I’m interested in experiencing what its like to live abroad. But you can’t always find job opportunities from the home country. I was wondering, how difficult is a “shotgun move”?

I hail married with my girlfriend, not abroad but across the United States for our first big move in our twenties.
Moved to another state right after getting my inheritance from my grandmother, cashed in all my bonds, used the money for a security deposit, first months rent, a cross-country u-haul, and a down-payment on a car since mine was totaled several months prior.
My girlfriend was a grad student who made like no money at all. We had one months worth of rent money (after paying the first) and then we would be flat ass broke. I got a job in about a month.
Tbh, I was inspired by Mark Twain. If he could move across the country with essentially no skills and get a job, I could do it with a bachelors degree.
To move abroad my, now wife, secured a job and through the job we have the ability to live (visas) in our current country. I’m honestly not sure how one would even get a job in another country while there on a tourist visa- generally tourists aren’t allowed to be employed lest it’s under the table. But also, I live in Peru and the amount of Venezuelan refugees living in Lima that just showed up hoping to make things work is staggering, but that’s the life a refugee. Likewise there are countless immigrants who arrive in the US on Hail Marys and make it work.
