Click here to read a New York Times article on "Dislocated Americans," mentioning Expert Expat!"The second edition is even more comprehensive than the first! I believe readers will benefit from the newly expanded chapters, especially the one exploring the challenges of relocating third culture kids. The authors offer terrific advice on raising global nomads in the twenty-first century."
—Robin Pascoe, author,
Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World,
www.expatexpert.com "This comprehensive A-Z guide to international relocation is an easy and interesting read, peppered with relevant anecdotes from real life experiences. It should be on the shelf of every international corporate HR department, and I highly recommend this as required reading for expats and expats-to-be whether it is the first or the fiftieth international move."
—Faye Barnes, President, Associates of the American Foreign Service Worldwide (AAFSW)
"Moving abroad to live and work with family in tow is not easy, even when you have done it several times before. Linderman and Hess have covered all corners in this newly updated and revised edition of Expert Expat, which now includes invaluable information on safety and security and advice on moving with children that is bang up to the minute."
—Jo Parfitt, www.expatrollercoaster.com author, writer, and speaker specializing in expatriate living
"I read
The Expert Expat and
GenXPat and highly recommend both books. The first was very detailed into how to prepare, plan, move; adjusting, working, culture, language, you name it, it was in there....It's a great book for anyone moving, or thinking of moving abroad.
GenXPat was great as well, it focused on people like me, Generation Xers, mostly single, and their own unique experiences, needs and desires. Both books referenced each other a lot, and between the two covered everything. I think these two books are all one needs for a move abroad."
—Jennifer Kirk, An American in Hong Kong blog, January 29, 2008
"Practical advice and personal stories help prepare readers for establishing a life far from home. More than just a how-to book on the mechanics of moving, the book also offers the authors' reflections on what it means to uproot one's family, leave one's homeland, and adapt to life in another culture."
