Living Abroad For Couples

Dear Parents,

Next Thursday evening I will be giving a presentation at the Alliance Francaise on “Living Abroad. It has changed me. Has it changed us as a couple?” If you are still having some difficulty getting settled, don’t hesitate to come either alone or with your spouse. I will be speaking about the challenges of adapting to a new place.
