Moving to a foreign country — even just temporarily — may be one of the most thrilling and life-changing experiences you ever have. But it will definitely not be easy. Especially if you’re relocating as a family.

Family Move Abroad is my attempt to make your expat adventure more accessible. To facilitate the process from, “Hey… I wonder what it would be like to live in a foreign country with our kids…” to stepping off the plane and settling in to your new surroundings with ease. To connect you to the resources you need to nurture your vision of a life overseas and, most importantly, to find the answers to ALL your questions. So you can guide your children with confidence a wondrous overseas experience that will change their perspective on themselves, and the world around them, forever. More time to revel in the dream. Less time hunkered down in the logistics of getting there.

Let’s get started.

We would have been lost without Jackie’s guidance.

There are so many aspects to moving one's family abroad that it can be overwhelming just to think about. The various steps, forms, copies, notaries, etc. as one works through two countries' bureaucracies is a road besot by potholes, u-turns & dead-ends. Jackie was able to organize everything into concise buckets for us so that we were able to visualize the tasks we had to do, make it have logical sense, and gave us the confidence that we could do it. The end result was that we were totally prepared without feeling like it was a ton of work. We didn't have one hang-up. Jackie pays strict attention to detail so that there is nothing that one could encounter during the process that would trip up or delay it and she is very energetic and driven which keeps one on task and gives confidence that they can and will make this adventure happen.

I was overwhelmed with what seemed like an endless amount of mixed information online on the NLV requirements for Spain. I was glad when I came across Jackie’s blog because not only were her articles extremely detailed, she also offered 1-1 calls for more specific questions. After our call, I had a clear understanding of exactly everything I had to do to submit to the NY Spanish consulate. Thanks to some had work and her help, I was approved in two weeks and will be heading to Spain to live my Spanish dream. Thanks so much! Matahari, NY

I was grateful to have been connected with Jackie.

My daughter is studying abroad and is attending the same school as Jackie's son. I corresponded with Jackie and she provided me with valuable insights about the school. When my daughter and I arrived in Spain, Jackie and I agreed to meet at the Open House at my daughter's new school, and Jackie introduced me to a number of expat parents and their children, many of whom are now my daughter's closest friends at school. Jackie helped me make connections that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to find, and having those made it easier for me to help my daughter navigate her cultural transition.

Jackie’ reliability and knowledge for the NLV process makes it so much easier.

Her website and personal consultation are great resources that make the process much easier, less confusing and most importantly, successful. Jackie always was on top of things, gave me premium advice, answered all my many emails and at the end helped me obtain the NLV. I recommend Jackie and her website resources to anyone interested in moving to Spain! X.S., Boston
