{"product_id":"living-abroad-jim-santos-9798704813699","title":"Living Abroad: Challenging the Myths of Expat Life","description":"\"LIVING ABROAD is a useful, honest, laugh-out-loud funny guide for anyone who's considering a move from the United States to a new country. The author's years of experience both as an expat and as a writer make for a book that is truthful, realistic, funny, and sensitive. Even though I'm not currently planning to move overseas (although now I'd seriously consider it ), .... truly a pleasure to read. \" Elizabeth P., Elite Editor.Although good numbers are hard to calculate, reliable sources estimate that more than 3 million Americans each year decide to try living in another country. Most of them are not making a political statement; some move abroad for economic reasons, some to start a new life or \"re-invent\" themselves, and some are just seeking new experiences. In the wake of COVID-19 and contentious politics, that number is likely to increase. With over 200 published articles in the international travel\/retirement field, three books about travel, and a dozen presentations at international retirement conferences on his resum , the author is uniquely qualified to bring you an unvarnished look at the challenges, pitfalls, and possible rewards of expat life. This is not a how-to book, or even a why-to. Instead it is an honest look at some of the questions and myths about living overseas, using entertaining and informative real-life examples to illustrate what is true and what is not so true. The goal is to provide the reader with the good and the bad - not to persuade you to become an expat or not - but to give you enough insight to decide what might be best for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Santos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8704813693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798704813699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Jim Santos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944423555327,"sku":"9798704813699","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3551950-9efb-49ba-98a8-12f24db2df2a.jpg?v=1681503505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-abroad-jim-santos-9798704813699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
