At Nido, you're not getting a faceless company, cookie-cutter guidance, or a vague highlight reel — you're getting me, Amber.
I took my first big leap at 24, and since then I've lived on three continents, navigated complex visa systems, and supported other US citizens in finding their right fit abroad. Today, I'm living in Spain with my partner, but my path has taken me through Asia, Africa, Europe, and Central America. Each move taught me something new about what matters most.
What have I learned? Sometimes the place that fits you best is the one with the big name. And sometimes, it's somewhere you've never considered. What matters is thinking through your options with curiosity and intention, asking the right questions before you pack your bags.
If you're an American dreaming of a life abroad but don't know where to start, that's exactly where I come in. Maybe you have a vague idea brewing — or maybe you're completely overwhelmed by the possibilities. I don't handle logistics or book your flights. Instead, I help you cut through the noise: which destinations align with your priorities? Which paths are actually viable for your situation? I'll help you narrow down where in this vast world you can truly thrive, then connect the threads so you know exactly how to make it happen.
I'm your traveling friend ready to turn your "crazy dream" into an actionable plan.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s find your place—together.
