50 Answers to your real-life questions about living abroad

Every international moving company is familiar with the traumas customers go through when moving to another country.  Often the difficulties on arrival in a new country can be felt most acutely by what is termed ‘the trailing spouse’: most usually the wife of the transferee. 

The relocation business has built into a whole industry on the back of this fact that people need help when they arrive.  When, of course, the family is transferring at the request of a company, that employer naturally assumes some of the responsibility of making the transition as painless as possible.

But even so, many people suffer both practical and emotional difficulties when suddenly thrust into a strange world.  A new book, Expat Women: 50 answers to your real life questions about living abroad, is designed to help and could, for many moving companies, be a useful gift to trailing spouses that would make a real difference to their ability to settle quickly and happily.

The book is the creation of seasoned expats Andrea Martins and Victoria Hepworth. They have used their own experience to share a wealth of wisdom and positive tips to motivate women at every stage of their expat journey. They cover popular topics like leaving family back home, transitioning quickly, intercultural relationships, parenting bilingual children and work-life balance. They also address more difficult issues such as expat infidelity, divorce, alcoholism and reverse culture shock.

This book is for any woman who has ever wondered what it is like to live abroad, work abroad or accompany their working partner abroad. It is also for any woman already living the expat life but having mixed feelings about settling in, rebuilding their identity, understanding changes in their relationships, successfully managing their money and career, raising children far from home or repatriating.

 The publishers of Expat Women have designed the front cover to accept a sponsors logo.  This means that if you would like to use the book as a ‘give away’ you can promote your company in the process.  For more information go to: www.expatwomen.com
