In 2008, the Fowler family embarked on an adventure that changed their lives forever when an overseas assignment took them to Belgium. What began as a blog to keep in touch with friends and family back in Minnesota, turned into much more. Learning to live in another country and adapting to another culture, opened their eyes to their own. This edited, abridged version of Natalie's blog takes readers through some of the unique challenges expats face when immersing themselves in a new culture, and celebrates the unusual victories that inevitably follow--like the pure joy of completing multiple school supply lists in a foreign language. From the birth of their third child to an alopecia diagnosis for their son, life didn't always care that they were expats. But the biggest challenge of all came when they learned they had to move and go back to a culture they'd left behind.

If you're looking to read about adventures, look no further. ASIA: An Expat Adventure will take you on a four-year journey through several countries and cultures. It's a true testament to what it's really like to live in another country, what culturalism really is, and how different the world really can be. "Tim shoots from the hip in this anthology of all that is wrong (and a few things that are right) about teaching English in the Far East. ASIA: An Expat Adventure is half I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and half Frommers; it's an essential guide for anybody who wants an insider's view on the agony and the ecstasy (mostly the agony) of ESL life. There are plenty endearing qualities about Tim's memoirs, not the least of which is his ability to trudge on when others would have bought the next ticket home. As Tim looks back at his beer-soaked escapades through the clarity and wisdom that hindsight provides, we are granted a view of a man who is as resilient as he is ill-fated, and a world that is as perplexing as it is alluring." - Brenan G. Alexander, ESL Teacher, Communications Leader, UBC ...leaving behind not just his country, but his mind, as he slowly deconstructs his old life (quite literally in some cases, given the numerous surgeries he details) and reassembles the parts into a story worth telling. We all have one. This is his. Enjoy it! - Joshua W. Davies, MS Education, LAM Institute, Communications Consultant

Buying a home is probably the most important financial decision of your life. It can be a daunting prospect, even if done in your home country in your own language. Let alone in Belgium, with its complex linguistic setup and frequently changing rules that differ between regions. In addition, prices have skyrocketed, interest rates have increased again, and real incomes are stagnating. You don't know where to start, and the entire process is difficult to understand. It is exhausting, exciting and nerve-wracking. You shouldn't have to do it alone. There is plenty of generic advice available in English on buying real estate, both online and in excellent books. For Belgium specifically, there are several books available in French, but just one that is not focused on buying to let as an investment, and it is rather verbose. A book on living and buying in Belgium also exists in Dutch. But to my knowledge, there are no books available in English specifically for Belgium. This book aims to fill that gap, focussing on buying a home for personal use and covering all three regions; Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia. The time of writing is April 2024. This is a complete but concise guide to the entire procedure and all its practical, legal, and financial aspects. It covers houses as well as apartments and includes specific advice for both. The book uses non-technical English language and provides the French equivalent term in brackets for convenience. It will make frequent reference to websites where you can find more information in English, French, or Dutch - treasure troves that the author has found over the years. It also includes specific advice for greater Brussels, 25 pro tips, a detailed timeline, a list of resources, checklists, and a glossary. The author is an expat and an economist. His experience is based on buying 4 pieces of real estate: 2 apartments to let for which the rental income just exceeds the monthly mortgage payment, 1 apartment for own use sold after 5 years at a profit of more than 70,000 euros, and his current family home. Having bought his first apartment earlier than most of his friends and colleagues, he has advised several of them over the years, which allowed him to learn from their experiences, as well as his own mistakes. This is the book he wishes he had read before starting his own real estate adventure.

Alec had never been to Belgium, so it came as some surprise when he found himself at the altar of a small church in Flanders, reciting wedding vows in Flemish. It was the start of a long relationship with this unassuming and much maligned little country. He vowed to put worldwide opinion to the test: just how boring can Belgium be?

"A smart, sparkling novel that is one part social satire, one part travelogue . . . Comical and cool.” —Oprah Daily In Katie Crouch's thrilling novel Embassy Wife, two women abroad search for the truth about their husbands—and their country. Meet Persephone Wilder, a displaced genius posing as the wife of an American diplomat in Namibia. Persephone takes her job as a representative of her country seriously, coming up with an intricate set of rules to survive the problems she encounters: how to dress in hundred-degree weather without showing too much skin, how not to look drunk at embassy functions, and how to eat roasted oryx with grace. She also suspects her husband is not actually the ambassador’s legal counsel but a secret agent in the CIA. The consummate embassy wife, she takes the newest trailing spouse, Amanda Evans, under her wing. Amanda arrives in Namibia mere weeks after giving up her Silicon Valley job so her husband, Mark, can have his family close by as he works on his Fulbright project. But once they’re settled in the sub-Saharan desert, Amanda sees clearly that Mark, who lived in Namibia two decades earlier, has other reasons for returning. Back in the safety of home, the marriage had seemed solid; in the glaring heat of the Kalahari, it feels tenuous. And the situation grows even more fraught when their daughter becomes involved in an international conflict and their own government won’t stand up for her. How far will Amanda go to keep her family intact? How much corruption can Persephone ignore? And what, exactly, does it mean to be an American abroad when you’re not sure you understand your country anymore? Propulsive and provocative, Embassy Wife asks what it means to be a human in this world, even as it helps us laugh in the face of our own absurd, seemingly impossible states of affairs.

What Changed Our Lives: An Expat Adventure is written based on the real experiences of Rudolf Hartong, his wife, and their five children during their travelling and moving around as expatriates. They lived in seven countries over a period of twenty-four years. The book has therefore autobiographical elements in it. The aim of the work is for existing expatriate families to recognise themselves in the descriptions as well as and more importantly that it can be used as guidance by families who are making decisions with respect to moving around. The book is covering the period of making the decision as to whether or not to take a position abroad and making preparations in this respect. It mentions the difficult process of saying farewell, especially if young adults are involved. It covers the issue of making the right choice of school system. It looks at how the decision to move can bring extra bonding in a family and a change in their perceptions of the world and life in particular, which will make them citizens of the world. It contains real descriptions of events that Rudolf and his family experienced in moving through seven countries. Perhaps as the most important contribution, it provides, first-hand, the observations of the five children positive and negative. It describes the exposure to culture shocks and the process of adaptation. The book ends covering the period of leaving an international school and making decisions as to where to continue to study and with the philosophical approach to life of parents when their children have left home. Rudolf Hartong has also published two other books: Human Resources in Crisis, published January 25, 2013, and General Management for Operational Managers, published May 23, 2013. Both books are published by AuthorHouse and cover his experiences in human resources and general management during his career of forty years.
