With so much information available online today, you may decide to limit the number of books you buy and bring with you about moving and living abroad. Below are some of our favorites: Completely revised and updated to account for the new realities of international travel, this is an easy-to-follow guidebook for global nomads, full of practical suggestions for successfully relocating overseas. The book covers everything from pre-departure reconnaissance through reentry. The BIG Guide to Living and Working Overseas is the World's Best international career guide, written mainly for college students and young professionals, it also applies to career changers and world travelers. (Review from Amazon.com) A lot has changed since Canadian author Robin Pascoe wrote Culture Shock! A Parents Guide. The world has become globalized, digitalized, and sadly, terrorized. That's the big picture Pascoe examines in Raising Global Nomads. In her fifth book for expatriate families, the author recounts with honesty and her trademark humour what worked for her family, and shares the hard lessons learned. Parenting styles in general, and of third culture kids in particular, have changed dramatically, prompting this timely and comprehensive reexamination of the challenges of parenting abroad.

Canadian journalist Robin Pascoe put her own journalistic career on hold to join her diplomat spouse on what would become more than a twenty-year voyage across continents, time zones, and cultures. She offers an irreverent, quirky, and just plain hilarious look at modern-day marriage and at the quagmires and pitfalls that lie ahead when you and your marriage hit the road. For empty-nesters, early retirees, and even established executives, midlife is the ideal time to turn travel fantasies into real and rewarding experiences. This revised and expanded second edition of "The Grown-Up's Guide" covers estimating cost-of-living expenses, the dos and don'ts of international health care, the boom in online travel resources, and much more.
