What is The Amigos Project?
A recent poll says 50 million Americans (15% of the US) are planning to move overseas.
Not all of them 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. You get to hit the reset button on your life. And that goes double for your social life.
When you arrive in your new home and your calendar is blank for the rest of your life, you've got powerful motivation to jump start your social outreach. How do you do it? And can you use those same strategies wherever you go, including back home? What else do you need to know to build a new life in a strange land?
I cover all this and more in The Amigos Project, my new series of blog posts. Here's what I've discovered so far.
