“A gem of a book.”
Catriona Turner
Author, Nest: A Memoir of Home on the Move
“This author is a delight…intelligent, funny and real. Having recently completed my first time living abroad, I loved this book as I could “see” each situation and “feel” the emotion the author shares — either in myself or others I met along the way. Each essay bringing with it a laugh, sigh or a resounding “yep”. Highly recommend this and anything Dina writes.”
— C Jeffrey Cooper, Amazon review
“Three years into expat life, I see myself reflected in these pages. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it makes me happy to read it.“
Amy Day, Amazon review
“…peppered with insider tips on how to handle your first or next or third or last stint living outside your “home” country. A quick and entertaining read. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry.“
Erin, Goodreads review
There’s nothing quite like stepping foot in a new country and declaring yourself home.
Many of the essays included There’s Some Place Like Home were originally published on Wine and Cheese (Doodles), compiled over a decade of observing life through the lens of living outside your comfort zone. The result is a front row seat to the sometimes crazy, sometimes lonely, but never boring life of an expat.
There’s Some Place Like Home: Lessons From a Decade Abroad, was published in December, 2018.
