The full guide goes deeper.
62 pages covering the stuff that has a real chance of derailing your trip if you don't know it going in. Not packing tips. The actual logistics — visas, banking, healthcare, making money before you leave — that nobody writes about clearly.
Visas & The 6-Month Rule
This one surprises almost everyone. What it is, when it applies, and the entry requirements people get caught on at the border — often after they've already landed.
Keep Your US Phone Number
You don't have to give it up. How to stay reachable for bank texts and calls from home — without paying roaming fees.
Make $10K+ Before You Leave
I made over $10,000 selling my belongings on Facebook Marketplace. What sold, what didn't, how I priced things, and exactly how you can do the same.
Banking & Finances Abroad
The exact banking setup I use to avoid international fees, plus managing money across currencies for 4 years without a permanent address.
Documents & Backup Copies
The documents you need, the ones people forget, and how to store and back them up so a stolen bag doesn't end your trip. This section alone is worth the download.
Healthcare, Insurance & Mail
Health insurance, prescriptions, your mail, your voter's ballot — what happens to all of it when you have no permanent address. All covered.
