There has never been a better time to take the leap and move abroad. Four-time expat and travel expert Jessica Drucker distills 15 years of living, working and traveling abroad into an amazingly simple recipe that anyone can follow. In the long tradition of Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Work Week, Marie Kondo's decluttering framework and Bill Bryson's travel memoirs, How To Move Abroad And Why It's The Best Thing You'll Do provides a practical step-by-step guide and personal anecdotes to get you abroad, whether you're looking to start over, retire, reignite your career, or show your kids the world.Drucker demystifies the process of setting up life in a different country, clarifying topics such as: **How to finance your move**How to get a job abroad **How to pay your taxes **How to blend in like a spy, even when you stick out like a sore thumb**How to learn any language.

Book excerpt: The almond farm in Almeria, Spain, is exactly what twentysomething slackers Shaun Briley and his girlfriend. Helen, have been looking for: A rustic retreat from the pressures of adulthood back in London. Complete ignorance of agriculture, local culture, and the language? Not a problem. The key to success lies in mastering a few simple lessons about the simple life.... 1) Indoor toilets are for wusses. As are running water, heat, and electricity, apparently. But does the absence of creature comforts really matter when you're young and in love? Or in lust and reasonably fond of one another? 2) Love means maintaining the mutual delusion that everything is perfectly fine. The fact that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was filmed near your little corner of paradise is cool--not weirdly prophetic. As long you both understand that acclimating to hovel (er, farm) life and its necessary privations (no mixed drinks, no hot showers, no clean underwear) may take a while, everything will be just dandy. No really... 3) Foreigners are weird. This means you. One of the richest rewards of life in a rural community is getting to know your neighbors: The salt of the earth who will give you the shirts off their backs, or a funny, farting puppy; who will feed you pork sausages until you're sick, and will laugh at just about every stupid thing you do. Over the course of one (long) year, Shaun and Helen will learn what it's like to take a relationship for a test drive on the wrong side of the road, as they get a crash course in the sublime and ridiculous intricacies of.... How Not to Live Abroad.

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.

The challenges of living in a foreign country don't begin and end with culture shock. If you're planning a move abroad, you need to prepare yourself for the unique pressures, anxieties and personal and family problems common to all expatriates, which are often difficult to anticipate and a challenge to overcome, including: Culture shock: what is it really? Long-distance relationships with friends and family Affairs and other marriage-stressors Raising third culture kids Being single overseas Business travel booby-traps Expatriate burnout The unforeseen trials of returning home ...and much, much more Expatriate psychologist Dr. Cathy Tsang-Feign uses real-life examples and easy-to-understand explanations to fully prepare you for a move abroad, and to help those already there to help themselves live a well-rounded, satisfying life. On the principle that "awareness is half the cure," Dr. Tsang-Feign identifies and explains most of the common personal, relationship and family problems encountered by people living abroad: from the initial culture shock to the special joys and pitfalls of the expatriate experience, to the challenges of re-entering your own native country. This expanded new edition contains new information on expatriate relationships and marriage, third culture kids, and a thorough guide to finding help abroad.

Book excerpt: Stop! Before You Move Your Life Overseas You Need To Read This Book Moving to a new country is certainly not as hard as it may seem, but it does take a concrete decision, followed by decisive action. This book helps you make that decision, and points you firmly in the right direction to not only move but to live successfully in your new home. Once you've read this book you will be able to confidently answer all-important questions such as... 1. Is moving abroad really right for me? 2. 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. So, rather than giving you yet more on the mechanics of moving overseas, this book is packed with first-hand accounts, well-researched facts and balanced questions to help you answer the most important question of all: should I go in the first place? Should you stay or should you go? Now is the time to make up your mind and really start living.
