At 63, Russell Beck packed up his life and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thirteen years later, he's still there-with stories to tell, lessons learned, friends remembered, and a few reflections.
This is a memoir for anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to make a big change (spoiler: it's not).
Thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly honest, An Expat's Reflections shares what it's really like to reinvent your life abroad in your 60s and beyond.
"Thirteen years ago, I stood in front of my home in Florida watching a 20-foot container being loaded with the effects of my life to date. Destination: Chiang Mai, Thailand."
"I was 63. My second wife left me for a younger man. She also left me with most of the household goods, hence the container. They were moving to Japan, courtesy of the U.S. Navy."
"And me? I was starting over."
