You’re Ready for More.
Ready for more peace, more freedom, and a life that actually fits. Whether you want to work remotely, live abroad, or finally take care of you, I’ll show you how to fund it using what you already know.
Because most of us didn’t leave just to escape… We left to finally start living.
Start Here
Hi, I’m Marcia, aka Marcia Unbound.
If you’re here, you’re probably dreaming of a life with more peace, more freedom, and way fewer shoulds.
Whether you want to live abroad full-time, travel more, or just stop feeling trapped by your zip code, I’ll show you how to fund that life using what you already have: your story, your skills, and your smarts.
Since 2014, I’ve been designing a location-free lifestyle through writing, coaching, and remote income streams. As a move-abroad advisor and remote income coach, I help women, especially black women who are Gen-Xers, solo travelers, and those navigating chronic illness, create their version of a freedom lifestyle, including location, financial, and time freedom.

Why Most Of Us Choose Life Abroad
Cost Savings That Change Everything
Many of us move abroad and discover that life just… costs less. In countries with a lower cost of living, you can often cut expenses by 20–50%, especially on housing, healthcare, and everyday essentials.
That means:
- Less pressure to overwork
- More time for you
- And the freedom to finally breathe financially
What could your life look like with fewer money worries and more room to actually live?
👉 Read this recent article where I share tips on how expats move abroad, cut costs and save money even while working fewer hours and earning less.
A Work-Life Balance That Actually Feels Like Balance
Nearly half of expats say their quality of life improved after moving abroad, and it’s not hard to see why.
- Fewer hours glued to a screen.
- Less stress.
- More time for yourself. For joy. For real rest.
Whether it’s slow mornings, passion projects, or just walking without your phone in hand… living abroad gives many of us the chance to stop rushing and start living.
What would you do with your time if your calendar wasn’t packed and your peace wasn’t negotiable?
New Cultures, New Connections, New You
Living abroad doesn’t just change your location, it expands your mindset.
You’ll encounter new traditions, languages, ways of thinking, and ways of living that shift how you see the world… and yourself. You’ll learn to listen differently. To connect more deeply. And to navigate daily life in a way that goes far beyond what travel alone can teach you.
This lifestyle will grow you in ways you don’t even see coming.

More Ways Than Ever to Work Remotely
Remote work and digital income opportunities have exploded, up 35% in the past year alone (2024 to 2025).
Whether you want to freelance, run a small online business, or keep your U.S. job while living abroad, there are more ways than ever to earn without being tied to one location.
The key is knowing how to turn the skills you already have into income.

A Life That Feels Better, Not Just Different
In many countries, you’ll find what’s often missing in the U.S.: affordable healthcare, fresh local food, and a daily rhythm that doesn’t run on burnout.
You might sleep better. Breathe easier. Hurt less.
And for many of us, that’s not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
When well-being becomes part of your everyday life, everything changes.

I’ll be sharing my personal experience, plus tips on meds, doctor visits, and managing chronic illness abroad, in an upcoming guide.
