You've said you'll leave
for years.
After every election, every bad week, every dinner with the friends who say it too: “we should just leave.” A year later, same people, same conversation. The only difference with the ones who actually go? They stopped talking and started. That's where Terralma comes in: the real numbers a US citizen faces, and the first honest step instead of one more fantasy.
Complaining costs nothing: it repeats, dinner after dinner, and changes nothing. What costs is deciding. Going from “I should” to “I'm starting.” That's where Terralma steps in: not to compare one more country, but to make you take the first act.
Distance from your people weighs more than any tax rate. We start there, not with taxes.
The two never lead to the same country. Choosing already cuts half the map.
Your deal-breakers eliminate countries at once. Better to know before you fall for a destination.
A two-year trial and a forever move call for different visas, different structures, different countries.
There's no results screen at the end. The ranking is alive: it shifts with every mission, and you see exactly why one city rises and another falls.
8 missions, not a quiz
Origin, money, climate, your people, your trade-offs… We move in small blocks, never drowning you.
A Top 3 that sharpens
By the third mission, a first ranking appears. It tightens as you reveal yourself.
Reality-checks
Scenarios, not checkboxes. That's where you learn something about yourself.
You arrive thinking “Lisbon, probably.” You leave with a country you'd never have looked at — because it actually ticks what you said you wanted.
Low cost of living, light tax on foreign income, accessible residency. Nobody talks about it — and it's exactly what you described.
Surprise · free previewAnd behind every line of the ranking, the full file: real taxes, 2026 cost of living, the traps for your passport, the steps in order. The homework tells you where. The files tell you how.
For years, I was that guy at the table saying “I'm out of here” and never moving. Then one night I stopped talking and started. The homework is the questions I wish someone had asked me before wasting all that time complaining.
