“The Expert Expat can help simplify, untangle and enrich what will be one of the greatest experiences of your life!”
From the Foreword by Alma Powell, wife of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell
The eagerly awaited new edition of the guide that has become essential reading for anyone moving overseas which includes an important new chapter on safety, including expert advice on preventing identity theft and responding to terrorist threat and, for the increasing numbers going solo, guidance on networking and establishing a home.
Whether you're the one relocating or the one sending employees, Brayer Hess and Linderman have anticipated nearly every aspect of moving overseas. They prepare the reader for not only the move abroad but for the challenge of thriving in a new country and culture.
The Expert Expatriate is an easy-to-follow guidebook chock-full of practical and useful suggestions on successfully relocating overseas. The authors' enthusiasm about the expatriate experience is contagious, and their positive outlook provides encouragement for those who may find the prospects of living and adjusting abroad daunting. The authors, between them, have thirty-one years of experience living abroad, including eleven international moves—they are true global nomads.
Many examples and personal stories culled from years of communicating and commiserating with other expatriates worldwide are included in the book. From language and host country sponsors to settling children and pets in a new country to special concerns such as health and security to returning home—all the bases of overseas relocation are covered.
The book will be a welcome guide to anyone who is planning to live and work overseas: single, married, employee or spouse, with or without children; relocation specialists who assist clients in making that transition; and human resource personnel responsible for international assignments.
