From Claire's scouting trips. She went to Nice without a checklist once. That's why Firefly exists.

You've done the research. Firefly is where it becomes a plan.

Three steps, each building on the one before. You can step back at any time.

Step 1 of 3

Explore

Choose the countries and cities you're weighing and compare them against your own criteria. You get a shortlist you understand, scored on what matters to you.

Countries
Scored on your criteria, up to 5 side by side.
Cities
Compared once the country is settled.
Roadmaps
One for each destination you're weighing.
Scouting trips
A checklist for what you need to verify in person.
Step 2 of 3

Plan

Work through the 14 stages, starting with the passport and visa questions that can veto everything else. You get one ordered plan, with every cost, contact and link in its place.

Tasks
Each stage broken into bite-size steps.
Notes
Filed under the country and stage they belong to.
Resources
The videos, guides and links worth keeping.
Contacts
The people you'll need, in one list.
Budget
219 line items, in two currencies.
Step 3 of 3

Execute

Set a target date and Firefly counts the days to your move, at your pace. You get a clear view of what's done and what's left, all the way to the day you land.

Milestones
Tracked one by one until moving day.
Target date
A reference point, not a deadline.
Checklists
Generated for you from your plan.

Your whole move abroad, organized.

“I'm a few years from my own move, weighing Portugal against France. I built Firefly because I needed it, and I use it every week.”

Questions people ask

What's included in Explorer?

The full planner. A 14-stage roadmap with a drafted action plan, checklist and cost estimate for each stage. A budget with 219 pre-loaded line items in your home and destination currency. Country and city comparison for up to 5 countries, scored against your criteria. Scouting trips, notes, contacts and resources, and 7 downloadable report types. One payment, lifetime access.

Which countries are covered?

Firefly launches with 15 countries covered in depth: Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, with visa, cost-of-living, healthcare and tax data curated by hand. More are added based on member demand. If your target country isn't covered yet, tell us. Requests shape what we add next.

What if I don't know where I'm going yet?

That's the starting line, not a blocker. The free tier scores the countries you're considering against your criteria and suggests others you may not have thought of, before you pay anything.

How does the AI roadmap work?

It turns your answers, plus current country data, into a written, ordered action plan for each of the 14 stages. You edit a draft instead of facing a blank page. The stages start with the passport and visa questions that can veto everything else, and you can work them in any order. It is not advice: Firefly gives no visa, legal or tax advice, and points you to a professional for the parts that need one.

Can I change my destination later?

Yes. You can keep a roadmap for each destination you're weighing and switch between them. If your criteria change, Firefly flags every stage that needs another look. And you can run the whole process again for a country you add later, or for your next move.

Why one-time pricing?

These moves take one to five years. A meter running the whole time is the wrong model. You pay $297 once and it's yours for this move and the next one. $297 is the early access price, and it never goes up for someone who has already bought.

What if it's not for me?

There's a 14-day money-back guarantee, and the free tier lets you compare countries before paying at all.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your answers, roadmap, budget, and notes are private to your account, and we never sell your information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
