Read For Free Expert Expatriate: Your Guide To Successful Relocation Abroad--Moving, Living, Thriving Penned By Melissa Brayer Hess Distributed As Publication Copy

book was geared more toward temporary relocation abroad with the understanding you would return after a few months or couple of yearsgovernment officials, large organizations/corporations, Each chapter addressed rather important points and offered interesting anecdotes, but did not go in to enough detail for those independently organizing their own relocation, or those planning a permanent move.
A guide to moving and living abroad, Written in a plain, efficient style but not boring, Covered a lot of concerns I have about moving abroad in a sensible order and was wellorganized, I wanted more details about meticulous things like filing for taxes and becoming a homeowner abroad but I realize this

is so different in each country and even sometimes down to a state/province/territory that it would be difficult to explain in a book meant to outline the basics of anyone moving from one place to any other.
If you're looking for such an outline then this book is perfect! This is a really helpful primer for preparing for a move abroad and settling in there with checklists, soul searching questions, and realistic advice.
It covers many different situations, including moving with kids or pets not relevant for us, I found the chapter on trailing spouses, with a section specially on trailing husbands, incredibly useful, I do wish that it had some more practical advise for those of us traveling to places where an expatriate group will not be readily available and support for the move from your "sponsoring organization" is limited.
There are not many books out there on this topic, and this is one of the most comprehensive guides I've found, Not every section will apply to everyone, but I found some good ideas in here and will revisit in the future when I have some problem areas, I do recommend this to anyone moving abroad as a handy reference guide, I feel bad giving this book such a low star rating based off the fact that this isn't what I was really looking for, This book is written for someone who is being sent abroad for work, not someone who simply wishes to move abroad, While some of the information is helpful for those hoping to just move to another country without being sent there for work, I found some of it unhelpful.


A lot of information shared was "look it up online" which I didn't find particularly helpful, While I understand the purpose considering things are not the same between countries and information is going to be different, I was hoping to get some useful tips in this book.


There was some good information for sure, It just wasn't what I was hoping for or expecting, Packed with a lot of knowledge about relocation and what to expect and not expect from moving to a foreign country, Knowing how to deal with children, teens, pets, and babies, Making new friends that will genuinely help you and not because they have an ulterior motive, If you're moving to a foreign country and not used to relocation, pick up this book, It will give some insight,
I didn't read the entire book, I just chose several chapters I was most interested in, The cost to businesses of illprepared employees moving overseas can be measured in the millions of dollars lost man hours, wasted training and high overhead, For the expatriatetobe, everything you need is here: advice and sound, practical knowledge on preparing, moving, getting settled in, and adjusting to the new culture, The authors' optimism and common sense come from their multiple international moves and more thanyears experience living and working overseas, The authors provide essential tools to make each expatiate an expert at surviving in his or her new culture, This book is a must for 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.
