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.”

Last
month my boyfriend and I were relocated to
Munich, Germany and reading The Global Citizen before
hand has really helped in clueing us in one what to
expect and how to handle each individual issue as
they arise. 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."

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.”

I will truly use your advice…”

I
want to thank you for putting together a
book that really has inspired me to follow through
with my dreams…”

…when I was reading your book,
things you said, described me and my will to embrace
the world. .. I would really like to thank you for
the book - it has been a huge help.”

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!",
Thad Peterson, Senior Producer, Monster.com

Are you curious--or even hungry--about
creating and international lifestyle abroad? You can't
help but get excited about the possibilities with

stories to heaps of international contacts and resources,
the voice of experience truly speaks throughout the
pages. Whatever your age or interest, this essential
resource will not only help you uncover the fabric
of your global future, but will take you on an adventure
of a lifetime. Elizabeth Kruempelmann has, by far,
created the most fascinating guide in the field.",
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.",
