Dreaming of a New Life Abroad? Experience It for Yourself in Just 7 Days.

You’ve spent hours researching visas, browsing property listings, and imagining what it would be like to wake up in a new country. But dreaming about it isn’t enough. What if you could step into that dream for just one week and see what it’s really like to live there?

My Discovery Tours are designed for future expats like you—people who are serious about moving abroad but need clarity and confidence to take the next step. Over 7 days, you’ll:

  • Experience daily life in your dream country, from neighborhoods to local markets.
  • Connect with expats who’ve already made the leap.
  • Get practical guidance on visas, real estate, and settling in.

Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what past participants have to say.

I was overwhelmed by all the conflicting information online about visas and real estate. But during the tour, we visited a local immigration office, and our guide walked us through the entire visa process step by step. I even got to meet an expat who’s been living in Portugal for 5 years, and she shared her experience with the Golden Visa program. I had no idea it was so straightforward!

The best part was exploring neighborhoods I never would have found on my own. We visited a hidden café in Lisbon that’s a favorite among locals, and I could totally picture myself living there. By the end of the tour, I felt so much more confident about making the move. I’ve already started the paperwork for my visa, and I can’t wait to return!" – Sarah, Nevada

The tour was so well-organized, and I learned how to get around and get by in this beautiful country. The pace of life here is so serene, and the people are incredibly welcoming. One of the highlights was learning about the one-year tourist visa, which is perfect for someone like me who wants to set up a home base while traveling around Europe. I had no idea it was so easy to stay here long-term!

The cost of living is another huge plus. I met expats who are living comfortably on less than $1,000 a month, and I can totally see myself doing the same. We visited local cafes, explored the stunning coastline, and even checked out a few apartments in Tirana. By the end of the tour, I felt so confident about my decision to make Albania my home base. I’ve already started planning my next trip back!” - Natalie, New York

I just thought it would be fun and interesting to visit, especially since the tour was going through such a unique and beautiful part of the country. But then I joined one of Hanne’s live sessions, and she mentioned that you only need to show 500–500–600 a month in qualifying income for residency. That got me thinking, ‘Maybe I should check this out.’ So, I booked the tour.

I can’t believe how much I packed into just one week! The tour was incredible, but what really stood out to me was the unexpected bonus of getting a dental checkup. One of the days, we visited a private clinic in Istanbul, and I was able to get a full dental checkup on the spot. They had an X-ray machine right there, and I got the results back immediately—all for just $80! I’ve been putting off dental work for years because of the cost in the U.S., but now I’m planning to come back for implants. It’s such a relief to know I can get high-quality care at an affordable price.

Beyond that, the tour gave me a real sense of what life in Turkey is like. We explored local markets, visited historic sites, and even met with an expat who’s been living in Istanbul for 10 years. She shared so many tips about navigating the city and finding affordable housing. By the end of the week, I felt like I had a solid plan for my move. I’m already looking at apartments online and can’t wait to return!” – James, California
