Abroad

I've been living and working outside the US since 2025, moving as a family with my wife and two young sons.

Where we've been

2025: Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Estepona), France (Paris, Marseille), Italy (Rome, Messina), Malta

2026: Montenegro (Kotor), Turkey (Istanbul), Spain (Ronda, Sevilla, Madrid, Estepona), England (London, Surrey), Portugal (Lisbon, Sintra)

How we do it

Our primary situation has been spending 3-month cohorts with Boundless Life in Estepona (Spain), Kotor (Montenegro), and Sintra (Portugal). It has been an incredible way to easily live abroad and have our children attend an actual school built for a digital nomad, world-schooling life. We've also been able to meet likeminded families living similar lives around the world.

My sons and I each have German passports, making it very easy for us to travel around the EU without having to reset our visas.

What we use

The best program we've found for digital nomad worklife and schooling combined.

aloSIM has made traveling incredibly easy, with plans that work seamlessly all throughout Europe and the world. We've just had to purchase an eSIM once and it keeps working as we travel. We always buy 180 days at a time with 100gb and it works perfectly. Save $3 on your first data purchase with aloSIM using my unique code: 1RR9PVE.

We use SafetyWing's Nomad Insurance for medical coverage wherever we are — emergencies and doctor visits, plus travel problems like lost luggage and delays. It's built for people living abroad rather than taking a trip: one rolling subscription that follows you across countries instead of fixed-date trip policies.
