What our clients say about our products
Here some of the 1,000 families we've supported share their experience (translated from German):
"The biggest and most amazing thing is simply this feeling of security I have now."
"I feel incredibly well looked after. Not just the usual blah blah of 'you have a community with us and we're there for you' – it's actually true. For every single topic I get help or someone who hears and sees me. And I think this security and feeling of being looked after is the only thing that carries you through."
Kira
32, single mother of 2 sons
"With their presence and knowledge, Kirstin and Martin gave us a big dose of courage."
Today we have a small apartment in Bavaria as our base, spend most of the year abroad, travel through Europe, work location‒independently and are free in all our decisions about where we want to live and when.
Sophia and Falko
"Having Mission Freiheit by our side gives us a lot of security."
"Where do I start, where do I stop – that was a mountain of questions for me. It was important to me not only to be guided on the facts, but also emotionally. I know that even if something emotional is holding me back – I'll be understood."
Vanessa
34, mother of a two-year-old son
"Not being alone with it – that's really worth a lot."
"At the beginning many people thought I was crazy for wanting to move abroad with three kids. Today I come across much more confidently and know exactly what I want – and nobody questions it anymore. Knowing that so many people have already done it makes me feel I can do it too."
Milena
35, single mother of 3 children

Ultimate knowledge & preparation if you're planning to move abroad.
We're part of the pilot round of the 6‒month group coaching "Mission Freiheit" and here too all the knowledge is worth every cent. The mix of a self-paced video course, live group calls where everyone can ask their individual questions, and expert calls on different topics (insurance, finances, visas, online business, etc.) is brilliant. And you also learn a lot from the questions & answers of the other community members.
Christina
Incredibly great tax consultation call with Eduard and Martin!
Truly exceptional expertise – no questions are left open. They go into your own situation individually and in detail and clearly lay out different options. I was especially impressed by how clearly and structured even complex tax topics are explained – even without prior knowledge. My tip: skip the long research on your own and book this consultation straight away. You'll save a huge amount of time, avoid mistakes and get exactly the information that's relevant to your situation in a short time – and you can act on it right away. I'm absolutely thrilled and can recommend Tabula Rasa and Eduard with his outstanding financial knowledge 1000%!
Konstanze
Tabula Rasa and the Mission Freiheit course are an absolute recommendation!!
We're super satisfied, happy and grateful to be part of such a great community.

Kirstin and Martin share all their knowledge and years of experience, support you with advice and action, and "along the way" a community forms in the course that exchanges ideas, supports each other and walks the path together.

So anyone who wants to move abroad and/or go travelling gets a great wealth of knowledge, concrete guidance and lots of practical life experience at Tabula Rasa.
"How cheeky to charge so little money for such a huge service!"
I've experienced many coachings over the last 20 years. These two are so competent, explain complicated knowledge so clearly, and you can put it into practice right away and know what to do when. This coaching changes lives, both on the facts and emotionally. There are so many offers on the internet. This one is so worth it!!!
Anika L.
"The tax freedom course is exactly right for anyone looking for a tax-free setup"
Especially on the US LLC topic, Martin shows step by step how to build a stable, legally sound tax setup. That way you can earn money internationally with a clear conscience.
Kevin
"Anyone thinking about moving abroad – please get in touch with Tabula Rasa."
"The challenge is that I have nobody to talk to about it. I could hardly bring it up with the people around me – the fear of not being understood was too big. Mission Freiheit didn't just give me knowledge, it gave me a family‒like atmosphere where I finally feel heard."
Elke
Grandmother of three from the Lüneburg Heath
"Kirstin and Martin never get tired of answering the same question for the tenth time."
"Now I know everything I can do – I've gained much more clarity. Before, moving abroad was just a word for me, but what does it actually involve? This feeling of family in the community, supporting each other and being there for each other – that's really great."
Melanie
Single mother of 2 children

Tax strategy consulting: I could leave with peace of mind!
I had several specific questions about properly closing things with the German tax office as a sole proprietor in the year I moved abroad. Topics like exit taxation, the last tax return, transfer of functions and possible pitfalls were on the table. My biggest worry was that I'd forget something or do something wrong. Eduard and Martin went through all these points with me clearly, in a structured, practical and understandable way. So at the end of the call I walked away with a feeling of clarity, security and a concrete roadmap.
Kathrin B.
First-class 1:1 consultation - highly recommended!
I had already had two consultations with other providers and done my own research on moving to Bali before I came to the 1:1 consultation with Kirstin and Martin.

The personal consultation and the summary afterwards are structured and give clear direction. My remaining questions and doubts were cleared up in the session and I got helpful contacts and links – basically everything I was still missing.

From my point of view you can feel that you really care about giving reliable support and not just selling something. Please keep it up.
Lara
Professionalism and heart come together.
I booked a consultation with Kirstin & Martin and was very satisfied.

The two of them could answer all my questions and also gave me a sense of security on an emotional level. I found the "follow-up care" especially useful.

A few hours after our call I was sent a very clear summary including further tips, useful links and contacts – just great! Thanks again!
"We now have a lot of clarity about what we want to do."
"We had no idea where to start. The legal situation was complex, the next step unclear. What Mission Freiheit gave us wasn't just knowledge – it was this regular exchange that brought more and more clarity."
Konstanze and Adrian
Family from Lower Saxony with an eight-year-old daughter
"Here you get the key to Pandora's box."
"Signing the deregistration form – that's just a small part of the truth. Only over the course of the six months did I understand everything that really comes with it. Martin and Kirstin have incredible knowledge – and I've become much more open to the things that are actually relevant."
Patrick
Father of two children
"Without this roadmap we would have thrown away €1,200."
We actually only wanted to travel for a year, but quickly decided we wanted to move abroad. We had a few special topics (property in Germany, investments, online business) that raised a lot of questions.
We would have got quite a few things wrong on our own, which would have cost a lot of money in the end. That's why we're very grateful to have saved a lot of money this way. We also got a complete roadmap for the child benefit we're entitled to until the end of the year, so that it still gets paid out. Without this roadmap we would have thrown away €1,200.
It's worth investing the money here to save in the end and do everything right.
Simone and Stefan
"This security gives us the freedom we've always wanted."
When we first had the idea of moving abroad, our planning had no structure at all and we struggled every day with contradictory statements in various online forums. We felt very unsure about taxes, deregistering our practice and residence, and compulsory schooling. When we saw the first videos of the two of them, we bought the Auswanderer Guide right away and were so excited that we booked the group coaching straight after. Within a very short time we had a clear roadmap for: documents, taxes, health insurance and school exemption. Today (1.5 years later), thanks to Tabula Rasa, we're perfectly prepared – no matter whether we're travelling internationally, living in Europe or visiting Germany.

"My US LLC was set up in 7 days."
The US LLC had been on my mind for a long time, but I kept pushing it aside because I thought: I'm hopeless with tech and my English isn't good – how am I supposed to manage this?

At some point I asked Kirstin and Martin – and now I've set up my US LLC in 7 days.
Alex A.
Starting point: Christopher works worldwide as a film director. He wanted to move to Thailand with his partner and build a watertight setup. His biggest worry was doing something wrong or still being taxed in Germany.
Solution: We supported both of them with their move abroad and built a tax setup that lets them work tax-free worldwide.

Great advice in the 1:1 and in "Mission Freiheit"
From the first 1:1 conversation to taking part in the program "Mission Freiheit", Kirstin and Martin have supported me with understanding, professionalism and honesty.

I feel very well looked after with all my questions about school exemption, travelling and moving abroad. Whether I need to laugh or cry, or ask questions several times, the two of them and the community are always there.

This is much more than just passing on knowledge, and it's especially helpful when you don't have the right people to talk to around you and want real knowledge. I'd use Tabula Rasa's consulting again and again and recommend it from the bottom of my heart.
Adrian B.
This information is worth its weight in gold
First we ordered the Auswanderer Guide. This information alone is worth its weight in gold for all our questions about compulsory schooling, moving abroad, long-term travel, tax liability and much more. That led us to a 1:1 session with the two of them. Really well structured, with a summary afterwards and tailored to our situation. Now we've also joined Mission Freiheit, a 6‒month program with loads of input, weekly sessions, a community and lots of goodwill and support with whatever is going on. We're very happy to have this support, it's even more fun together!
Daniel Winter
All you need package
Thanks to Kirstin and Martin we were able to gain enormous knowledge about moving abroad, compulsory schooling, taxes, online business and minimalism. The "Auswanderer Guide" alone was worth every cent and clearly showed us the options. With "Mission Freiheit" we feel perfectly prepared – videos, live calls, expert knowledge and community support are simply top. Competent, authentic and with heart: If you're planning to move abroad or take an alternative education path, Tabula Rasa is exactly the right place. Highly recommended!
Starting point: Celia wanted to fulfil her long-held dream of travelling in a camper van.
Solution: In our group coaching she got all the relevant information to cleanly cut her ties with Germany. She mainly travels between Spain and Germany and works location-independently and tax-free as a graphic designer and online marketing manager.
Celia
If, as a parent, you want an experienced relocation consultant by your side who takes you by the hand and answers every question 100%, so you feel strengthened, confident and well looked after, then join the Mission Freiheit waiting list for free now!
Tatjana
We can only recommend the 1:1 consultation with Martin, Kirstin and the whole Tabula Rasa team.
The book is an important basis for us, like a foundation (I think it will help us many more times:) and the consultation afterwards helped us feel even more confident in our personal decisions along the way.

Thank you for being there and sharing your path and your knowledge in so much detail.
Bella
So valuable! There's really nothing to criticize.
The two of them are so kind, considerate and understanding.
They prepared really well for our appointment. All questions could be answered. We'd already had various appointments with tax advisors before, but the consultation here would have replaced all of them. The summary after the consultation is also a great extra service. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you all the best ❤️
Antonio
Yesterday's consultation was really strong.
Yesterday's consultation was really strong. No blah blah, no empty promises...clear, honest, straight to the point.

We felt that there was someone sitting there who really understands where you stand, and doesn't just rattle off a standard script.

Very human, very present, highly recommended.
"Luckily we found these two wonderful people"
When we decided to go travelling, we had lots of question marks. What has to be done, re‒registered and taken care of, when and how, to even make it possible? Luckily we found these two wonderful people. After the consultation we could put our plan into action with many questions answered. Plus lots of extra information from the two of them that you just get on top. We have extremely competent contacts in case more questions come up. Without them we wouldn't be as confident on many topics, especially compulsory schooling and deregistering from Germany.
Thank you for your work and for who you are. Highly recommended!
Annika & Lars
"Thanks to their help and knowledge we sold everything, turned our lives around and set off within 3 months"
Last autumn we decided: something has to change! We felt trapped in the system, in structures and rules that not only didn't feel good, but literally made us sick. We really only wanted one thing: freedom. To decide freely, live freely, be free. By chance we came across Kirstin and Martin and, thanks to their help and knowledge, we sold everything, turned our lives around and set off as a family within 3 months.
They showed us how to actually put into practice everything that had been on our minds for so long. Clear, simple and tailored to us. Today we travel through Europe with our 4 kids. Free, self‒determined and at our own pace. By now we can't imagine it any other way. It was so worth it and we're incredibly grateful that Tabula Rasa came into our lives at the right time.
Alexandra & Kai
Lau Ra
Highly recommended!!
Not only from the heart, but also purely factually a very well prepared course. I could work through it in one day and, even though I've been dealing with the topic for a while, I still gained new insights.

I especially like the short, precise videos without unnecessary talk – everything is very much to the point and clearly explained.
An absolute must for anyone interested in a tax-optimized life abroad. 🙏👍
Steffi B.
Finally no more question marks in my head
Today I had a wonderful and insightful 60-minute call with Martin. Thank you so much. Every one of my questions (and more) was more than answered and I'm super glad I chose this shortcut.

Because I simply don't have the time to research myself and spend hours listening/reading etc. – I'd rather invest that time in my work and kids and this way everyone does what they do best – and I think the two of them really know everything about moving abroad and travelling permanently.
Anja B.
Yesterday we had our relocation coaching with Tabula Rasa and are simply grateful for this experience
From the very first moment we felt understood and well looked after. The two of them are incredibly authentic and warm – exactly the right mix to open up with all your questions. The process was super pleasant: our prepared questions were answered step by step, and at the same time there was always room for anything else that came up in the conversation. So we left the coaching with a clear feeling, lots of new ideas and very concrete answers.
Annika H.
Finally we see clearly
Thanks to Kirstin and Martin we feel super prepared for our upcoming long‒term trip.

No matter what question we had, they could both answer it straight away and we got lots of super important tips on how to save money long-term.

These tips alone basically pay back your investment. Because we were so excited, we signed up as affiliate partners straight away so that many more people hear about Tabula Rasa.
Stephanie K.
Heartfelt recommendation
I haven't been following Kirstin and Martin on Instagram for long, but I was immediately impressed by the mix of absolute expertise and approachability.

I first treated myself to a free resource, then the guide and a 1:1 consultation. From the bottom of my heart I recommend these offers!

I felt very well advised and now have even more clarity and a plan!
Sebastian S.
Far more than expected – a real recommendation!
Honestly, for the price we expected half at most – but Tabula Rasa delivers double. The answers: well thought out, concrete, helpful. The team: relaxed, clear, with noticeable expertise and a very healthy mindset.
You feel taken seriously, not talked at. A strong alternative to the usual suspects – actually a real insider tip.
"From the basics to the US LLC – finally everything understandable"
It was super important to me to deregister cleanly from Germany and not fish around in any grey areas.

That's exactly what the course delivers: well-researched tips & strategies on a legal basis – recorded in 10-minute videos.
Oliver D.
"Very well explained, even for people who know nothing about taxes"
The course is suitable for anyone who wants to understand taxes and wants to leave Germany.

All aspects are covered, so you know what's what and don't run into problems.
Stefanie W.

I took part in the online seminar and am now even more motivated to put my travel plans into action.
Thanks to their expertise and personal experience, complex steps and topics were explained simply. You get a good overview with the first steps.

Questions are also answered and you can feel how much passion and joy the two from Tabula Rasa put into the project and into us as future travellers. You don't get the feeling it's only about money. They're real people who want to inspire and help.
Kirstin & Martin are 100% authentic, honest and super likeable!
I've been following them on Instagram for a while and already have some prior knowledge about travelling (we've been on the road for 6 months) and moving abroad, and I knew right away that I'd still get a lot of valuable information from them.
I first booked their webinar (already incredibly packed with valuable input) and bought the 4-day intensive workshop right during the webinar.
It was more than worth it! All my remaining questions were answered, the group was small and the exchange was therefore intense and valuable. Kirstin & Martin have incredible and, above all, applied knowledge, because they live what they teach!
Anna
Experienced, competent and sincere consulting and support with passion
All-round package for families planning long-term travel or moving abroad. Experienced, competent and sincere consulting and support with passion. Warmly recommended!
I took part in the webinar and the intensive workshop and will certainly use more offers.

The Auswanderer Guide is very comprehensive. There are lots of helpful tips, links and recommendations for other contacts who specialize in certain aspects. I'm looking forward to more exchange in the inner circle. Keep it up!
A. N.
A huge help in the relocation jungle
I'm so incredibly grateful for Kirstin and Martin. I'm already a "repeat customer" and have attended a webinar and downloaded a few e-books.
Kirstin and Martin put a lot of love into their work and know so incredibly much, even about things that didn't affect them personally (like the legal situation in the different German states, or family constellations).

I feel very well looked after with them and will certainly book more e‒books and webinars.
Stephanie Stömmer
Kirstin and Martin are incredibly warm
Kirstin and Martin are incredibly warm, approachable and very open. I booked the webinar "Auswandern mit Kindern" and the intensive course directly with them and I'm absolutely thrilled!

Responses came quickly and no questions were left open. Their extensive knowledge and honest insights into their lives are incredibly valuable.

They can really help anyone! I'm endlessly happy to have met the two of them.
Sonja Reich
Successfully moved abroad with family
I first bought the Auswanderer Guide and it was so well-founded and clearly structured that I booked the travel group.

Now I'm travelling with my family. I'm a lawyer, but didn't have the time to gather all the knowledge about moving abroad myself.

So before that I tried to inform myself in various forums. I quickly noticed that half-knowledge and wrong information were circulating everywhere. Luckily I stumbled across a video from Tabula Rasa.

I can only recommend to everyone to treat themselves to the most important thing for moving abroad/travelling: well-founded information that fits your individual life situation. All I can say is, we're on the road and 100% satisfied.
S. F.
Competent, likeable companion on the way
We're so happy to have come across Tabula Rasa while preparing for our trip.

As a family you have so much on your plate with the planning that it's an indescribable relief to get all the knowledge you need served up deliciously prepared;)
On top of that it's simply a relief to know you have someone with this expertise behind you.

They take time for individual questions and help within a few hours, even months after the weekly program. Thank you so much:)
R. K.
Thank you for supporting us on our path – it was once again an important stage for us.
Kirstin and Martin have a huge wealth of experience that they pass on with so much clarity, empathy and structure. I was impressed again by how well-founded and comprehensive their knowledge is – and how they manage to work out exactly the points that matter most for our situation right now. I felt understood and strengthened. New perspectives opened up and concrete next steps became visible. Exactly what I want from a consultation.
Carolin
Absolutely thrilled after the intensive workshop with Kirstin and Martin in March.
I'm super grateful for all the time, great input and support from the two of them. It totally exceeded my expectations and is worth every penny. I took away so much and am still in touch with Tabula Rasa.

Kirstin and Martin have super broad knowledge, are absolutely authentic, meet you as equals and support our personal process with school exemption, mindset and minimalism. We're also already prepared in case we do move abroad. Everything feels much lighter now. The two of them are our tailwind. Thank you for who you are!
Christina F.
Martin and Kirstin are simply great!
Not only very likeable and compassionate, but also very competent.
I can recommend a consultation with them without reservation.
They passed on valuable knowledge and we felt strengthened after the consultation.
Thanks again!
Vanessa T.
Absolute heartfelt recommendation!
Der ultimative Auswanderer Guide is by far the most valuable book I've read on the topic so far! And when the time comes for us to take the step, I know this book will be with us and I'll feel completely safe:)

All of Tabula Rasa's e-books are incredibly well written, to the point, clear and truly add great value – and so human and approachable, as if a good friend only wanted the best for me. Thank you for creating this value – from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Sommer
Structured, helpful, inspiring – a guide with real practical value
Thank you so much for this valuable offer! I was already thrilled after the webinar – informative, inspiring and practical. That's why I decided on the Ultimate Relocation Guide straight away. The response came promptly as always, and access worked smoothly. I started with the chapter on minimalism – a great start! Clearly structured, motivating and full of helpful ideas. You can tell right away how much passion and experience is in every section. I'm looking forward to discovering the other chapters at my own pace and putting them into practice step by step.
