About Us
We empower queer folks and families to move, live and thrive abroad.
The mission:
To empower LGBTQ+ folks, their families and allies to move, live and thrive abroad.
We are passionate about making international relocation accessible for queer and other non-traditional expats. In our vision of the world, anyone who desires to live abroad can find a way to do so - and thrive!
Freedom to Move: Through our International Relocation Strategy process, we help individuals figure out how to relocate to diversity-safe countries that have visas that match your personal and professional goals.
Freedom to Live: Through our Rainbow Relocation Network, we provide information and connections to relocation consultants and third party vendors who can assist you to find real estate, schooling, career / job search, and more to create a life for yourself abroad.
Freedom to Thrive: Through our expat consulting services based on our trademarked Five Freedoms Framework method, we help you learn how to fit in, handle challenges, and build a successful life in your new country.
Why Rainbow, Why Now?
For too long, queer and non-majority individuals have not been represented in the world of expat relocation, whether that be due to being left out of high-level leadership positionsn traditionally offered relocation packages, or lack of representation in media and culture (google ‘successful expat’ and you most likely will find images of wealthy white western cis-het men and their wealthy white western wives frolicking freely on the beach.)
That’s a post-colonial idea of expatriate life that no longer works for us.
At Rainbow Relocation Strategies, we want to tear down all the walls and barriers - in our mind as well as in the flow of information - that might keep queer folks from living and thriving abroad.
From our deepest hearts, we believe that if everyone would live abroad at least once and experience the world through different lenses, learning to communicate with people from different backgrounds and cultures, the world would a more peaceful place.
That is our mission at Rainbow Relocation Strategies - to create safe, fulfilling experiences where LGBTQ+ and non-majority expats can live freely and openly abroad.
We’ll help to get you there.
