Move Abroad in 60 Days

We moved from the USA to Albania in under 60 days by following a simple system: decide, plan, purge, sell, pack, book, and land.

Since then, we’ve navigated the realities of relocating, building a local life, and handling the practical steps most people get stuck on: budgeting, timelines, documents, housing strategy, and what to do first once you arrive.

Smile Abroad combines weekly group coaching, community support, and curated resources so you can make confident decisions and move faster, even if you feel overwhelmed right now.

NICE TO MEET YOU

We're Sam & Spencer

We sold it all and left the USA. It took us less than 60 days from the time we made our decision to radically transform our lives and move to Albania, a country we'd never visited before. We sold our house, our cars and virtually all of our stuff.

We landed in Albania with 4 checked bags, 2 carry-ons and our 10 year old cat Arrow. Welcome to Smile Abroad, our lifestyle brand - our mission is to empower and support other aspiring expats to move abroad too.
