Who? Why? How?

We’re here to look at who decides to live overseas, why they do, and how they accomplish it. There are probably as many reasons to live outside of your native country as there are people who do so. In my case, my husband and I realized several years ago that, if we stay here, we will never be able to afford to retire. Add to this my lifelong desire to spend significant time in another country, and we began looking at the possibilities of retiring overseas. But that’s not the only reason, not by a long shot! More

Learning from Art: Expat Books and Movies

I’ve been posting reviews of books and movies with an expat theme every month for the past six months or so, and I really enjoy this feature of the Future Expats Forum. It forces me to think about books and films in a new way, and to exercise all those writing skills I learned as an English Lit major back in the dark ages when I attended college.

I intend to offer one book and one movie review monthly throughout 2010 as well. I still have some favorites to discuss, and I’ve been making a list of new reading and viewing.

Do you have any particular favorites you’d like to see discussed here? Books should be readily available either to buy or borrow from a library, and movies should be easy to rent or buy as well. (Please don’t suggest something that’s been out of print for 20 years. Even if I can find it to review, you all wouldn’t be able to read or watch it if you wanted to.)

Within those constraints, what would you suggest? Just click on the Comment link below to add to the discussion.
