Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
This book is a great insight into the 'reality' of migration.
Paul Allen throws off the rose-coloured spectacles and delves into the nitty gritty of moving abroad.
With well-researched information and great personal anecdotes, this book is not intended to make you shy away from the idea of moving abroad, it merely highlights obstacles that perhaps had been overlooked (or that people would prefer to ignore!)
As a Brit who has made the big move; lived the rollarcoaster wave of emotions and successfully made it to the other side, I can whole-heartedly recommend this book.

Based on a combination of research studies (lots of charts, graphs and data) and personal experiences (lots of anecdotes), this book reveals the reality behind moving abroad. The first half, an examination of the most popular destinations for Brits and Americans (Australia, Canada, Mexico, France, etc.) is fairly light. If you want detailed info on these countries you'll want to look elsewhere. However the second half of the book is really strong and more than makes up for it. Paul reveals some of the not-always-nice realities of life abroad from the pesky flies in Spain to being trapped in air conditioning all summer in Southern California. Plus, he talks about healthcare (seems like everyone thinks their country's healthcare system is not what it should be), pervasive overwork, missing your family and friends, sharply rising cost of livings, etc. I'm not saying it's all bad news, but it's far more realistic than most books I've read on the topic. If you're remotely seriously considering moving abroad, I'd recommend this book strongly. Expatriating is too big a decision to make with nothing but stars in your eyes.

If you're thinking about maybe moving to live, work, study, extensively travel or retire abroad - this is a great place to start.
You will be guided in your decision making by the author's wisdom and experience, and come out the other end of the book far more assured of your decision to relocate or remain. The author also explores the most popular places for Brits to live overseas, and looks at what's good, bad, better or worse about living in each of these destination.
This really is worth a read if you're serious about moving abroad - or if your partner or spouse wants you to consider the option. It will help you see whether expatriation is right for you or not...
