Any valuable primer about life abroad must provide a comprehensive view
of the realities involved with an international relocation. This involves
an accurate assessment of the advantages and disadvantages, the risks and
the rewards, and the marvels and the laborious details inherent to any move
abroad. Paul Allen's aptly titled book will truly assist those who want to explore
whether or not living overseas is for them. -- Betsy Burlingame, [...]

The question to move abroad is a complex one, but Paul Allen's book, Should I Stay or Should I Go: The Truth About Moving Abroad and Whether It's Right for You makes the decision process simple (at least as simple as something this life-altering can be). It's well-written, well-researched, easy to read, but most importantly, it's honest. While the decision to move abroad is emotional as well as rational, Allen's book helps you separate the two by focusing on ten areas one should consider when moving abroad. But ultimately, as Allen points out, the decision to move really comes down to the big what if and which what if? you'll regret more in the future. My only regret: not having this book before I moved to Switzerland.

It did not cover all the countries in SA I thought it would. It makes you think about leaving though.

Maybe I'm biased because Paul interviewed me for this book, but I think it's a great, thorough overview of the process of deciding whether or not to move abroad. It is such a large and important decision that I think many who contemplate it get overwhelmed and just abandon the thought. Should I Stay or Should I Go will provide a great assistance to people in that position by demystifying the process.
