Great read full of practical advice!

Anyone planning for long travel or to move from the USA or Canada to another country for an extended period of time would benefit from reading this in depth but entertaining book!

Great read!

This was such a great start to my interest in nomadic traveling abroad and a really good start to know some great quality places that don’t charge a fortune to travel or live in! Also how to make this dream a reality!

This is making me want to change my life

After reading this book, I’m feeling so inspired to move to different countries, and uproot my life.

Very informative!!

This book has very good info if looking to live abroad on a budget. There are whole chapters dedicated to many different countries. Highly recommend.

good information with multiple perspectives

I enjoyed hearing about places I had never considered. I'm thinking harder about language barriers and how to deal with that. I'm looking forward to exploring more now that I've listened to this audio book.

Must Read for Future Expats

Fascinating and entertaining book discussing the wealth of offshore living options available to anyone with that special sense of adventure that might cause them to pursue such a living arrangement. My favorite chapters are the country by country discussions. Even for those countries I have no interest in living, his insights on both the benefits and drawbacks of each location provide interesting and informative background.
Highly recommended!

A must read for any potential expat.

A fantastic start to your expat journey starts with this book.
As someone who already started traveling, but has not settled on a specific location yet, this book has opened my eyes to more possible homes than O imagined.
And plus, who doesn't want to live a good life for less?

Wide perspective

The author touched on many topics that helped me to create a checklist of things I'll need to do.

Best Relocation Book

I’ve read several books on relocation, & this is the best one I’ve found so far. The reader is outstanding, talks like he’s having a conversation with you—the one oddity I noticed is how he pronounces “bilingual” but it’s not a major detractor.

I like the author’s blunt honesty about the pros & cons of various countries & regions, many of which I honestly would have never in a million years considered, before reading this book.

Definitely recommended, in combination with other sources of course, on any place you’re considering moving to. I plan to follow this author’s blog & website, to keep abreast of the most recent info. Looking forward to any new editions of this book he might write too!

Eye opening and inspiring

Very informative and inspiring and straightforward. Anyone interested in a life/location change should give this a go!
