​Thinking About Moving Abroad?

​If so, you're not alone. Polls say 50 million Americans (15% of the US) are now planning to live overseas. Rumor has it those numbers are going up daily.

​Not everybody will actually do it, of course. But if you're one of those who follows through, you'll find it's the best opportunity to reinvent yourself outside of the witness protection program. 

But it can seem daunting. How do figure out the logistics? When do you make the leap? Can you get reliable health care? How hard is it to learn the language? What about making friends? 

My stories (listed below in reverse chronological order) address all these practical questions, especially the last one. In fact, making friends is so important, and so much easier in the expat community, that I decided to call this series The Amigos Project.
