Passport to Freedom is a podcast about reclaiming citizenship through descent and connecting with your heritage, and the real-world freedom that comes with it.
Hosted by Courtney Abroad, this show dives into citizenship through descent in Europe and how it opens the door to a completely new sense of freedom! From gaining the legal right to live, work, and travel freely across dozens of countries, to building a new life abroad rooted in belonging, each episode explores what’s possible with a Passport to Freedom.
You’ll hear practical breakdowns of the application process for countries like Germany, Italy, Croatia, and Ireland, interviews with people who’ve already made the move, and honest conversations about identity, ancestry, and what it means to start over somewhere new.
You'll also follow Courtney as she receives her dual citizenship to Germany, moves to Europe, and explores the freedoms that come along with it.
Whether you’re early in the research phase, desiring to connect with your heritage, or are already planning your move abroad, Passport to Freedom will help you understand not just how to get your second passport but how to use it to build a freer, more meaningful life.
