If you've ever thought about moving abroad, then read this book first

Fancy working abroad? There’s more to emigrating and working abroad than deciding what to pack in your suitcase. It’s about changing the way you live, and so the more prepared you are, the happier you are likely to be. There are dozens of guides on the market to moving abroad, but many concentrate on the wider issues of emigration, homes and money. The Guardian Guide to Working Abroad also covers the usual subjects of property, banking and tax, but differs in its approach by providing the factual tools and advice to help people make the decision whether to move abroad or to stay put in the UK. The first section of the book features an innovative quiz to help readers to find out if they really do want to make the move. It gives multiple-choice answers to questions and provides analysis of these answers to help the reader reach a decision. The quiz is followed by profiles of some of the most popular relocation destinations in the world, from France and Spain to Australia and Japan. For each country, readers will find a practical quick facts section detailing population statistics, climate and travel from the UK. There is practical advice on adapting to a new life, including finding work and setting up in business. For each country, there is also a useful real-life case study of people who have made the move to that country, highlighting the pitfalls and providing top tips.
