Expat Toolkit
Coming SoonThe Expat Toolkit is the stuff we wish someone had told us before moving to Latin America and learning everything the hard way.
How to avoid the $450/month phone bill trap. Why your Wise account will probably get frozen - and what to have ready when it does. The app that lets us withdraw cash at 0% fees in 12 countries. How to keep your Amazon store alive while living in Medellín. Which travel insurance actually pays out (and which ones ghost you).
