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.
