From Vision to Victory: The essentials to become a happy and healthy expat
October 13, 2024, from 10:00AM to 6:00PM CET
Senator Parque Central Hotel in Valencia, Spain
Why are you still living in a country that no longer suits you?
You’ve had a vision of living in another country for as long as you can remember. Or maybe your dream is more recent. Either way the idea of soaking up a new culture, enjoying different cuisines, embracing a slower pace, and trading in your normal, routine life for a more adverturesome one is calling you. The problem it’s been calling for way to long and it feels like you will never get there.
But why is this? Why haven’t you made the necessary progress to make your move overseas?
Envisioning yourself living a simpler life and sipping coffee on the terrace of cafe in your dream country is one thing. Figuring out how to make that life your own is another. The How gets us stuck. Stuck in the details. Stuck in confusion. Stuck in research. And stuck in a country you no longer want to live in.
- How do I learn a new language?
- How do I afford to move abroad?
- Where do I get help in a new environment?
- How do I find a new home in another country?
- What is a visa, and how do I get one?
- How do I maintain effective healthcare abroad?
- What if I want to move back home?
- How do I get rid of the possessions in my home?
- How will I get to know people in a new place?
- Will I be welcomed into another country?
- What will my life look like as an expat?
- Can I work while I am abroad, or do I have to be retired?
- Will I have to pay taxes in my new home?
- Do I have to stay in the new country for a year or more?
- What’s the cost of living in my new country?
Phew! That’s a lot of questions, and needing answers to all of them leads to analysis paralysis, procastination, and fear that gets you nowhere.
But where do you go from here? Where can you get the help you need it sorting through the noise?
Valencia, Spain!
On Sunday, October 13, 2024, Christopher Wells and Patricia Brooks, two seasoned expats will host the first ever From Vision to Victory: The essentials to become a happy and healthy expat workshop where you can get answers to your questions, create your plan, and leave with action steps and inspiration to move you dreams forward.
From Vision to Victory: The essentials to become a happy and healthy expat
One-day In-Person Interactive Workshop
in Valencia Spain, Sunday, October 13, 2024
from 10:00AM to 6:00PM CET
Senator Parque Central Hotel in Valencia, Spain
Created by Christopher Wells and Patricia Brooks, expats living in Spain and France respectively, to help you find answers to your questions, create an actionable plan, and build the confidence to work your plan with intention so you can move to the country you’ve been dreaming about, once and for all.
This workshop is for you if you are ready to go from:
- not knowing what to do or where to start to having a roadmap that shows you the steps you need to take before, during, and after your move so that you can make your move abroad and thrive there
- not having a clear vision or a reason deep enough to inspire you to act to having the clarity and purpose that get you into action and keeps you there until your dream is a reality
- feeling like you don’t have the tools, resources, or support needed to make such life-changing move to a rewarding expat experience that is uniquely yours and deeply satisfying
- feeling defeated and uncertain to being confident and committed so that you break the start-stop-start cycle and gain sustainable traction that will propel you across the finish line
- believing that a move abroad is not likely or possible for you to seeing a path forward that will get you unstuck and moving forward with an unstoppable momentum

Here’s what you get when you sign up:
When you sign up, you’ll participate in an interactive, engaging, and personalized event. We have designed this event to share the wealth of our experiences to overcome your obstacles and challenges for your expat dream.
Learn from the Experts!
You will learn through the combined experience of two expat thought leaders. Patricia Brooks, of the Carefree Expat and Dr. Christopher Wells of the Clever Expat are both seasoned expats and have developed methodologies that will support your success.
Real (and realistic) answers!
You’ll finally have the opportunity to ask your questions about becoming an expat. This is your opportunity to explore your dreams and talk with others who are on the expat journey with you.
A solid plan!
You’ll learn what to do before, during, and after your expat move. Many people dream of becoming an expat, but you will have the tools to actually make it happen.
Access to a new adventure abroad!
You’ll be able to define your own personal expat approach. Being an expat is not a “one size fits all” approach, and you will learn how to create a unique expat lifestyle that is uniquely yours!
Organizer and notebook!
Comprehensive workbook to use throughout the workshop and your expat move. Together, we will cover a great deal of material in the workshop. With this bonus, you will have our “secret notes” that reflect our expat experiences and opportunities.
What’s in the course?
Module 1: Defining your happiness abroad (your WHY)
Why do I want to be an expat? Where do I want to live?
In this section, we will discuss the different styles of an expat life. In our combined experience, we have learned that a clear vision of your lifestyle allows you to overcome challenges more effectively. Some questions that we address include:
- Do I want to be more of a full-time or part-time expat?
- What styles of expat living appeal to me most (and yes, there’s more than one!)?
- What conveniences and business experiences will be different in other countries?
Module 2: Building resilience – changing your lifestyle before you move abroad
What can I start doing now to build momentum toward my expat life?
The focus of this module is your preparation for becoming an expat. Building on your expat goals, we’ll build a personalized plan to prepare you for your expat experiences. In this section, we’ll address the following questions:
- How can I set realistic goals for my expat journey?
- How can I learn a new language well enough to thrive in a new culture?
- How do I downsize and downshift to prepare for a different lifestyle?
- How do I prepare for a different cost of living dynamic?
Module 3: Identifying 5 blocks to making the expat move
What’s keeping me from starting my expat life?
Becoming an expat starts long before you embark on your new adventure abroad. In this module, we will discuss the obstacles that might prevent you from becoming an expat.
- How do I manage my possessions in a healthy and satisfying way?
- What are the personal levers I need to get into action?
- How will I overcome the fear of the unknown in my expat adventure?
Module 4: Making the most of an expat preview trip?
How do I learn about destinations in a way that supports my expat goals?
Many future expats plan a “preview trip” to find out more about their potential destination. In this module, we will identify a set of indicators that reflect your expat plans and provide you with the information you need. There are several questions we will discuss:
- How do I use a journal to take essential notes during my preview trip?
- Where can I seek out more local (and less touristy) experiences?
- How can I identify a much more realistic cost of living?
Module 5: Figuring it out and fitting in
What should I expect or anticipate when I finally reach my destination?
Very few resources actually address the post-arrival experience in a concrete way. In this section, we will discuss the reality of landing in a new country and getting settled with as little difficulty as possible. We will consider several important questions:
- What kind of paperwork will I encounter?
- How will I build community and make friends?
- How will I support my mental health through the stress of moving abroad?
- How do I learn a language and join the local culture?
Bonus #1
Free download of Patricia Brooks’ eBook, Live a Bold Life: Your 30-day Mission to a Fearless Future with a 30-day challenge and prompts to create affirmations that will help you stay the course as you plan, prepare and move abroad.
Bonus #2

From Vision to Victory: The essentials to become a happy and healthy expat is the best way to save your time, money, and effort to reach your expat dreams. We have worked with hundreds of future expats to identify what will yield the most success for you.
Typically, we see expats spending $5,000+ on an immigration attorney, $3,000 on a relocation expert, and $15,000 or more to ship home goods. So many of these costs can be avoided or minimized with the information presented in From Vision to Victory.
