About AbroadAtlas
Transparent information and tools for people planning their life abroad.
Our Mission
We help people make informed decisions about living abroad – through transparent data, honest comparisons, and no hidden costs. Everyone should have access to reliable information about cost of living, taxes, climate, and quality of life.
Our Story
AbroadAtlas was founded in November 2025 out of personal motivation: Many people dream of living abroad – whether for retirement, better quality of life, or financial reasons. But gathering information is often tedious, confusing, and time-consuming.
We experienced firsthand how difficult it is to find reliable data on cost of living, tax rates, and quality of life. Most information is outdated, incomplete, or hidden behind paywalls. We wanted to change that.
With AbroadAtlas, we're creating a central, free platform that consolidates all important information – transparent, current, and accessible to everyone. No hidden fees, no sales interests, just honest data and comparisons.
Our Values
Transparency
All our data sources are publicly visible. We clearly show where our information comes from and how current it is.
Community Focus
We build AbroadAtlas for real people with real emigration plans – not for investors or advertisers.
Quality over Quantity
We focus on high-quality, verified data from reliable sources rather than superficial mass information.
Accessibility
Our platform is free, ad-free, and available in multiple languages. Knowledge should be freely accessible.
What We Offer
Country Comparisons
Direct comparisons of over 24 countries by cost of living, taxes, climate, and quality of life
Personal Recommendations
Interactive quizzes help you find the best countries based on your priorities
Current Data

100% Free
No hidden fees, no paywalls, no advertising – just honest information
Our Vision
We believe that deciding where to live is one of life's most important decisions. This decision should be based on solid information – not on assumptions, outdated data, or commercial interests.
In the future, we want to expand AbroadAtlas into the most comprehensive and trustworthy platform for emigration information. We plan to add more countries, capture more data points, and develop tools that enable even better decisions.
Behind AbroadAtlas
AbroadAtlas is developed and operated by people who have gained international experience themselves and know the challenges of emigration planning.
