My husband and I have been nomadic for five years. For three years we bopped around Europe and it was amazing. 18 countries! We're back in the states because of family stuff and we're miserable. We are discussing where we'll settle in the future. I've traveled abroad since I was a teen, but when I actually lived in places for three to 15 months and became part of community in other countries, it changed everything. We lived in Albania for a year and I remember I was at the fish shop down the street and decided I wanted to add a bottle of wine to my order. I was going to walk back up the hill to get more money and the owner was like, "Why are you doing that? Just pay me the next time you're over here." I was literally confused. He said, "You're my neighbor. I know you." That was it. We had so many experiences like that in Europe, it was crazy. Leaving my bike outside of the grocery store for hours unchained in Finland. Not a soul bothered it. Getting on the bus with the wrong ticket and being told I could ride for free because the driver didn't want me to miss my flight. Just the we were treated was night and day to the US. I can't wait to leave again.

[@ms.rivera7898]

Thanks for sharing. When I lived in Korea, it was the same. It was so safe. You could leave your laptop in the cafe and not stress about going to the bathroom or going to the shop down the street to pick up something, because you know no one will touch it. People would leave or lose bags, wallets on the subway, and they would be returned to them.

Don’t leave until you have a solid plan for how you’ll support yourself in old age.

And my aunt who is coordinating the trip was asking me during my medical leave, when I was going to pay for this family vacation? I feel like I am the only one struggling. I also felt like I was going to become homeless. My current job is the only job I had that would allow me the time off and some pay. Besides my daughters I know i don’t have a community.

Not many people want to just relax and enjoy this beautiful life God has given us. And I understand, because America is quite competitive. There is a complete lack of community here. Neighbors don’t even know you. Everything thing in the US is so expensive. Why is it so expensive just to live? I like to be in a place where people are able to relax after work, go to the night market for some laid back food, maybe a beer, and just enjoy each other’s company.

To remove the resentment, try to look at it as they tried to do what they thought was best for you (and it technically was). They gave you a life of options you wouldn't have if you stayed in Haiti. It's unfortunate you have debt but you're privileged to be able to earn money in a currency that can get you far in many other countries. You can go somewhere with a low COL work online and be able to pay down your debt plus there's other ways to pay it down. Lots of great resources on KZbin on how to lower debt. Stay positive cause the life these ladies preach is within your means. Get a pen and paper and start creating a plan. You got this!

I’m working on it, first step leaving the job that’s making me miserable and I was just telling my daughter like a week ago I don’t mind leaving the United States!

[@sabrinawhite7185]

[@tinker2217]

I live in FL. Never seen snow in my life lol. Yes, you can live without Winter.

[@temarica]

Born and raised in California. I love the things you talk about. I’ve been feeling like the US is a horrible place to live for a long time. I’m ready to make my plans to leave. Thanks for your channel.

[@YogaBlissDance]

You both seemed so relaxed- this video was inspiring it was simple but heartfelt and covered all the points, nice to also see the two of you in the same room-- I think we did on the cruise too...Also loved when Roshida said "this is why I can't" change it to "how can I?" That's my mindset too...ask yourself the RIGHT QUESTIONS to get helpful answers.

[@shoot4themoon406]

Exactly! How?! I know it can be done. The question is how can i?

[@AjahChanell-p7l]

You ladies are absolutely beautiful ! I have been suffering recently. I started going to church and therapy recently and that has allowed me to me to see many things about myself , my mental health, and my happiness. I’m working as a nurse in Atlanta and I have been depressed for years . Literal spiritual warfare . I have a home okay? And everyone says what you said people make it seem like “you made it.” I’m grateful but I’m still unhappy because I’m stuck in a crowded rate race being forced to work to pay for my home . I’m in mounds of debt . Dating in Atlanta is a different story and I have been praying for God to set me free . Set me free physically , emotionally, spiritually. Living in the US is a very miserable place and I am so glad I have my family at least. I can’t afford health insurance and neither can my mom and that breaks my heart , I had to go to the urgent care and choose between services and medications for my health issues . & There is so much pressure here especially where I live and I feel so stuck . I been researching places to live outside the United States and I am so glad I found this community. I pray one day I can own property and live outside the United States . Please pray for me .

[@mknowles2090]

So I have watched this video more than once and attended the 2023 Summit. I watch both of these ladies' videos and I am on the road to my departure. Thank Stephanie and Roshida🤩

[@AngelaSmith-hm9lp]

Yes, I'm also here after the election. Thank you Roshida and Stephanie, this is exactly what I was looking for. Day 1. I don't know how, where or when but I will figure it out.

[@GoodVibesNewlevel2023]

I love Stephanie. She is so down to earth and humble ❤

[@stephaniebell8217]

We really have to change our mindset about living well and healthy

[@mitudesalegn8117]

Yep you are telling the truth

[@anonymousgirl799]

Thanks so much for this video. I am a Black Female who requested to join your Facebook Group just now. Single, no kids, have Passport, really want out of America, and need guidance. Look forward to connecting!!! Thank you ladies!!!!!

[@angelajohnson5336]

omg, Rashida I took care of my dad until his death. I have 6 other brothers and sisters, not one of them stepped up. Now that my father has passed away, I feel so lost in life. like i feel like im all alone in america. I am ready to go.

[@angelajohnson5336]

Im sorry for the misspelling of your name Roshida

[@stoldgarjax7729]

small steps. It's so hard to find people that want to travel and hang out.

[@goldilocks_locsdreadlocks739]

Your not alone. My fiance passed. I feel sad too. Everyday

You were a good daughter and you will be blessed for taking care of your dad.

Mauritius is the one! I can't wait. Been living in the Caribbean (I'm from the US) but just moved back to Brazil with my 2 youth

[@mzchievious]

How was your move with little ones? I have an 8 year old and have been looking at strategies to move out of the country

[@inquisitive4928]

When you mentioned the sense of community outside of the US, that really made me feel warm & fuzzy and washed away a bit of the fear I am experiencing. I'm actually space-bagging my clothes watching/listening to you ladies, when I start packing here and there that's when the irrational feelings hit me. Stephanie, I saw one of your videos for the first time, I think about 2 weeks ago and was like, "Huh?! For sure I'm outta here before I even sign up to housesit. I appreciate you!

[@reneespearsemanuel-storyte8512]

I just returned from Okinawa and saw myself living outside the USA. Exciting, novel idea. Ty!

[@timab5302]

A lot of golden nuggets in this video. I shared about 9 times. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@spiritualthoughtleader429]

Love you guys. I’ll be in touch! I want in!!!

[@tenacious1]

I'm open to the idea of leaving the US. Especially with how things are here.

[@Childfree_Jerra]

I love this conversation, & I'm currently making plans to get out of the "United" States soon!! I just wish Facebook Groups had their own app...so I can bypass my general feed & jump straight to the content I'm interested in. Lbvs!

[@ImOnTheRoadLiving]

Honestly. I separated from my ex husband giving him the house we have 4 kids together and I moved into a Rv. I purchased a bus a few months ago to start a business now I’m about to move on the bus to save money. We will be relocating in February because I’m done here ready to live my dream life Sadly he won’t allow my 3 boys to come but he’s more than capable to take care of them. This was suppose to happen last year it’s my mission to make me happy although I love my babies. Time to do something for my mental health and peace❤❤

[@hazelnalls6719]

This does make me look at life differently. Kudos

[@exodussummit]

Hey, thanks for watching! It means a lot that you found the video impactful.

[@user-wo2mi3iz9h]

You ladies are saving lives by changing mindsets and revealing the truth of possibilities for a better life and mental wellbeing ❤

[@angelacalvin5790]

Loved this. Ha yall be cracking me up. " We don't care ". I hear that! Black women don't have to be saviors and martyrs. We can live our best life and prioritize ourselves for once. My wife and I are on the path to Mexico currently. We're both overwhelmed and excited lol. Thank you for this video of encouragement ❤

[@kamayahisrael]

This sounds wonderful 🎉

[@dama_shares]

I love this community. I first learned about Stephanie in 2021 while on a trip in New York. I am participating in the 2024 Exodus Summit online!

[@delaciwoods8864]

I’m happy for you guys I’ve been feeling that way for long time

[@IsaacNYC212]

42:32 “Listen, you can type it out if it’s going to make you feel better.” 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tashas9531]

I'm going to co-sign with Roshida and Stephanie about men. Don't worry about being lonely or not finding a man in another country. As a former military member who lived overseas, men from other countries tried to shoot their shot. Don't let that be why you stay in the U.S. Men are men and they'll try whether you're in the US or not.

[@Jesusislovingu]

I love this , thanks for sharing. Lord thy will be done while I still put you first 😮 and do ministry.!

[@th546]

Can you please do a step by step video on the process to live abroad?

[@m.hollins7263]

Someone said, "You must leave (a job) to level up". I think they're right. Thank you ladies!

[@OfficialUrbanLoungeMusic]

Kudos to you two!!!!

[@vickicampbell2736]

Proud of your strength and really living life

[@lindapowell8988]

I love this , I need the blue print please, I work at the Railroad and I have eight years left for retirement and I will be 67 years old and the company is laying off and providing buyouts so there are no guarantees. Next chapter, please I am single no children and I have bought a condo and a lot of debt.

[@No1YanniLover]

Just my 2 cents but as I read your comment....my immediate thought was: 1. Sell your condo 2. Take the surplus (if any) to pay off your debts 3 .Use your savings to begin to fund your new life abroad (its much cheaper to live in other countries

[@Wyntrborn]

Yes...sell that condo. You sneeze and they go up on HOA fees. Blessings to you.

[@lawanaj]

Rent your Condo out through property management company and move abroad for a year. Do a remote job while living abroad.

[@tenten3718]

It is interesting to come across this. I hope this teaches those who are mean to others when they hear them speak with a different accent than them to give respect to other people. You know what, each person have their own reason why they are where they’re respect their presence and respect them. I am intrigued about this and to hear these women talk and I respect their move but for those people who dislike others based on where they come from I hope this makes them widen their minds. Love each other because tomorrow might be your turn.

[@breeskilove4817]

Appreciate you ladies

[@MsLGC]

Happy and Free.... What a concept 🤯 Thank you ladies for continuing to spread this message

[@virtualcreativecollaborations]

♥️ Beautiful Blessings

[@alainajacobs3968]

💯 I love absolutely everything that yall have said. Do you have women in the real estate field in the Exodus Summit community? That is something that I am looking into pursuing so I can get the heck out of here (the USA) but still have a source of income while living abroad. I would love to know how that could be accomplished cause it is time for me to make a move. I love yall's example and your positive energy. Please keep doing what you're doing, ladies❤

[@Stephanie-007]
