Life Beyond Borders: Live with Kimberly Ann

What does it take to turn your dream life abroad into reality—without going broke?

On this episode of Your Expat Life LIVE, host Sonaya Williams talks to Kimberly Anne, founder of Expat on a Budget, about her journey of leaving behind a high-expense U.S. life to create freedom and meaning in Portugal. They dive into how she navigated her first solo move without a support network, embraced van life to simplify, and now helps others do the same without sacrificing joy or security.

We’ll explore:

• How to plan a move abroad on a lean budget

• What life actually looks like one year in—and what surprised her most

• The mindset shifts that matter more than money

• Why “going slow” sometimes means gaining speed

If you’re dreaming of relocating—but worries about finances or logistics keep holding you back—this conversation will give you the roadmap, courage, and practical clarity to lean into possibility.

Meet Kimberly Ann

Kimberly is a U.S. expat living in Portugal who built her life abroad by design—not by luck. Previously a digital nomad and van‑lifer, she’s now helping others create freedom on a tight budget.

Through her Substack Expat on a Budget, she shares honest stories, actionable tips, and the mindset shifts needed to thrive overseas without draining your bank account. Kimberly’s path has been far from conventional: she moved to Portugal solo, without having visited first, and then embraced van life for a season. Now, she lives abroad while making intentional choices to stretch every euro.

Whether it’s minimalism, budgeting hacks, or community building, she meets you where you are—with grit and realness.
