The Expatsi Test.
A free quiz that matches you to countries based on how you want to live. Hundreds of thousands of people have reportedly taken it, as of mid-2026, and for good reason: it turns a vague dream into a named destination.
All comparisons
Nomad vs Expatsi
Expatsi tells you which country fits. Nomad gets you there.
Deciding and executing are different jobs. Expatsi's quiz answers the question 'which country fits me'. Nomad answers 'how do I actually get there', with the visas, taxes, and logistics in order, from any origin country.

Credit where due
What Expatsi is genuinely good at.
Founded around 2022 by Jen Barnett and Brett Andrews, Expatsi has helped a lot of people take the first real step.
Scouting trips.
Organized trips that let you feel a country before you commit to it. Sometimes the only way to know is to stand in the place.
It gets people off the fence.
Coverage from CNN and the Boston Globe brought the idea within reach for people who had only daydreamed about it. Naming a country is a real unlock.
The honest limit
Where the quiz hands off.
The output is a match, not a plan.
You finish the quiz with country matches: the where. The visa route, the tax timing, the shipping, the bank account, and the order it all has to happen in are still yours to figure out.
Deciding is the easy half.
Most people who stall did not stall on choosing a country. They stalled on the wall after it: the paperwork and sequencing that turns a match into a move. That is the part that keeps people saying 'next year'.
What Nomad does
The match becomes a move.
You answer a few questions and get a personalized step-by-step relocation plan in about 90 seconds.
The execution layer.
Visas, taxes, and logistics for your exact corridor, ordered by dependency, with guidance on every step. The plan is the product, which means you always know the next thing to do.
From any country, to any country.
Nomad is origin-agnostic. Whether you are leaving Toronto, London, São Paulo, or Sydney, the plan is built around your passport and your corridor, across 41+ destinations.

Answers, in plain English.
Anything we did not cover, write us. Real humans answer.
hello@nomadlifestyle.ioCan I take the Expatsi Test and then use Nomad?
Yes, and it is a genuinely good path. Let the quiz name the country, then bring that answer to Nomad and get the step-by-step plan for that exact corridor in about 90 seconds.
Does Nomad only work for people leaving the US?
No. Nomad is global by design. Any origin country, any of 41+ destination corridors. Your passport and your corridor shape the plan, wherever you start from.
Does Nomad also help me decide where to go?
Yes. Free destination guides, visa explainers, and cost calculators cover 41+ corridors, and the plan itself starts from a few questions about how you live and earn. If you want a dedicated matching quiz, Expatsi's is well liked.
