About LIVABLE
With LIVABLE, you can experience a calmer way to decide where to live abroad.
Choosing where to live abroad is not primarily a research problem. It’s a decision problem.
At the beginning of the process, many people experience cognitive overload rather than clarity. They compare cities, consume large volumes of advice, and attempt to model every possible outcome. Instead of resolving uncertainty, this often increases it. The result is more information, but less confidence.
Livable was created to address this early stage.
We design experiences that replace abstract comparison with direct understanding. Rather than asking people to decide based on secondary information, we structure time so cities can be experienced in a consistent and deliberate way. This allows people to assess fit without pressure or premature commitment. The result is not just a decision made, but a life entered into with conviction and ease — settled, satisfied, and at home.
How we work
Structured experiences
Each experience follows a defined rhythm designed to reduce noise and support decision-making. The structure is consistent across cities.
Early-stage focus
Livable is designed for people at the beginning of the journey, before applications, relocation services, or long-term commitments. The emphasis is on determining suitability, not execution.
Experience-led
Information without experience tends to increase uncertainty. Livable prioritizes direct exposure over additional advice.
Independent and participant-first
We do not take commissions or promote specific outcomes. The goal is to support informed decisions, even when that decision is not to move forward.
Consistent structure, flexible expression
The structure of each experience stays the same, but how it shows up varies by city and participant. This allows space for different rhythms, needs, and levels of engagement—without losing the clarity that the structure provides.
Frequently asked questions
