The Welcome Letter
This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a house. And every house has a rhythm.
Hey there,
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re craving something different.
More freedom. More connection. Maybe just a better ratio of beauty to bullshit.
Home Abroad is for anyone dreaming of a life abroad, actively planning a move, or already living it — and wanting to do it with more intention, clarity, and heart.
It’s part magazine, part community, part what you make it.
A soft place to land. A firm nudge forward. A reminder that you're not building this alone.
🌍 What We're Doing Here
To make life abroad less lonely, less overwhelming, and way more meaningful.
Not with empty promises or influencer tropes — but with story, structure, and soul.
🪴 What We Value
Belonging — the kind that feels like exhaling
Freedom — to choose your own version of “enough”
Depth over hustle — we’re not here to go viral; we’re here to go somewhere
Emotional honesty — because moving changes you
Grounded guidance — so the logistics don’t drown the dream
🏡 The House Rules
Not many, but they matter:
Kindness over clout
Read generously. Restack with love. Celebrate each other like it’s your own win.No exclusion, ever
That means zero tolerance for racism, sexism, queerphobia, ableism, classism, or colonial nonsense.Embrace complexity
Not everyone has the same passport, bank account, or visa status. Respect the range.Be a person, not a brand
Your story is enough. You don’t have to perform to belong.Take what you need. Leave what you can.
Some weeks you’ll be in the thick of it. Other weeks, you’ll just pop by. Either way, the house is still yours.
New here? Start with The Guest Book — or just explore the rooms and follow what feels good.
And if you spot a ginger cat curled up in the Library, that’s Miso. She’s been here longer than most of us.
Welcome to Home Abroad.
We’re so glad you made it.
