About

Hi, my name is Paul. I’m a British-born freelance journalist and writer, and have lived the expat life in both the United States and Spain.

As my wife and I discovered, living abroad can offer many great joys and opportunities. But it is not always easy, especially when you are away from your extended family and closest friends.

That’s why I wrote my book, Should I Stay or Should I Go: The Truth About Moving Abroad and Whether It’s Right For You, and set up this website, http://www.expatliving101.com. I know millions of people dream about moving overseas. Yet it is a huge step, and oftentimes it can be difficult to know if it’s the right one. I hope that the thoughts, advice and tips posted on this site and found in my book will help you in making the decision that is best for you.
