- At the end there is a little teaser for a future episode with Kathleen Israel, a solo woman in her seventies who bravely walked the Camino alone after taking care of her husband who had passed away a few months previously.
All these books contain stories and strategies to encourage and make international lives easier and more functional!
We discussed a garden-variety of subjects from grand parenting abroad to split-location families, from specific empowerment for women to relating across borders and practical tools like yoga and walking the Camino. Please listen to the authors discuss their specialty topic so that you can apply their wisdom to your global mobile challenge. They are all writers who write about expats and long-distance lifestyles.
Now listeners, this is really important!
