Overview

Living and working abroad brings challenges and stresses for the expat, whether they are now living in a city or close to a beach with white sand, palm trees and blue sea in a foreign country. Living abroad often provides wonderful and exciting opportunities for a new life in the sun, lower cost of living, lower levels of stress and an escape to something better. However, learning about a new culture, new language, new laws and different attitudes in your adopted country can be both challenging, as well as rewarding. 'Twitters from the Atlantic' is a series of lighthearted blogs about expats abroad, together with helpful tips and advice for the newly arrived or would-be expat. 'Twitters' is published in a number of newspapers and magazines across the world, and this book is the result of requests from readers for a collection of previously published 'Twitters'. This compendium edition includes the content from three earlier books, 'Living the Dream', 'Expat Survival' and 'Message in a Bottle'.
