"Expert Expat can help simplify, untangle, and enrich what will be one of the greatest experiences of your life!"
—From the Foreword by Alma Powell, wife of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell
Trusted by thousands of families and individuals, The Expert Expat: Your Guide to Successful Relocation Abroad is essential reading for anyone moving overseas. Personal stories drawn directly from the authors’ dozens of years abroad as well as the experience of countless expats worldwide help prepare readers for the exhilarating and daunting task of establishing a life far from home. Now more than ever, The Expert Expat’s practical advice and encouragement help to ease challenges and create rewarding experiences while living abroad. New to this edition is an important chapter on safety, including expert advice on preventing identity theft and responding to terrorist threats. And for those increasing numbers going solo, The Expert Expat gives guidance on networking, establishing a home, and traveling alone.
"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."
