GenXpat: The Young Professional's Guide to Making a Successful Life Abroad
 |
Caught up in fast-paced careers that increasingly involve travel and international relocation, many young people find themselves living and working abroad, often at the cost of meaningful relationships and a sense of connection.
Margaret Malewski, a cross-cultural trainer and GenXpat, balances the successes and failures of a new generation of young, internationally and culturally mobile professionals. Based on her own experience and that of her colleagues, she offers invaluable advice for a generation that embraces the opportunity and the challenges in overseas assignments.
Aspiring GenXpats learn how to:
- negotiate an expat contract
- juggle work and relocation logistics
- deal with culture shock
- build social networks abroad
- enjoy romantic relationships: dating across cultures, long-distance relationships or moving with a partner
- prepare a smooth re-entry back home
GenXpat is published by Intercultural Press

“Filled with anecdotes and first-hand experiences, GenXpat cleverly gives the wide-eyed college graduate or young professional good tips on how to get overseas and thrive once you’re there.”
—Diane McGreal, Director of Trainers,
Berlitz Cross Cultural |
“GenXpat offers real-life scenarios for today’s young expatriates, as well as strategies for navigating the transition successfully. I will recommend this book to my clients and their employees as they embark on their overseas assignments.”
—Louis Lima, Director of Training, Prudential Global Workforce Development |
“For young, single professionals just starting out as expats, now with laptops instead of knapsacks on their backs, reading GenXpat should indeed help them carve out successful lives abroad. The chapter on how-to negotiate contracts will be particularly helpful to those just starting to learn their way around the often byzantine corporate relocation policies. Margaret Malewski has most definitely been there, done that, and now written the book to help others who hope to follow in her footsteps”
