💻 Living abroad

Living abroad without vanishing.

It's 3 AM here and 9 AM back home — now you can actually call your mom. An "I'm okay" every few days, as often as you choose, and your family stops texting to check on you.

A twelve-hour time difference breaks more calls than you'd think. Mi Estela knows what time it is where you are and where each of your people is, finds you coworkings, libraries, and cafés with wifi (libraries are free, quiet, and have outlets), and helps you figure out those first days in a city where you don't know a thing.

All of this already works

What Estela does for you when you live abroad

Safety is free. Always. Saying you're okay, that you've arrived, and asking for help will never cost a thing. Right now there's nothing paid here at all — it's entirely yours.

Good time to call

What time it is where you are and where each of your people is. It's 3 AM here and 9 AM back home — now you can actually call your mom.

Where to work today

Coworkings, libraries, and cafés with wifi near you. Libraries are free, quiet, and have outlets — and almost nobody thinks of them.

I'm okay

One tap every few days — you pick how often. Your family stops texting to check on you, and you stop feeling watched.

The new city

Pharmacy, grocery store, bank, doctor, and everything you need those first days in a place where you know nothing.

Others like you

Only if you open up, and only while you want to. Never your exact location, and to chat you both have to accept each other.

If things go wrong

Theft, doctor, lost, dead battery. You say what's happening and it walks you to the solution, with the emergency number for whatever country you're in.

Frequently asked questions

What does my family see?

Whatever you choose to share — usually the city and country, the local time there, and your last "I'm okay." Your exact location only if you turn it on.
