Taraji Abroad.

Move Abroad Rentals is where I do the research for Canadians thinking about living abroad, so you're not piecing it together from a hundred open tabs. I pull together government sources, real costs in CAD, and the journeys of other Canadians and expats who've made the move — to make it easier to narrow down where you could actually afford to live and feel at home. It's a grounded starting point for your own research into cost of living, community, and finding a place to rent.
