Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving to America may seem quite a straightforward transition as expat re-locations go. After all, they speak English, right? However, there are still many things that are lost in translation and it can be frustrating trying to find familiar foodstuffs, especially when catering for a family. This book covers it all... and not just the obvious pitfalls of differing pronunciation! This guide is written with several uses in mind. For the nervous newbie expat trying to plan for an upcoming move it provides plenty of detail on the US shopping experience, where and how to shop, the key differences by food group, holiday-specific food shopping, suggested alternatives to British favourites and ways to obtain the things-you-just-can't-do-without! There is a particular emphasis on easing the transition for families with children, with kid-friendly favourites included and a whole chapter on babies and kids. There is also a chapter for people with restricted diets. Usefully, the author has included a couple of suggested shopping lists... one to help the newly arrived expat survive the first few days in temporary accommodation, and a more detailed list to help restock your pantry with the things you need! The book is also written to be used as a reference book that can be picked up and used as the need arises... where on Earth can I find marzipan? For this purpose there is a clickable, alphabetical keyword index that will enable the reader to find the relevant answers quickly. An invaluable resource for the new and seasoned Brit abroad!

Download or read book Brave ish written by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At forty, Margaret quits her sales job to follow her husband’s hotel career to Paris. She’s setting sail on this adventure with a glass half full of bravery, a well-traveled passport, a journal in which she plans to write her novel, and the mentally engrained Davis Family Handbook of Rules to Live By. Everyone tells Margaret she’s living the dream, but she feels adrift without a professional identity. Desperate to feel productive and valued, she abandons her writing and throws herself into new roles: perfect wife, hostess, guide, and expatriate. When she and her husband move to Cairo, however, the void inside she’s been ignoring threatens to engulf her. It’s clear that something needs to change, so she does the one thing she was raised never to do: asks for—and accepts—help. Over the next fifteen years abroad, the cultures of Egypt, Thailand, and Singapore confront Margaret with lessons she never would have learned at home. But it’s only when they move back to Chicago—with Margaret now stepping into the role of perfect caretaker to her parents—that she has to decide once and for all: will she dare to let go of the old rules and roles she thinks keep her safe in order to step into her own life and creative destiny?

Download or read book The Global Expatriate s Guide to Investing written by Andrew Hallam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploit your offshore status to build a robust investment portfolio Most of the world's 200 million expats float in stormy seas. Few can contribute to their home country social programs. They're often forced to fend for themselves when they retire. The Global Expatriate's Guide to Investing is the world's only book showing expats how to build wealth overseas with index funds. Written by bestselling author, Andrew Hallam, it's a guide for everyone, no matter where they are from. Warren Buffett says you should buy index funds. Nobel prize winners agree. But dangers lurk. Financial advisors overseas can be hungry wolves. They don't play by the same set of rules. They would rather earn whopping commissions than follow solid financial principles. The Global Expatriate's Guide To Investing shows how to avoid these jokers. It explains how to find an honest financial advisor: one that invests with index funds instead of commission paying windfalls. You don't want an advisor? Fair enough. Hallam shows three cutting edge index fund strategies. He compares costs and services of different brokerages, whether in the U.S. or offshore. And he shows every nationality how to invest in the best products for them. Some people want stability. Some want strong growth. Others want a dash of both. This book also answers the following questions: How much money do I need to retire? How much should I be saving each month? What investments will give me both strong returns, and safety? The Global Expatriate's Guide To Investing also profiles real expats and their stories. It shows the mistakes and successes that they want others to learn from. It's a humorous book. And it demonstrates how you can make the best of your hard-earned money.
