A series of articles addressing issues faced by Americans living abroad, and their solutions!
While AARO normally addresses “hard” issues of living abroad such as banking and taxes, we realize there are a host of other “softer” issues that also confront expatriate Americans. Adjusting to new ways of life, making friends from different cultures, maintaining ties back home. You are not alone! These, and more, are situations all Americans face when they move overseas.
To help you navigate issues such as these, AARO is posting a series of articles focusing on them and hopefully providing some solutions that you may be able to use as well. The articles are written by a variety of authors with different experiences, lifestyles, countries and families. We hope that you will find these articles helpful in your exciting adventure as an American living overseas.
If you would like to contribute an article describing your own challenges and how you solved them, please contact AARO’s editor, MJ Wilkie, at
