Day in and day out...
You fix breakfast, power up your computer, put on your headphones, and log in to GitHub. Today, you’ll work on your dream.
Eight hours and a few questionable snacks later, you’re done for the day. Another day without working on your dream.
You leave your desk to relax for the evening, do some chores, and watch some travel videos on YouTube. You’ll get to your dream tomorrow.

But What If There’s More?
Granted, your life might not be what you’d call adventurous — but it pays the bills, right?
You’re a seasoned, highly skilled tech specialist, your job is intellectually stimulating, and it’s nice to be around friends and family.
Sure, you’ve always wanted to travel the world and take your skills global, but your English is weak, and you need Visa help.
Packing Up and Relocating Is Scary
… especially if you struggle with English, and you’ve never worked internationally before.
First, you have to find a new job and a place to live. You need a visa or work permit, and your English needs to improve. On top of that, you’ll need to adapt to a whole new way of living and working on your own.
Relocating abroad can be nerve-wracking. No wonder you’re hesitant to take the plunge.
