Living as a global citizen is a truly rewarding way of life. Whether you live abroad just once or various times in multiple countries, your experiences traveling to different lands, learning foreign languages, studying, volunteering or working abroad will color your life with unique adventures and unforgettable memories. The opportunities to learn, see the world, and feel enriched are an inherent part of this global lifestyle. Most global citizens find traveling and living abroad "a life worth living".

The Global Citizen starts with a simple "to-do" list to get you to your dream destination. And as soon as you step off the plane, you can count on The Global Citizen to take you step-by-step through the "arrival to-dos". You'll learn tips and tricks to adjust to your new environment, deal with culture shock and maximize your time abroad. Then, when it's time to return home, refer to the book again for advice on repatriation issues, reverse culture shock and how to apply your international skills to live as a true global citizen.
