My wife and I are wanting to move out of the US. We are avid travelers, but now want to just experience something different and live abroad.

If it weren’t for our young child, this would he a lot simpler. Do any of you have young children?

How is your experience? Do you recommend it? Technically, we live a very comfortable life in the US, we own a house, good job, cars, live in a safe place, etc.

Would love to get your advice and insights and your story. Thank you!

    We moved from NYC to Singapore 10 years ago. Our kid was born here shortly after we moved. Singapore is expensive (though not more than NYC) and international school fees are a drag (USD $20-30k/yr), but no regrets.

    We travel a ton. He has been to more than 20 countries. We travel internationally at least every 4-6 weeks. Covid lockdown was a nightmare in SG, so we were grounded during that time, but otherwise it’s been great.

    We will eventually move back to be closer to aging parents, but I’m super happy my kid has had this kind of international exposure. He already speaks 3 languages, too.
