

Shakespeare Outside of the Globe I recently went into central London with my daughter to see a production of Richard II starring Jonathan Bailey. It was very fun to see Fiyero do Shakespeare, but the whole cast was incredible. The location was also an interesting twist. Bridge Theatre is one of the newest theatre venues in London, located just a mile down the river from Shakespeare's Globe. The Bridge doesn't only run Shakespeare plays, but the flexible space was set up for a similar "show in...

Shhh! Are There Quiet Spots in London? The first time I visited London, I didn't enjoy it that much. We came in the middle of summer holidays and wanted to see all the big tourist stuff. Unfortunately, lots of other people were doing the same thing. If you're also not a huge fan of crowds, but don't want to miss out on London's excellent sights, I have some suggestions for you. Duck into one of these relaxing places near the top sights. Near Big Ben and Westminster Abbey The area between...
