An increasing number of broke millennials are packing up their lives to move abroad—but how are they doing it? While having a comfortable financial cushion can certainly ease your transition abroad, it’s still possible to make the move with very little cash.
In 2004, a young woman found herself in a situation many recent grads can relate to. She had no money and no luck with job prospects.

There are a number of resources available for people looking to make the leap abroad, offering different types of assistance based on your needs. What the recipe ultimately boils down to is a little risk, networking, and some imagination.
Read the full story to learn more about this young woman’s experience and the different programs available to help you make the leap.
