Have you got a story to tell about moving abroad?

It's a common belief that the media is inundated with letters and phone calls. Sadly, from my point of view, that just isn't true.

You only need to look at the furore around the Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty which led to maybe 40,000 phone calls. That was a record. But it was still less than 1% of the viewers. If a 'normal' TV programme receives a couple of dozen complaints the producer will be called to meet the network bosses. It's the same with newspapers.

The reason I mention this is that I am trying to find case studies for the book. I want to talk to people who have moved abroad from the UK so that I can share their experiences. It would certainly make my life easier if those people would approach me without my having to chase them. Unfortunately it's unlikely to happen.

If, however, by some chance you've come across this blog you do have a story tell I'd love to hear from you. It's not just the success that are valuable. There's nothing like learning from the mistakes of others.

And that's what the book's supposed to be about, helping people who are thinking of moving abroad to make the right choices.

Incidentally, if you are thinking of moving abroad why not try the quiz on my other site A Desk In The Sun.
