Message from Andrea
Hello Everyone! Wonderful to have you with us. This month we talk to: Suzanne Garber of International SOS Assistance; Ashley Bartner, who runs an agriturismo in Italy; and Donna Musil, the talented woman behind the Brats documentary.
Thanks go to: Andrew Miser, for his new article about coaching for expatriate couples; Rob Fenn, for his helpful article about choosing the right removal company; and our Expat Women Girlfriend, for her response to the confession, Will Culture Shock Happen To Me?
We are thrilled to welcome two new sponsors this month, K12 International Academy (who offer U.S.-certified, quality, portable education abroad) and Exchange4free (a UK-based company offering international money transfers worldwide). Thanks for supporting the companies that support us!
Lastly, in keeping with the spirit of the repatriation season, I have included this month the personal Adapting Back Home essay which I wrote for Suzanne Kamata's new book, Call Me Okaasan: Adventures In Multicultural Mothering and I send my best wishes to those of you repatriating now.
Thanks and enjoy your July!
Andrea
