Work from anywhere. Live beyond borders.
I left NYC with one suitcase, a laptop, and a business plan. Now I run a location-independent consultancy. Real stories and practical playbooks for professionals ready to trade the commute, not the paycheck.

Hi, I’m Jess.
Brazilian-born and New York-raised, inspired by my grandmother Helena: a diplomat and world traveler who showed me the world was bigger than one zip code.
In 2024 I sold everything in my NYC apartment and left for Barcelona with a one-way ticket, a suitcase, and a business plan. After years at Indeed and Expedia, I built a location-independent consultancy that I run from wherever I land.
Moving abroad is not always as romantic as Emily in Paris makes it look, and that’s exactly why I write about it.

Questions, answered
What if my company won’t let me work remotely?
That’s one of the most common starting points. We cover how to pitch remote work to your employer, and how to go fractional or freelance if they say no.
Is it too late for me?
No. Many people make this move mid-career, when they have the skills and savings to do it well. The plan is built around where you are now.
What about my partner or family?
Your plan is built around your real life, including the people coming with you.
Will you help with visas and taxes?
I’ll share exactly how I navigated it and connect you with vetted immigration and tax professionals. I don’t give legal or tax advice myself.
