Disclaimer and all that uncomfortable legal mumbo jumbo - in PLAIN English:

The author of this website has lived and worked successfully in five foreign countries since 1989. But, he is not a doctor: get your medical advice from your physician before making any decisions about your personal health needs. 

The author is not a financial "expert".  Make your personal financial decisions using your own best judgment and for anything more complicated than paying your water bill, consult a professional.

The author is not a professional personal relationships counselor.  Be sure to talk to your family, spouse, children, significant other, "partner" or anyone else involved in your decision making.  Seek a professional counselor for anything that seems even mildly discomforting for you.  Know that living overseas is not a good idea for people with mental health and/or relationship issues.  Life overseas, in fact, offers a far more challenging environment than you are used to in your home country.

This website can offer you reliable advice that you can obtain only by sitting down and talking one-to-one with experienced expatriates for days - or even weeks.  All that said, things change, things work for some people that may not work for others, the road of life can be bumpy sometimes.  Things don't always go perfectly.

Bottom line:

One of the best things about living overseas is leaving behind that attitude of everyone blaming someone else for how their life has turned out. 

Overseas - it will be much more clear to you as to who is responsible for your life.
YOU ARE.
