Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America

A few weeks ago I bumped into a freelance writer I know, Mark Ehrman. He told me about a new book he'd just finished writing for Process, a new publishing company headed up by Adam Parfrey (founder of Feral House publishing). The book is called Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America, and it's for US citizens who are thinking about moving to another country. I've lived in several countries besides the US, so this book interests me.

Now that habeas corpus and other basic rights, including the right not to be tortured while interrogated, have now been deemed unnecessary, more Americans than ever have been thinking of getting out the door while they still can. Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America (Process Books, January 2007) provides an informed consideration for all potential expats: where to go, how to get there, and how to live best outside the U.S.

 

An emigrant to Berlin himself, author Mark Ehrman breaks down the top 50 expat countries and offers true-life tales from American expatriates worldwide, documenting their experiences and compiling all the best tricks to help the process go as smoothly as possible.

Getting Out is the second volume in Process’ Self-Reliance Series, a new series aimed at helping urbanites make smart choices to live sustainably and self-sufficiently in the 21st century.
