Item description from seller

We have all heard stories about these sorts of people-those who leave the comfort and security of their home, of the family, friends and language that they had known from childhood-and strike out into the unknown, half way around the world, never to return. What do they experience, those who transplant themselves into a culture totally alien to them? How do they adapt? Do they ever adapt? What are their motives to take such a leap? Many will assume that they are running from something-a wife, boredom, responsibilities, the law, or perhaps just from themselves. Are they cowards and loners, or brave adventurers? Within these 15 true life stories the reader will encounter some strange tales and some unusual characters. Some have ended up in paradise and some in hell-but regardless of the destination, their stories are endlessly fascinating and at times truly enlightening. They are a rich mix of adventure, information and yes, even practical advice for those who are considering just such a change. 268 pp. Size: 21.6 x 14 cm.…
