Move Abroad Accelerator Program (MAAP) Cohort

The next cohort starts on August 22, 2026.
Registration opens on August 14, 2026 12:00 pm Eastern.

The MAAP Cohort is an 8-week live coaching program for Americans who are serious about leaving the U.S. and moving abroad.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward without making costly mistakes, we’ll help you turn all your research and ideas into a clear destination strategy, realistic timeline, and actionable plan that you can actually follow.

Small group. Live sessions. Real progress.

This is why you’re stuck

You’ve watched the videos.
You’ve read the articles.
You’ve probably even narrowed it down to a few countries.

And yet… you’re still not moving forward because every answer seems to lead to more questions:

“What if I pick the wrong country?”
“What if I can’t get a visa?”
“What if I run out of money?”
“What if I get there and I don’t like it?”

So instead of making a decision, you keep researching, trying to feel more certain and avoid mistakes.

But the more you look into it, the more overwhelming it becomes.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

The problem isn’t that you don’t have enough information.

It’s that you don’t have a clear way to turn all that information into decisions.

And without clear decisions, there’s no real progress.

So you stay in a loop:

Research → Doubt → Delay → Repeat

And months (or years) go by without anything actually changing.

At a certain point, more research doesn’t make this easier.

It actually makes it harder.

Because now you’re not just choosing a country… you’re choosing between dozens of possibilities, opinions, and “what if” scenarios.

And the stakes feel higher with every new piece of information.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

You’re just stuck in a phase that most people don’t know how to move through.

And getting out of that phase doesn’t require more information.

It requires a clearer path.

Testimonial…

“Before I decided to make the move, I took JP and Amelia’s courses, and found them to be very helpful. Their videos are what got me excited about moving abroad and exploring the places they talked about. I owe it to JP and Amelia for getting my ball rolling.”

~ Cindy, USA

Why MOST approaches don’t work

To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with the information out there.

In fact, there’s more high-quality content about moving abroad today than ever before.

That’s not the problem.

The problem is that everything is scattered.

One video talks about visas.
Another focuses on cost of living.
A blog post compares countries.
A Facebook group shares personal experiences.

Individually, it’s all helpful.

But none of it is designed to help you make your decisions in the right order, with the right context.

So instead of getting a clear picture of how to do it, you end up with a bunch of disconnected pieces that don’t lead to any sort of tangible action plan.

You’re trying to connect information across different sources, while also trying to avoid mistakes, while also trying to make major life decisions.

That’s a lot to carry on your own.

And it’s why so many people stay stuck much longer than they expected. Maybe forever.

Moving abroad isn’t just about gathering information.

It’s about making a series of connected decisions:

Where you can realistically live
How you’ll stay there legally
What your desired quality of life will actually cost
And how to transition out of your current situation

When those decisions aren’t guided by a clear process, it’s easy to second-guess everything.

That’s the gap most people run into.

Not a lack of information, but a lack of structure to turn that information into a real plan.

And without that structure, it’s difficult to make any meaningful progress.

Testimonial…

“We devoured Amelia and JP’s videos while preparing for our move! Even more than the practical tips for preparing to relocate and for adjusting to life abroad, their joy of discovery and respectful treatment of the culture through a helpful expat lens grew our confidence that we could make a place for ourselves here.”

~ Brittany & Family, USA

What actually helps you move forward

If you want to make real progress, the goal isn’t to learn more.

It’s to make clearer decisions, one step at a time.

That starts with having a simple, structured way to work through the process that helps you make the right decisions, in the right order.

Instead of trying to figure everything out upfront, progress looks like:

Narrowing down to a destination that fits your situation
Understanding how you can legally stay there
Getting a realistic sense of your costs
And knowing what steps come next

Not perfectly, but clearly enough to keep moving forward.

You don’t need to have every detail solved before you begin.

You just need enough clarity to take the next step without second-guessing every decision.

And for most people, that kind of clarity is hard to create alone because you’re trying to make big, interconnected decisions without a clear framework or feedback.

That’s why it’s so important to have a structured path, with guidance and support, as you move through it.

Exactly what the MAAP Cohort solves

That’s exactly why we created the Move Abroad Accelerator Program (MAAP) Cohort.

Not as another course full of information, but as a guided process to help you move forward.

The MAAP Cohort is an 8-week live coaching/consulting program that will walk you through how to turn the idea of moving abroad into a clear, realistic plan.

Each week, we focus on one key part of the process so you’re not trying to figure everything out at once.

You’ll move through the same core decisions we’ve been talking about, step by step, and in the right order.

With:

Live weekly sessions
Clear guidance on what actually matters (and what doesn’t)
Time to ask questions and get unstuck
And a group of people going through the same process alongside you

Instead of piecing things together on your own, you’re working through a structured path with support as you make each decision.

So you’re not left wondering:

“Am I missing something?”
“Should I be thinking about this differently?”
“What do I actually do next?”

You’ll know where you’re going, what it takes to get there, and what your next step is so you can move forward instead of staying stuck in the same cycle.

Testimonial…

“Hi Amelia and JP. I’ve watched your videos for a long time, and I’m finally getting things together to move abroad this year. Your course was very thorough, and I really like the way it was organized. The banking, money, mobile-phone readiness, medications, and language resources are so very helpful. I’ve been taking notes and will continue to reference them because I didn’t know how I was going to navigate some of these concerns. This was a big relief for me!”

~ Janet H., USA

Who this program is for…

This program is a good fit if:

You’ve been thinking about moving abroad for a while, but haven’t taken the next step
You’ve done a lot of research, but still feel unsure how to turn it into a plan
You want to make thoughtful decisions without overcomplicating the process
You’re open to guidance and want a clearer path forward
You’re serious about making this happen, even if you’re not sure exactly when

It’s especially helpful if you tend to think things through carefully and want to feel confident in your decisions before moving forward.

There’s no pressure to have everything figured out before you start.

Getting the most out of this program comes from being willing to engage with the process and move forward, one step at a time.

If you’re somewhere in the middle, you’re probably exactly who this is for.

A step-by-step path for your move abroad

Each week, we’ll focus on one key milestone so you can make real progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Week 1

Avoiding Costly Mistakes Abroad

We start by looking at the most common (and expensive) mistakes people make when moving abroad so you can avoid problems before they happen.

Week 2

Escaping the Stay vs. Move Trap

We’ll help you work through the internal back-and-forth that keeps so many people stuck so you can move forward with more clarity and less second-guessing.

Week 3

Choosing a Country That Actually Works

Instead of endless comparisons, you’ll learn how to evaluate countries based on your priorities & visa qualifications so you can narrow your options.

Week 4

Designing a Life You Can Afford Abroad

You’ll build a rough financial picture of your life abroad so you’re not guessing about costs or relying on outdated estimates.

Week 5

Solving the Healthcare Mystery

We’ll walk through how healthcare works in different countries and what your options are so you can make informed decisions without unnecessary fear.

Week 6

Preparing to Leave Your Current Life

From logistics to timing, we’ll help you think through what it actually takes to transition so nothing important gets overlooked.

Week 7

Your First Months Abroad Logistics

We’ll talk about what to expect when you arrive and how to set yourself up for a smoother transition so you’re not figuring it out as you go.

Week 8

Turning This Into a Real Plan

We’ll bring everything together into a clear, structured plan so you leave knowing exactly what your next steps should be.

By the end of the 9 weeks

By the end of the program, you’ll have:

A clear direction on where you want to live and why it fits your situation
A realistic understanding of how you can stay there legally
A financial picture of what your life abroad will actually cost
A timeline for your move based on your personal circumstances
And a structured plan for what to do next

So instead of constantly second-guessing your decisions, you’ll have more confidence in the decisions you’re making.

Instead of wondering what you’re missing, you’ll know what matters most (and what doesn’t).

Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll finally have real momentum.

Not because everything is certain, but because you’ve worked through the right decisions in the right order.

At that point, you’re no longer just thinking about moving abroad.

You’re actively working a plan to make your move abroad happen.

Testimonial…

“Wow. Yes, I’m a little overwhelmed right now at all the necessary prep steps. But am also SO GRATEFUL for this knowledge. I’ve been searching for a while and haven’t found all this in one place!”

~ Chris, USA

We’ve seen similar programs priced from $1,500 to $25,000!

But for many people, the biggest cost isn’t the program. It’s staying stuck and spending more time researching, second-guessing, and delaying a decision that matters to them.

This is designed to help you move forward with clarity, so you can stop circling the same questions and start building a plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t know where I want to move yet?
One of the first things we focus on is helping you narrow your options based on things that matter most to you, as well as your visa qualifications. It’s good to have some ideas, but you don’t need to have a destination chosen yet.
What if my situation is complicated?
Most people’s situations are complicated.

There’s no single “standard” path when it comes to moving abroad, which is why the program is built around helping you think through your specific circumstances, not forcing you into a one-size-fits-all plan.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and work through the details that apply to you.
What if I don’t have a specific timeline yet?
That’s okay.

Part of the process is helping you develop a timeline that fits your situation. You don’t need to have that figured out before you start.
What if I’m worried about making the wrong decision?
That’s one of the most common concerns.

The goal isn’t to eliminate all uncertainty. It’s to help you make informed, thoughtful decisions so you can move forward without constantly second-guessing yourself.
What if I don’t have time for this?
Each week is designed to be manageable.

You’ll have one live session per week, and the focus is on making steady progress, not adding more busy work to your schedule.

You may find that having dedicated time to focus actually makes this process feel easier and more manageable.
How is this different from just continuing to research on my own?
The difference is structure and guidance.

Instead of trying to piece everything together on your own, you’re working through a clear process, focusing on the decisions that actually move you forward.

You’ll have our support along the way, and encouragement from other members, so you won’t be all alone on this path.

If you’ve been thinking about this for a while but haven’t found a clear way forward, this is designed to help you take that next step at a pace that feels comfortable.

If you’re ready to move forward

If you’ve been thinking about moving abroad for a while and you’re ready to start turning it into something real, this is your next step.
