I'm Jason Alvey

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to begin your life again in a different country?Maybe you’re in the United States and feeling uncertain about the future there. Maybe Australia feels safe, but predictable and expensive. Maybe the long, rainy winters in London have begun to wear on you. Or perhaps you simply feel that your life could be more meaningful and interesting somewhere else.I left my country of birth, Australia, more than twenty-five years ago and have since navigated multiple transitions across three different countries. I can help you think clearly about whether relocating abroad is a realistic move in your specific situation. Drawing on almost a lifetime of experience in foreign cultures, I can help you see past the shiny marketing and assess what this life would actually look like for you. In some cases, the answer may be that it's not a fit for you, but it's better to learn that before you sell everything and get on a plane. For others, and maybe for you, this lifestyle might be the most significant and transformative change you ever experience.If you would like an honest, thoughtful conversation about your options, send me a message with a brief description of your circumstances. I will respond personally.
