Hi, I’m Nate Howell—founder of MoveAbroadTours and a lifelong traveler who knows what it takes to turn the dream of living abroad into a real, sustainable lifestyle.

I’ve lived in Italy, Peru, Costa Rica, and Vietnam, and traveled extensively throughout Western Europe. But it wasn’t until I began doing my own scouting tours in Spain and Portugal—driving from city to city, exploring neighborhoods, comparing lifestyles, and meeting with local professionals—that I truly understood how important on-the-ground experience is when choosing where to live.

That journey is what inspired me to create MoveAbroadTours.

We specialize in immersive, information-rich scouting tours designed specifically for prospective expats exploring life in Spain, Portugal, France, and Germany. These aren’t sightseeing vacations—they’re about gaining clarity and confidence. Our tours include:

Neighborhood and housing tours to get a true feel for daily life.

Meetings with immigration lawyers, property lawyers, tax advisors, and tax attorneys, so you can ask questions and make informed decisions.

Insight into local services, infrastructure, and expat communities—everything you’d want to know before making a move.

Whether you’re thinking about retirement, remote work, or a fresh start abroad, MoveAbroadTours gives you the real-world exposure and expert guidance to make your move strategically—not blindly.

I’ve done the research drives, asked the tough questions, and figured out what works—and now I want to help you do the same.

Let’s explore your next chapter, together.
