On The Other Guy's Dime - A Professional's Guide to Traveling Without Paying

Do you want to live the kind of life most people only dream about? Do you want to travel? See the world? Live and work in exotic locales without having to quit your day job? And do it all on someone else's dime?

Well, you can. For the past three decades the author has been doing just that on what he calls working vacations -- short-term overseas assignments that do not require you to sell the house or quit your job. In this book he provides the reader with invaluable ''how to'' information such as locating the best working vacation opportunities, negotiating terms, renting your home, securing housing in the host country, traveling safely with young children, and much, much more.

He has lived this dream, not just talked about it. Now he invites you to have that same experience to live overseas, make international friends, and become part of a new and different culture. It's amazing how often good information and direct action can lead to success--exactly the success you can achieve after reading this book. It's easier than you might think!
