Dandy Guide

Thinking about living abroad? Not sure where to start, or whether it's even realistic for you? Dandy is where that exploration begins. Years of dreaming about life abroad. Working remotely from cities across Latin America and Europe. Countless hours of research spread across travel blogs, online forums, and country-specific websites with no single place to bring it all together. That experience is what led us to build Dandy. One app. 14 destinations. Everything in one place. Dandy consolidates the information that matters most when you're exploring a move abroad: healthcare, cost of living, schools, visas, taxes, safety, and much more, organized by destination and city, with depth that generic cost-of-living tools simply don't offer. What makes Dandy different: • City-level data, not just country averages. Know what rent actually costs in one city vs another. • Transparent, intentional sourcing. We're clear about where information comes from and when it was last updated, including what the limitations of that data are. • Built for your life, not just your passport. Dandy personalizes destination recommendations based on what matters to you: family, healthcare, budget, lifestyle, and more. • Heritage and diaspora content. Have personal or cultural ties to a destination? Dandy includes dedicated content for communities with roots in the countries we cover. • Visa and tax guidance. Clear, accessible overviews of visa pathways and tax considerations for each destination, so you can understand your options before engaging with legal or financial professionals. We built this app because the resource didn't exist. Because the research was hard, the information was scattered, and the idea of moving abroad felt more complicated than it needed to be. Dandy exists to change that. To make the possibility feel real, the research feel manageable, and the first step feel within reach. Your life abroad starts with Dandy.
