FROM CLASSROOM TEACHER IN ASIA TO GLOBAL EXPAR ARCHITECT
Richelle Gamlam didn’t just stumble upon location independence—she engineered it from scratch. Over 13 years ago, she packed her life into a few suitcases and left the United States to teach English in China. What was meant to be a short-term adventure transformed into an international lifestyle spanning six countries, including Vietnam, Tanzania, Georgia, and Spain. Along the way, she navigated the complex realities of global living, ultimately transitioning from a traditional employment path to building a thriving, location-independent digital business. Today, based in Málaga, Spain, she proves that moving abroad isn’t an exclusive luxury for retirees or the ultra-wealthy, but a strategic reality accessible to anyone willing to design it.
“The world is far too big to stay in one place out of habit. You don’t need a fortune to move abroad—you just need a strategy.”
— Richelle Gamlam, Founder of Move Abroad Coach
