LIFE ABROAD FOR AMERICANS
The Freedom to Go. The Plan to Win.
Most move-abroad advice is a mix of polished highlights and bureaucratic noise. I help you skip the “Tourist Tax” and build a life abroad that is grounded, sustainable, and worth the trip.
Hi, I’m David. I’ve spent nearly three decades navigating social landmines and logistical puzzles across Europe and beyond. I don’t sell relocation fantasies—I provide the veteran strategy you need to move with confidence, protect your ties back home, and land clean.
1. Build Your Foundation
Low-risk tools to test the dream.
Turn your “escape fantasy” into a workable strategy. Whether you’re deciding if you should go or planning a 12-month test year, these systems protect your optionality.
2. Get Personal Guidance
Strategy audits for your specific life.
Apply veteran logic to your budget, destination, and timeline. Skip the generic advice and get a roadmap built around your real-world constraints.

The Expats Planet Approach
Expats Planet is built on a simple truth: Most people do life abroad backwards.
They burn money on residency lawyers, country comparisons, and “relocation experts” before they even know if they’ll like the daily reality on the ground. My work helps you approach the move in a smarter, safer order:
Prepare
Audit your temperament, protect your U.S. identity, and build a “Path B” before you book a flight.
Test
Use the Hybrid Freedom Year to gather real data on the ground without burning your bridges home.
Execute
Hire qualified local professionals only once you have the local context to know who is legitimate.
Expertise Without the Agenda
I focus on helping Americans move with more structure and less “Tourist Tax.” I don’t sell glossy relocation promises or take commissions from local vendors. I provide experienced perspective and practical judgment.
Disclaimer: I am not a relocation specialist, tax or financial advisor, or immigration lawyer. I provide strategic perspective based on 27 years of international experience.
