Who Will Benefit...

'At last someone has written a book that addresses the problem in a practical way.'
Shell London LINC magazine 2. The Self-Sufficient Adventurer
Perhaps you want to live somewhere new and exciting (or simply better) than your home country. For many people they wait until retirement before they fulfil a lifetime dream to live somewhere warmer, more pleasant or more laid back. Waiting until you retire probably just isn't quick enough for you and so you'd like to have a regular source of income and a career you can take with you on your travels.

'While both husband and wife have adjustments to make in an international posting, the accompanying spouse (generally the wife) must build a 'life-between-flights' so to speak. Those women who have had meaningful careers will gain practical knowledge and skills from Jo Parfitt who has lived the life. Her valuable insights provide excellent coping suggestions.'
Carlanne Herzog, MA, Cross-Cultural Coordinator/Trainer Prudential Global Workforce Development Intercultural Services
