    Have you permanently left the U.S. since 9/11? (Or are you considering leaving?)

    If so — please contact me.

    I am in the process of doing research for a book on people who have become expats in the wake of 9/11 — or are actively considering leaving. If this describes you, would you contact me? (Or if you happen to know somebody else who might fit this description, would you ask them to contact me?) I would like to interview as many recent expats as I can. Interviews can be conducted anonymously. As background, I am the author of “My Kind of Town” (Chronicle Books, 1995). That book dealt with the migration of people into American small towns. This book will look at a similar sort of trend, but on an international scale.

    Thank you for any help you can offer!

    (PS -- Please accept my apologies if this post appears in an odd place on this site. My research query does not really fit into any of the established categories. And frankly, I wanted to put it in a place where the greatest number of people would see it. Thanks for understanding.)

    Hi Eric,
    I moved your post in the section Everyday Life as I think it's more relevant than Accommodation.
    I wish you good luck for your book an please keep us informed of the results... :)

    I might not fully qualify as an American expat, since, despite having lived in the US for 23 years now, I was born in Europe and during all those years in the USA I have kept my EU country citizenship and passport.
    I have to admit - with a huge amount of shame - that, had I been US citizen, I would have voted republican all those years. But since Bush became president, I decided to leave US. So early last year I took a - rare - opportunity to work in the cloud forest in Costa Rica on a 9month contract and get away from the USA turned a hysterical bully and I enjoyed it almost thoroughly ( almost, since I had no car there and I hate being without a car). Now I am back in Atlanta, preparing to leave next month for my home continent of Europe. However, since most of my income will still be in dollars I will continue to swear at Bushies for lowering my purchasing power by more than 30% !
    Bloody bastards! :(
