What Readers Say....

I have just finished The Global Citizen (literally! just!) and I have to tell you I think you've written a fabulous book. Not only a great resource for "people like me" (global citizens who double as expat wannabes), but the first book that #1, asked me to think about why I wanted to explore the outside world, and #2, spoke to those of us who find ourselves longing to live internationally mid-life--long after the usual resources and programs apply. I'm 40, I quit a corporate (VP sales and marketing) gig almost 3 years ago, and I have (very!) gradually realized its not too late to pursue a longstanding dream of living abroad and earning global citizenship. And honestly, most of the books I have found on the subject of creating opportunities overseas are entirely focused on 22 year olds. I wish I'd taken off at 22, but I didn't, and I appreciate your including stories and profiles of other late bloomers!”

I wanted to tell you first, that I love your book! I have read it cover to cover, and as a traveler myself, I feel such a connection with the personal stories in "A Global Citizen's Perspective….it is so helpful and refreshing to see a career guide for adventurous folks like ourselves! I didn't think I would ever find a career counseling book that would be so tailored to my goals and desires.”

Desha Peacock

I highly recommend this book to anyone moving abroad, and my advice would be to read it in its entirety from front to back. You do not want to miss any piece of advice that you can only gain from experience."

Nicole Fronek

I am beginning to explore the idea of living in Germany and, in doing so, purchased your book. I have to say that, among the books I purchased, yours was the most comprehensive and the most current.”

Back Cover Comments

I could scarcely put this book down....It's about having adventures, and it's about fulfilling dreams. It goes into great detail, suggests new possibilities you haven't even thought of, and - - has knocked my plans for the next five years into a cocked hat. I'm going! Can't recommend this book highly enough.",

Career advice books are not hard to come by. Truly helpful ones are. The key is to strike a balance between providing enough general advice that everyone can use it and enough specific advice that people can actually take what they're learning and apply it to advance their careers. Elizabeth Kruempelmann found the right formula. This book is packed with both stories and useful information for the international careerist among us!",

Michael Landes, Author of The Back Door Guide to Short-Term Job Adventures, www.backdoorjobs.com

An insightful and practical guide to living the international life. As an international employer and 'Global Citizen' myself, this book is a must read for it factually and thoroughly covers the sometimes complex game of creating the international experience in real terms. I wish it was available 15 years ago when I was starting my career. I really enjoyed the book, especially the attention to 'knowing oneself' and the stages an expat goes through with every move... I actually learned quite a bit and can use it internally with my work. Now I have a reference guide to point to.",

You really do have a great book--what an incredible amount of work. It should be a wonderful resource for many, many people... Your book really gave me the travel bug. I felt like packing my bags right away!",

Jean Blomquist, Reader from Albuquerque, NM

The book is as enjoyable to read as it is useful, and it is a marvelously useful manual for 'uncovering your global passion' and nurturing your wanderlust into true global competencies. The book contains not just information on global opportunities but more importantly strategies for defining what you want, how to get there, and how to get the maximum out of international experiences. The encouraging testimonials from people that found ways to turn their global dreams into realties do not avoid the serious self assessment, planning, and sometimes sacrifice that was required to assure success.",
