Hyderabad An Expat Survival Guide

From how to organise an overseas move to what to do in the event of an earthquake, the Expat Partner's Survival Guide is a light-hearted yet in-depth guide for anyone accompanying their partner on an overseas assignment. In our increasingly globalised society, more and more people are moving to another country to work 0́3 and many of these people are taking their partners and families with them. What does it feel like to sit at home alone in a strange country on the first day your partner leaves for work? How easy is it to find the right school for your child 0́3 and what happens if your child hates it there? Where exactly are you going to track down all the ingredients needed for tonight's dinner? And what happens when it all goes very, very wrong? This authoritative guide draws on the expert advice of more than 70 expat partners who have been there, done that and survived to tell their tales. The experts include author Clara Wiggins, who spent her childhood as a 'trailing daughter' accompanying her diplomat parents on various exotic postings including the Philippines and Venezuela. She later saw life from the other side, when was posted to Jamaica and then took her young family on her husband's postings to Islamabad and St Lucia. She is currently preparing for another move, to South Africa.

"Amazing - so full of information: I wish I'd had this book when I first became an expat wife" - Brigid Keenan, author of Diplomatic Baggage and Packing Up.

The true expat feels a genuine sense of being in the right place and not just where he happens to be, based upon an accident of birth. Each day is an adventure, a new chapter to be read, a lifestyle to be tasted and savoured. The true expat also quickly realises that it is not about what he can get from his adopted country, but what he can give back in return. This book is a follow up to two earlier books for expats: 'Letters from the Atlantic' and 'Living the Dream', which are based upon my weekly 'Twitters from the Atlantic' that are published in a number of magazines and newspapers across the world. Each 'Twitter' is intended to be a light-hearted account and a reflection of my own life as an expat over a period of one year. Some may make readers laugh, whilst others may make readers cry in despair or even anger, yet others are meant to be a gentle prod in what I have found to be the right direction for me. This is not a 'Do it yourself guide' either, but a few thoughts on the best way to survive in a country that is your choice and not merely an accident of birth. www.barriemahoney.com and www.thecanaryislander.com
