Adventure. Discovery. Love. Career. Finances. Disenchantment. Retirement.
These are the primary motivations for people who move and live abroad. Whatever their reasons, they are the new expats.
Suddenly, home is not just the place you live. Home is the piece of your soul that finds its counterpoint in the intoxication of cultural reciprocity.
— Jessica Beder, from At Home Abroad
THE CONTRIBUTORS
They came from every direction.
Thirty-one authors. Each one made a decision that most people only think about — and then wrote honestly about what happened next.
Love. Career. Finances. Disenchantment. Retirement. The reasons that brought them abroad are familiar. What they found when they got there is anything but.
At Home Abroad is their book. And maybe yours.
So what changed? We did.
Now you'll have to excuse me, I've got to start packing.

The varied nature of the authors' style and experiences is entertaining and will possibly — I warn you — leave you wanting to write your own.
