About Us – Meet SettleAway
At SettleAway, we know that moving abroad isn’t just about packing boxes or booking flights.
It’s about starting a whole new chapter — and doing it with clarity and confidence.
That’s why we created SettleAway: to make international relocation less confusing and a lot more empowering.
Why We Exist
Relocating to another country can feel overwhelming.
Visas, residency rules, budgeting, finding the right country — it’s a lot to manage.
We’re here to change that.
Our mission is simple:
Help individuals, families, digital nomads, and retirees relocate smarter, smoother, and with less stress.
Who We Are
We’re not a government agency. We’re not a law firm either.
SettleAway is a community-driven resource hub — built for expats, by expats.
Every guide, checklist, and tool we offer is designed to support you at every step. Whether you’re exploring your first move or planning your next, we’re here with experience-backed insights and practical resources.
A Personal Note from Our Founder
Hi, I’m Hermann, founder of SettleAway.
I’ve spent the last 45 years living and working in various countries. From visa runs to settling down, I’ve been through it all — and learned a lot along the way.
SettleAway is my way of giving back.
Each month, I personally write our newsletter. It’s filled with real advice, not sugar-coated fluff — because I’ve been in your shoes. And I want your transition to be smoother than mine was.
What We Offer
We’ve built SettleAway as a one-stop guide for everything relocation-related:
- Relocation checklists and planning tools
- Step-by-step visa and residency guides
- Budget planning and cost of living comparisons
- Digital nomad visa info for Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and more
- Expat stories and insights from around the world
- Country comparisons tailored for work, retirement, and family life
Our goal? To help you move abroad with fewer surprises and more confidence.
