Maybe I had higher expectations of this book. I loved the title and I thought I would find a more in-depth discussion of being an expat. In the beginning the books brings statistics, climate data, size, population size, etc. of one the most popular destinations for expats. Since I already decided where I want to go, many of these data were irrelevant to me.
I thought it was too basic, only scratching the surface of the topic. There are chapters about health, culture and work life talking about the pros and cons to consider depending on the life you desire in a new country. The most interesting thing of the book are the questionnaires that make you think deeply about the decision to move abroad.

More well suited for those who are thinking about living abroad but don't already have a place in mind. Seemed to be geared towards those at an older life stage looking to move away from the city to sunnier more laid back places. The author is an expat who moved from the UK to Spain so naturally there is also a bit of bias against moving to England.

Essential reading for anyone thinking of moving abroad.
