Portugal has recently become the preferred destination for U.S. expats, a trend underscored by Barbara Grassey's latest publication, 'American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60.' Launched on June 24th, the book provides a blend of humor and insight into Grassey's personal journey of moving to Portugal at the age of 62, addressing both the logistical and emotional facets of such a significant life change.
The narrative breaks away from the often romanticized view of expatriate life, instead offering an honest exploration of the hurdles encountered, from visa processes and financial planning to the emotional challenges of starting over in a new country. Grassey's experiences are especially pertinent to the growing demographic of Americans, particularly women over 50, who are drawn to the idea of overseas living for reasons ranging from political climate and cost of living to the desire for an enhanced lifestyle.
Available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats, 'American Expat' serves as a crucial resource for those contemplating international relocation in their later years, combining practical guidance with relatable personal stories.
