Sample reports
Start with an example of the free Big Picture, explore all four full-length paid report samples, then move through selected chapters, magazine-style pull quotes, and specialized excerpts that show what the analysis actually feels like on the page.
These are illustrative samples generated from hypothetical customer profiles. Your report would be built around your own questionnaire answers, household, finances, health needs, work, priorities, risks, and practical constraints.

Country Match sample
Four countries worth investigating
See how Country Match turns questionnaire answers into four country recommendations, including fit signals, affordability, potential annual surplus, watchpoints, and focused next steps.
Deep Dive sample
One country, examined against one person's life
See how the Panama Deep Dive separates lifestyle appeal from permanent-move feasibility, then tests residence, budget, healthcare, family needs, climate, social fit, regional options, risks, and next steps against one household.
Compare sample
Two attractive options, one much clearer path to permanence
See how Compare weighs the same household against Japan and Portugal, including personal fit, a side-by-side budget, the Viability Index, healthcare, legal and tax questions, and the tradeoffs that ultimately drive the recommendation.
Action Plan sample
From fit and feasibility to execution
See how the France Action Plan starts with the questions that must clear before the move becomes expensive to reverse, then sequences residence, healthcare, schooling, finances, housing, pet logistics, professional verification, Plan B, and the first 90 days.
What customers say
“I went in assuming Portugal would be at the top, given my fluency in Portuguese. It came in second. Brazil was first, which I'd honestly never considered although it makes sense. Because it was built on my questionnaire answers — my budget, my health situation, wanting to be in a certain time zone — the reasoning made sense for me specifically. The fit scores made it easy to see how close the top four actually were.”
— Pedro Y., United States
“The report is long, but the scores told me what I needed to know at a glance. The “social fit” score was lower than I expected for the country I chose, and the section explaining why was the one I ended up rereading. It was genuinely very helpful.”
— Maria F., Canada
“I liked that it didn't just declare a winner. It scored each country on the categories that mattered for our kids and our budget, and we could see at a glance where each one pulled ahead.”
— Carlin B., United States
“I'd read plenty of blog posts about Mexico, but they were written for a general reader. This one was written around my answers. Because I'd said I was going to continue working remotely, it spent real time on how that would affect my visa and tax issues. I think this thing just saved me big time.”
— Phil R., United States

Country Match · Location Advantage
Country Match does more than identify destinations that fit your priorities. It also translates the same household spending range through each country's cost profile so you can see how much financial breathing room different matches may leave.
The figures shown here come from one fictionalized Country Match sample. Your results would use your own questionnaire, income, spending range, and matched countries.

Sample chapters
These excerpts let you see the writing and analysis without opening a full report. Continue into the complete sample chapter when you want to see how the subject develops.
Deep Dive · Panama · Sample chapter
The opening chapter shows the Deep Dive doing two jobs at once: making the strongest case for Panama and identifying the residence, tax, climate, healthcare, schooling, and family-cost questions that could still make the move fail.
Chapter 1 · Panama Deep Dive
Explore Deep DiveChapter 1
Panama is worth serious investigation, but it is not yet a clear choice for your permanent family home. Its strongest appeal is the combination of established support for foreign residents, private healthcare, U.S.-compatible working hours, and an approachable social culture.
The caution is practical: a durable residence route matching your current income and work has not been established. Panama can suit several of your preferences while still falling short of what you need to live there permanently.
Permission to visit, permission to work remotely, and permanent residence are different things. A temporary arrangement can support a period abroad without providing the security you want for a permanent move.
Compare · Japan vs. Portugal · Sample chapter
Chapter 3 shows why a half-flag difference can still be meaningful when the deciding factors are residence fit, spending expectations, language demands, and the parts of daily life the customer is least willing to compromise.
Chapter 3 · Japan vs. Portugal
Explore CompareChapter 3
Japan's 3.1 / 5 flags and Portugal's 3.6 / 5 flags are personal fit ratings, not rankings of country quality. Portugal gains most from practical residence fit and spending expectations, while Japan's strengths in dependable daily life keep the comparison competitive.
A country can lead on several attractive qualities and still lose ground when one heavily consequential requirement remains uncertain. A durable residence route for the whole household matters more than a collection of smaller lifestyle wins.
Portugal's broad monthly estimate is $3,598 versus $5,166 for Japan, about 30% lower. Later, the Viability Index widens the practical gap by showing that Portugal's overall path to lawful long-term living is substantially more workable for this household than Japan's.
Retirement Action Plan · Costa Rica
This fictional retirement sample tests the things that can make an attractive country workable—or make an expensive move unravel: residence, healthcare, actual costs, household arrangements, and the location you would live in day to day.
Explore retirement abroadYou can still enjoy nature without making remoteness the foundation of your daily life.
From the sample report
From the sample report · Chapter 3
Costa Rica is worth serious investigation for you, but it is not yet a green light for a permanent move. Your fully retired status, healthcare priorities, and interest in dependable living costs make it a plausible choice.
The distinction is between a country that can suit your life and a move that you can confidently carry out. Your actual income documentation, both spouses' residence arrangements, and a locally priced household budget still have to support the plan.
Costa Rica has both public and private healthcare, with many specialist and private-hospital services concentrated in and around San José. For a household that places substantial weight on healthcare, that makes a service-connected first testing base more useful than choosing a beautiful remote location first and solving medical access afterward.
LGBTQ+ relocation · two personalized supplements from one Action Plan
These two excerpts come from the same Spain Action Plan. One focuses on LGBTQ+ legal, social, privacy, identity-document, and community questions; the other separately addresses specialized healthcare needs selected in the questionnaire. Both show how Action Plan adds depth only where the customer's answers call for it.
Personalized supplement · Spain · pp. 170–183
A questionnaire-triggered assessment of relationship recognition, identity documents, social acceptance, safety, privacy, community, regional variation, resources, and practical arrival steps.
“Spain is broadly favorable for the LGBTQ+ issues you selected, with strong relationship rights, substantial legal protections, and meaningful opportunities for community and ordinary daily acceptance.”From the Spain sample reportView LGBTQ+ supplement
Specialized healthcare supplement · Spain · pp. 184–188
A separate continuity plan for independently selected HIV-related care and gender-affirming healthcare needs, including medication, specialists, privacy, payment, handoffs, and first-90-days checks.
“Because you marked this care as essential, a favorable national environment is not enough: you need an accepting team and a workable funding plan.”From the Spain sample reportView healthcare supplement
