Know What To Do

From paperwork to packing, this course takes the overwhelm out of moving abroad - with a clear A-to-Z roadmap, practical tools that makes sense, and no fluff.

Empower Your Mind

Learn how to stay calm in the chaos, bounce back from culture shocks, and turn uncertainty into adventure - with tools that help you be ready for anything that your life abroad brings. 

Craft Your Life Abroad

You're not just changing locations - you're creating a life that feels like home and you're stepping into a new version of yourself.  

What if your dream life isn't "someday" - but it's just one decision away? 

It's time to stop waiting and start living the life you've always dreamed of.

Yup, let's go!

I’ve helped hundreds of aspiring expats, digital nomads, and adventurous souls pack up their dreams and turn them into reality — and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this:

You don’t just want to move abroad.
You want a life that feels like you — somewhere new, exciting, and meaningful.

Maybe you’re staring at your vision board, passport in hand, wondering:
“Where do I even start?”
Or maybe you’ve been deep in Google rabbit holes, bouncing between visa pages and housing sites, feeling like you need a co-pilot.

I’ve been there too.
Through my own whirlwind moves, travel highs and lows, and by guiding so many others — I discovered there is a way to move abroad with clarity, confidence, and ease (without losing your mind in the process).

That’s why I created Unpack Abroad — your go-to roadmap for everything from planning and paperwork to mindset shifts and creating a life abroad that actually feels like home.

Think of it as your travel-tested toolkit, your relocation compass, and your personal cheerleader all in one.

Because even if things feel overwhelming right now, you’re not meant to stay stuck at the gate.
Your new life is boarding — let’s get you on that flight!

Meet Veerle! 

I'm the founder of Unpackbyveer, international speaker, certified Travel Coach & Life Coach, and most importantly: a lifelong traveler at heart ✨

I’m originally from the Netherlands, but my curiosity for the world took over early. At 20, I packed my bags for Spain on my first solo move abroad — and I was hooked. Since then, I’ve lived in Cambodia, Australia, Portugal, and explored over 40 countries (and counting!).

Every place taught me something new — about the world, about others, and most of all, about myself.

Now I help others do the same: move abroad with confidence, create a lifestyle that actually feels like themselves, and turn relocation into a powerful life chapter — not just a logistical checklist.

"Vee’s extensive experience as a travel coach supported me heavily with my moves and I was able to successfully compartmentalise the steps to get from place to place with a really strong game plan.

Living oversees, trying to find my community and attempting to become closer to my dream life has had its challenges. I was a little bit lost and searching for inspiration and guidance, and when Vee joined me on my journey, I received everything I was looking for and more."

Moved from the USA to Germany

Veerle helped me think outside of my comfort zone. I was able to develop a plan to move to a new country and find solutions I wouldn't have considered before.

I've now achieved an actionable plan that is practical and I feel excited about!"

Joanna
