This month we talk to: Kim Edwards, the highly-travelled woman behind Sea English Academy; Kate Lorenz, an entrepreneur who set up a housing and orientation company in Shanghai; and Robin Pascoe, who has just relaunched her bestseller, A Broad Abroad (aka Culture Shock: A Wife's Guide).

Thanks go to: Kelly Magowan, for her Salary Negotiation Tips For Women; Stacie Nevadomski Berdan, for her new article, Financial Peace Of Mind Abroad; Robin Fay McNair, for her motivational boost, Living Courageously In An Economic Crisis; our Expat Women Girlfriend for her response to the confession, Raising Bilingual Children.
