Why You Can’t Google Your Way Through a Move Abroad (No, Seriously, You Can’t)
from How to Move Abroad: Your Guide to Start Living Abroad · host Mistelle Godlewski
Everyone thinks they can “just Google” their way through a move abroad… until they’re eight tabs deep in contradictory visa articles, three breakdowns into Reddit threads, and somehow watching a YouTube video from 2014 about moving to Spain that hasn’t been accurate since Obama was in office.In this episode, I’m breaking down why Google cannot and will not give you the roadmap you think it will. We’re talking outdated info, missing context, bad advice, and the reasons the algorithm has no idea who you are, what you qualify for, or what country won’t immediately reject your poorly formatted resume.If you’re stuck in “I should be able to figure this out myself” guilt, this is the episode that frees you from that nonsense. We’ll get into what Google can tell you, what it absolutely can’t, and how to actually get clarity without losing your mind, your time, or your entire weekend to visa blogs with broken links.If you want real answers — not search results — let’s talk about why Googling isn’t your enemy, but it sure as hell isn’t your guide.Want support?
