With an increasing number of Americans looking beyond their borders for a new start, Portugal has become the top choice for US expats, attributed to its affordable living, friendly locals, and relaxed way of life. Barbara Grassey's latest book, 'American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60', delves into the personal journey of making such a significant life change later in life, blending humor with practical advice.
The book, set to launch on June 24th on Amazon, aims to demystify the process of moving abroad, covering everything from visa logistics to the emotional highs and lows of expat life. Grassey's narrative moves beyond the idealized portrayals often seen on social media, offering a more grounded perspective on what it truly means to start over in a foreign country.
Grassey's story is particularly relevant to the demographic of women over 50, who are increasingly drawn to the idea of reinventing their lives overseas due to factors like political climate, cost of living, and the pursuit of a better quality of life. 'American Expat' not only shares Grassey's personal experiences but also serves as a guide for others considering a similar path, emphasizing the importance of community and adaptability in navigating the complexities of expat life.
Available in both paperback and ebook formats, 'American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60' is poised to become a valuable resource for anyone contemplating the challenges and opportunities of living abroad, especially for those in their later years seeking a fresh start.
