Compass · Guidance for families moving abroad
Moving abroad with children.
You make the decision –
we know the way.
A hundred questions and no starting point. In 90 minutes your path gets the right strategy – and a team that has known every part of it for years. You still have to walk it. But not alone.
90 minutes + a personal written plan · a one-time 500 €
Why this helps
It isn’t information you’re missing.
It’s someone who has walked the path.
For every single question there are ten answers online – and you end up less certain than before. What’s missing is the right strategy, and a network of people who do this every day. You get both here.
Before
These are the questions families bring us
- We’ve been talking about it for two years and we’re no further.
- Which country even fits us – and where are our children allowed to learn freely?
- Our child is required to attend school. Are we breaking the law if we leave?
- What’s the right educational path – and what happens to their qualifications later?
- How do we finance this move without burning through our savings?
- The house is everything we own. What if we sell it at the wrong moment?
- Our company is still registered in Germany. Can we take it with us – or is it lost?
- How do we get health cover abroad if one of the children falls seriously ill?
- And what if we give everything up and it doesn’t work?
After
And this is what you take away
- Clarity on which destination countries or travelling model could fit your situation
- Clarity on possible educational paths for your children
- Clear guidance on the next steps for property, company and savings
- A clear order for the next steps around residency and deregistration
- Clarity on which cover is worth checking for your path
- A structure that matches how you actually live
- Clear guidance on handling savings, property proceeds and wealth questions
Our team
You don’t get one opinion.
You get a team.
For every part of the journey there is someone who does it daily – for years, with real families, not from a textbook. We know these people personally and have worked with them for a long time.
By the way: starting in 2027, quite a bit will change across the EU when it comes to foreign accounts and cross-border wealth matters. The earlier you get the structure right, the more relaxed you’ll be when it happens – it’s exactly the kind of thing our team sorts out for families like yours, every day.
How it works
Three steps to your personal plan
Book & complete your questionnaire
Right after booking, you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire about your current situation, plans, goals and most important questions. Simply complete and submit it before your personal session.
This allows us to prepare specifically for you and your individual situation – so we can focus on what really matters from the very beginning.
Your personal Compass session
In 90 minutes, we’ll look at your situation, your goals and the topics that are truly relevant to your journey.
Your personal roadmap
After the session, you’ll receive your written plan with clear next steps, priorities and – where useful – relevant specialists and contacts.
No months of research. No information overload. You’ll know what to do next.
Who we are
We’ve made the move ourselves –
with heart and experience.
Three children, deregistered from Germany four years ago, travelling ever since around Europe, with Portugal as our favourite. Our children learn freely. We’ve done every single step ourselves: the deregistration, the residency, the insurance, the structure, the schooling question – and all the moments in between when you don’t know whether it was the right call.
Since 2022 we’ve guided other families along this path – 123 of them so far. Out of that time our network grew: people we know, trust and have worked with for years. From that, an international network of emigrants and travellers has grown too – families like yours, all over the world. That network is what we put at your disposal.
We won’t sell you a dream. We’ll tell you what’s coming – and walk it with you, with heart and with a team behind us.

Living it first
What does moving abroad
actually feel like?
Before you sell everything and deregister: live it for a while. A few weeks in a place you could imagine staying – in everyday life, not on holiday. Shopping, working, laundry, children. Afterwards you’ll know whether it could be your life.
We have contacts to places to stay and to families living the same way. If you’re interested, just write to us and we’ll see what’s possible.
Why it’s worth it
- You’ll feel in real everyday life on the ground whether it truly fits – not just researched from a desk
- Your children experience what it’s really like
- You meet families who’ve already made the move
- As a couple you decide together – not in theory
- And if it doesn’t feel right, you’ve gained clarity before making final decisions
Rather ask first?
Write to us
Compass or a trial stay – if you’re unsure what fits your situation, a short message is enough. We reply within two working days.
