Why Americans Are Really Leaving: Article in The World

Public radio program The World covered the growing wave of Americans building lives overseas, and our co-founder Jana is part of the story.
The piece follows several Americans who made the leap, including a Texas couple who relocated to Leiden after the 2024 election, a lawyer who found a new sense of home in Senegal, and a family navigating life in Denmark. It also looks at the numbers, citing a 2025 Gallup poll showing 1 in 5 Americans would like to leave for good, with that figure climbing even higher among younger women.
Jana is quoted on why GTFO Tours exists: people needed more than a daydream. They needed a detailed, ground-level view of what life in the Netherlands actually looks like and introductions to the people who can make a move real. The article also features a photo of Jana guiding clients through Den Haag.
It's a good piece to read if you're still in the research phase. The stories are honest about the challenges too, not just the appeal.
