One-on-one support for future expats, nomads, and adventurers
Personalized guidance for people who want to build a life abroad on purpose. Helping you navigate life's biggest transitions without losing sight of who you are.
The Longing
You can see the life you dream of every time you close our eyes. Maybe it started as a passing daydream in a city you visited once, when a version of life that felt truer came to the surface. But somewhere between wouldn't it be nice and an actual decision, things get foggy. Where would you even go? What if you build a whole new life and it still doesn't feel right? What about everyone you'd be leaving behind?
That fog is normal. It's also exactly why most people stay, maybe for years, sometimes for good in places they don’t feel they belong in. The dream was real, but no one ever helped them turn it into a plan.
That's what I am here for.
What This Is
A Life of Your Own is a six-session coaching program for people seriously considering a move abroad: whether that's a single country, a slower nomadic life, or simply a more intentional version of where you already are. It's built around one belief: the biggest obstacle to relocating well usually isn't logistics. It's clarity. Once you know your real why, your real fit, and your real timeline, the practical steps stop feeling impossible.
Each session builds on the last, moving you from vague longing to a plan you actually trust.
The Journey
01 — The Why
Get honest about what you're actually solving for. Career, love, adventure, escape — the label matters less than the truth underneath it. You'll leave this session with a single clear sentence describing what you're really after, the thing every other decision gets measured against.
02 — The Where
Not every place fits every person. We'll work through your pace-of-life preferences, language appetite, climate needs, and culture fit to narrow "anywhere" down to a real, specific shortlist of 2–3 places worth exploring further.
03 — The When
Dreaming without a timeline keeps it a dream. We'll map a realistic budget, visa pathway, and target date — built around your actual situation, not a generic checklist.
04 — The What
Picture an ordinary Tuesday in your imagined life — not the highlight reel. This session pressure-tests the fantasy against the daily reality, so you know if it's really what you want before you've packed a single box.
05 — The Now What
Every move comes with friction — some universal, some specific to where you're headed. We'll walk through both, and build a first-90-days plan so you're prepared instead of blindsided.
06 — The Growth
A move is a beginning, not a finish line. We'll build your check-in rhythm for the months after you land, plus the resources and first concrete steps to carry you forward.

Your Guide
Hi, I'm Szidonia — a nomad, traveler, adventurer, and storyteller originally from Transylvania. Over the past 16 years I've lived in 7 countries, traveled to over 30, and learned to speak 3 languages fluently (plus 2 more on the way). For the last 8 years, I've also worked as a language teacher, helping expats settle in and feel at home in countries that weren't originally theirs. I know what it feels like to stand at the edge of a big move — the excitement tangled up with the fear — because I've stood there myself, more than once. Now I help others step onto that same path with more clarity and a lot less unnecessary panic.
