<p>Who moves to a new country--one she has never been to, where she doesn&#39;t know anyone and doesn&#39;t speak the language--in the middle of COVID? Barbara Grassey did. </p><p>She is a writer and expat, living in the Algarve, Portugal. She has written more than 60 books, manuals and home study courses over the past 20 years for national speakers, new speakers and small business owners. She ghostwrites business books for coaches, consultants and speakers who know a book will take their business to the next level—but don’t have the time (or desire) to write it themselves. &quot;I help people tell their stories and create even more writers,&quot; Barbara says. &quot;All of them putting out words – beautiful words – changing the world one person at a time.&quot;</p><p>Her book coaching and publishing business allows her to work from anywhere in the world with Wi-Fi. She is very happy she landed in Portugal. Her latest book, <em>American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60</em>, chronicles her move to Portugal. It&#39;s a candid, often funny boots-on-the-ground travel memoir that shows how she navigated all the &quot;firsts&quot; of a new life. &quot;In short, this isn’t Eat, Pray, Love. It’s Move, Panic, Adapt,&quot; Barbara quips.</p><p>When she’s not writing, Barbara spends her time taking walks along the Ria Formosa and petting all the good doggos (Spoiler Alert: They’re ALL good doggos), having coffee or wine with friends and feeling guilty about not writing.</p><p>Learn more and follow her at:</p><p>https://barbaragrassey.substack.com/p/welcome-to-my-expat-golden-girl-life</p><p>https://barbaragrassey.com/</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/BarbaraGrasseyBookCoach/</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBqBScPGqbOOJ3Fi_QmdDA</p><p>***Please like, comment on and share my new TEDx Talk about my DNA test surprise and risks of taking these tests that are marketed as fun holiday gifts yet upend many people&#39;s lives!
