Ever since I moved to Spain in 2004, much of my writing life (to say nothing of my personal life) has been spent exploring topics I wish I’d been more savvy about from the beginning, such as how to get a residency visa, find a lost dog in an airport, and leave excess baggage — literal and figurative — behind.
I started out writing about the practicalities and logistics but soon found myself addressing larger issues, such as how to create a new life from scratch, preferably one that’s less frazzled, more authentic, and filled with generous amounts of friendship and laughter. Over the past six years I've produced three little guides to help future expats come to grips with the reality of moving abroad. These three guides have all been updated and will soon be available in a single volume, to make it easier for you to plan your transition to international living. Books included in the set: PACK LIGHT Amazon Bestseller in Travel Updated to include new checklists, luggage-free travel, packing up your house, and transporting belongings overseas 101 WAYS TO ENJOY LIVING ABROAD Updated to include new resources, apps & devices for travelers & expats HOW TO MEET PEOPLE ON THE ROAD Never before published, an all-new guide to making friends in foreign lands |
