Tad Hopp is joining us today! Tad is a sobriety coach for gay men, and he recently moved to Amsterdam on the DAFT visa. His story is about finally taking action after decades of waiting, getting on the same page as his husband, and building a new community abroad.
Tad and I are covering:
- Why he finally made the move (after ~30 years)
- His husband’s initial hesitancy and how he gradually came around, especially after seeing Tad take action
- The right timing: How the current political landscape and new access to resources played their roles
- Why the Netherlands DAFT visa was the best path
- How relationships can take time to align for big changes
- The move isn’t always smooth: pushing through the “what have I done?” phase
- Community and putting yourself out there is everything once you make it over
Big moves aren’t perfect. They're messy and uncertain, but waiting isn’t risk-free either. Tad’s advice: take the leap, figure it out as you go, and trust that it’ll all work out.
