MEET OUR EXPAT CONSULTANTS

Hi, I'm

Expat Consultant | Retiree | Digital Nomad | Remote Worker | Family Relocation Specialist

Over the past several years, my wife and I have built a real life abroad in Spain, Albania, Türkiye (Turkey), Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Panama, and Colombia—navigating the realities of relocating internationally as expat parents raising a family.

I work with retirees, digital nomads, solo expats, expat moms and dads, and families who want to live overseas—but want real answers, not influencer hype.

As a retiree, entrepreneur, and remote worker, I understand the financial, emotional, and logistical challenges of moving abroad. I also connect closely with those pursuing alternative paths such as ESL teaching, volunteer visas, and student visas to create sustainable international lifestyles.

In addition to consulting, I bring a unique background as a reading tutor and music educator (flute and saxophone teacher), giving me insight into family life abroad, education options, and integrating into new communities.

What makes my approach different:
✔ Real-world experience living in 8 countries
✔ Firsthand knowledge of cost of living, healthcare, and visa realities
✔ Experience relocating as a family—not just traveling
✔ Honest, practical guidance—not theory

Through GLAD Global Connections, I help you:
• Avoid costly mistakes before you move abroad
• Understand realistic monthly budgets and country options
• Find reliable, up-to-date information (not outdated blogs)
• Build a clear, step-by-step relocation plan
• Prepare for healthcare, visas, banking, and daily life

This is not a dream-selling consultation.
This is about clarity, strategy, and confidence.

If you're serious about living abroad—whether as a retiree, digital nomad, remote worker, or relocating with your family—I’ll help you understand what it actually takes and how to do it right the first time.
