EP154 Seeking the American Dream Abroad

Apr 19, 2024

As the pandemic recedes, the dream of remote work forever has also shrank. But for those who can still telecommute, the allure of planting roots elsewhere has become "the writing on the wall."

Reports of Americans moving abroad have historically centered on an older demographic looking to stretch their retirement savings. However, this new cohort of high paid telecommuters has come into focus - a group that seeks to achieve the American Dream while living abroad. With the economics, safety, and livability of their home nation in decline, living abroad has become a rational choice for this group.

But as more Americans seek their dream life abroad, only time will tell how well their assimilation into their destination countries will fare.

We'd love to hear from our digital nomad listeners! Have you considered planting roots abroad instead of settling in your home nation? Let us know in the comments below!
