A curated, small-group week abroad built around one question: *could I actually build a life here?* 2. Part vacation, part scouting trip, part guided relocation education. "I didn't book a trip. I booked a Relocation Retreat." See also: **the Normal Tuesday Test** · **a sovereign decision** The idea ## A vacation shows you a place as a visitor. *A Relocation Retreat shows you what life could look like if you stayed.* You keep everything you love about travel. We add the part a vacation leaves out. A vacation ### You visit. The best of a place, for a week. A Relocation Retreat ### You visit, and you scout.

Our promise ## We won't help you move abroad. *We'll help you find out if you should.* We don't sell visas, jobs or apartments. We give you an informed decision before a big life change, and a great week getting there. YesNoNot yet A sovereign decision can be any of the three. If you spend a week in a city and learn it isn't for you, the retreat worked. It may have saved you thousands of dollars and months of stress. Who comes The intentional mover ### You're already planning. You've done the research and narrowed your list. You want to test a city in person before you commit. The curious explorer ### You've dreamed about it for years. You're not sure it's realistic, where you'd go or what it would take. You want to find out, without pressure. Both belong here. You just start from different places. What makes it a Sovereign Sundays retreat ## Four things *in every week.* ### Real-life research You don't just hear about the cost of living. You walk neighborhoods, see real rents, shop at a local market, ride public transit and learn how healthcare and visas work. The heart of it is the Normal Tuesday Test: one ordinary day, lived like a resident. ### A real vacation A boutique or resort-style hotel, breakfast every morning, group dinners, culture and free time. Coffee country in Medellín, island days in Phuket. The research adds to the trip. It doesn't replace it. ### Room to ask about belonging Moving abroad isn't the same for everyone. Safety, community, dating and how people treat you all matter. You explore those questions with people who get why they matter, and with expats who live there now. ### A plan you take home Your Move Abroad Planner, two Planner sessions, a budget built from your own receipts and one-on-one time with Cam or K Redd. You leave with your answer, an 8-Week Sprint and a follow-up group call 30 days later. *Hosted, start to finish.* Cam & K Redd are with the group for every planned activity and reachable 24/7. From the day you book, you're part of a private cohort chat with the people you'll travel with. Your hosts ## We built the trip *we wish we'd taken.* ![Cam and K Redd, smiling together at an event](https://retreats.sovereignsundays.com/hubfs/cam-and-k-redd.jpg) We're Cam & K Redd. We left the U.S. in 2025 and built our life abroad. We started in Spain, then chose Medellín. Every city taught us the same thing: you can't know if a place fits until you've lived a normal day there. Cam spent years designing training programs for government, corporate and military teams, so each week has a clear structure. K Redd is a certified peer specialist who has spent years supporting people through hard transitions, so the emotional side of the move gets real care too. **4**suitcases **5**countries lived in **8**cities called home We write Sovereign Sundays for people asking how to build a borderless life. How joining works ## Three steps. *No application.* 1. ### Pick your retreat Open the Medellín or Thailand page and get the free brochure. It has the full week, a normal day priced out and where you'll stay. 2. ### Book a 15-minute call A Google Meet call with Cam about the week, the price and your questions. It's how we make sure the week fits you. 3. ### Reserve your spot If it's a good fit, you get a private link to pay your deposit. Pay the rest in monthly payments. Book a call before December 1 and you'll get first access when the 15 spots in each retreat open. Questions ## What people ask. Questions about one city? Each retreat page has its own. Or write to retreats@sovereignsundays.com. What is a Relocation Retreat? A curated, small-group week abroad that's part vacation, part scouting trip and part guided relocation education. You enjoy the place, see what everyday life there looks like, and leave with a plan for deciding what comes next. Do I need to be ready to move? No. Some guests are actively planning. Others have dreamed about it for years and want to know if it's realistic. Both belong here. Yes, no and not yet are all good answers. Can I come alone? Yes. Most people do. You can also bring a partner or friend and share a room. Who are these retreats for? They're designed with Black, Brown and queer travelers in mind, and anyone who wants to explore alongside them. We expect respect, and what people share in group conversations stays private. Is this a relocation service? No. We help you decide, not move. We walk you through the legal routes so you know your options, but it's education, not legal advice. A retreat doesn't guarantee a visa, a job, housing or a successful move. Where do I find prices, payment plans and cancellation terms? On each retreat page and in its brochure. Both retreats use a deposit, monthly payments and the same [refund policy](https://www.sovereignsundays.com/refund-policy).
