Stop Dreaming, Start Living:
Your Blueprint for a Freer Life in Europe.
Stop Dreaming, Start Living: Your Blueprint for a Freer Life in Europe.
We guide expat-curious women 45+ to trade the pressure cooker of the lives for the freedom and community of Europe - NOW, not one day.
You’ve said it for years: "I'll move to Europe... someday."
But we know, deep down, that "someday" is a dangerous word. It’s a promise we make to ourselves that life rarely keeps.
We created the Test Drive brand because we know life can change on a dime.
This movement is about more than just a trip.
It's about making a bold, strategic choice to prioritize your health, freedom, and joy now.
We guide expat-curious women like you to trade the chronic stress of the familiar for the authentic community and vibrant lifestyle of Europe.
We are proof that the dream is possible, and we believe that the biggest risk is putting your truest life on hold.
Welcome to your blueprint for living out loud.
Cheryl’s Story: The Planner’s Leap
Spain had always called to her. From college memories to travel journals, it lingered like a love story unfinished.
But life – family, career, routine – kept the dream shelved.
As her kids got closer to leaving the nest, her dream started to resurface.
She embraced opportunities that might take her abroad - a resignation from her long-time career, selling her dream home, and being open to what was next.
Then grief hit. Her father passed way too soon. A dear friend, as well.
The message was clear: Stop waiting. Life doesn’t.
With her husband by her side, and her kids launching their own lives, she made the leap. She left the US and moved to Valencia.
Reclaimed her time. Her health. Her joy.
Her story is proof that when you take gradual, intentional steps toward your dream, you can not only live it, but also guide others to find theirs.
Now? She’s living the story she used to daydream about – and guiding others to do the same.
Tasch’s Story: The Gut-Feeling Leap
Unlike Cheryl, Tasch didn’t plan for years.
She woke up (likely in a per-menopause coma), clocked the housing market, and said:
Fk it. If not now, when?
Their Perth apartment had jumped $300k in just two years – the housing crisis felt like a trap, but it was actually their ticket out.
She’d never even been to Spain, but Valencia looked beautiful, and the culture felt easy enough to ease into.
So she packed up her husband and two dogs and moved.
But it wasn’t Valencia where she landed for good – it was Murcia.
A place most people overlook.
Untouched, real, and full of the kind of community and culture that makes you say:
"Why haven’t more people done this?"
Her story is proof that the right place often finds you when you take that initial leap of faith.
Now? She wants you to come experience it for yourself.
