Move Away From USA

We’re Jay and Elle, an American couple who made the life-changing decision to leave the U.S. and start fresh in British Columbia. At ages 46 and 36, we realized that the American way of life—endless work, rising costs, and political turmoil—was no longer serving us. So, with our dog by our side, we packed up our lives in the Pacific Northwest and crossed the border to build something better.

Now, we’re on a mission to help others who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a new adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of Canada, Europe, Central America or anywhere else in the world, we want to share the knowledge, resources, and encouragement to help you break free and start your own expat journey. If we can do it, so can you.
