With an increasing number of Americans contemplating a move abroad, Portugal has become the premier destination for US expats, attributed to its affordable living costs, hospitable culture, and relaxed way of life. Barbara Grassey’s latest publication, ‘American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60,’ delves into the authentic experience of relocating to a foreign country later in life, blending humor, sincerity, and practical advice.
The book, which officially launched on June 24th on Amazon, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the process of starting anew in Portugal, beyond the idealized portrayals often seen on social media. Grassey describes the journey as less about the glamour of travel and more about the realities of adaptation, stating, ‘It’s not so much Eat, Pray, Love — it’s more Move, Panic, Adapt.’
This narrative is particularly relevant as more Americans, driven by factors such as political unrest, financial considerations, and the pursuit of a better quality of life, are choosing to relocate abroad. The book serves as a resource for those in the midst of or considering such a transition, offering guidance on visas, financial planning, and the emotional aspects of moving abroad, alongside insights into daily life in Portugal.
‘American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60’ is not just a memoir but a tool for those looking to reinvent their lives, especially women over 50, who represent a significant portion of this demographic shift. Grassey’s work underscores the message that reinvention is achievable at any stage of life, with the right mix of community support and personal curiosity.
Available in both paperback and ebook formats on Amazon, Grassey’s book is a testament to the growing trend of Americans seeking fulfillment and adventure beyond their home country’s borders.
