This book was interesting to me as I am likely to travel abroad for my job in the future. When I picked it up, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the basics for moving abroad, and expected to learn a little bit about how to adjust culturally. I was pleasantly surprised. This book spans topics from how to adjust culturally, to raising children in a different country, to figuring out the details of visas and work, to even travel for pets and making the move with a spouse. It truly detailed out all the actual physical steps of moving, as well as the affects the move might have on an individual and how to deal with them. If you are looking to move abroad for a longer period of time, this book really helps show you all the things that need to be discussed and examined before you move. It is a must have for those involved in international governmental jobs as well as organizations that focus on a global mission!
