Download or read book Living Abroad written by Jim Santos and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "LIVING ABROAD is a useful, honest, laugh-out-loud funny guide for anyone who's considering a move from the United States to a new country. The author's years of experience both as an expat and as a writer make for a book that is truthful, realistic, funny, and sensitive. Even though I'm not currently planning to move overseas (although now I'd seriously consider it!), .... truly a pleasure to read. " Elizabeth P., Elite Editor.Although good numbers are hard to calculate, reliable sources estimate that more than 3 million Americans each year decide to try living in another country. Most of them are not making a political statement; some move abroad for economic reasons, some to start a new life or "re-invent" themselves, and some are just seeking new experiences. In the wake of COVID-19 and contentious politics, that number is likely to increase. With over 200 published articles in the international travel/retirement field, three books about travel, and a dozen presentations at international retirement conferences on his resumé, the author is uniquely qualified to bring you an unvarnished look at the challenges, pitfalls, and possible rewards of expat life. This is not a how-to book, or even a why-to. Instead it is an honest look at some of the questions and myths about living overseas, using entertaining and informative real-life examples to illustrate what is true and what is not so true. The goal is to provide the reader with the good and the bad - not to persuade you to become an expat or not - but to give you enough insight to decide what might be best for you.

Do I have a temperament suited to the expatriate life? 3. Am I considering emigrating for the right reasons? 4. Would I be best placed staying where I am? 5. Where in the world, home or away, am I likely to be happiest? 6. What factors should I consider when choosing my new country? The whole life abroad dream seems great, and yes, moving overseas can lead to a healthier, happier, richer life - but many expats still return home each year with their dreams and finances in tatters.

Download or read book Preparing for Your Move Abroad written by Rona Hart and published by Kuperard. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, step-by-step guide is designed to prepare you for your move abroad and to enable you to manage the transition effectively. Alone in the market, it combines the practical, cultural, and psychological aspects of relocation, and helps to allay the fears and reduce the stresses that accompany this major event in a person’s life. Preparing For Your Move Abroad follows a typical relocation timeline, taking you from your first step – the decision to move – to your integration into the host society, and through every step between these two points. Uniquely it offers: * A strong knowledge base for every stage of the relocation journey* A strategy to manage the issues at hand* Psychological preparation* An action plan, presented through exercises, practical steps to consider, checklists, and many easy-to-use tools It deals with the challenge of change by pulling together the practical, cultural, and psychological aspects of relocation and addressing them at each phase of the process. This distinctive approach helps you to develop three essential skills: systematic organization, cultural flexibility, and psychological resilience. These skills are crucial for successful change management, and can be put to use in any new culture, anywhere in the world. Moving to a new society invariably induces a degree of culture shock – largely the result of “change overload.” Preparing For Your Move Abroad presents a tried and tested strategy to help you manage the experience and quickly recover. No other book addresses this phenomenon, or attempts to help readers develop the skills to cope with it. The book aims to turn the challenges of relocation into opportunities for growth. By equipping you with essential knowledge, tools, and skills, it will help you to anticipate what lies ahead, address the challenges presented by your move with clarity and confidence, and make your transition successful, stress-free, and much more enjoyable.
