What Others Are Saying About www.TransitionsAbroad.com

"A golden needle in the [Internet] haystack."

"The website for Transitions Abroad magazine is useful for anyone contemplating living, working or studying away from home, or simply hoping to learn more about a region they are visiting.

Lonely Planet

"The world is a big place.  There are lots of opportunities out there for the enterprising young (or not so young) adventurer. If you’ve ever considered heading overseas for more than a vacation, and you don’t have a trust fund to live on, you’re going to need to do some research on the available opportunities and how, exactly, one can settle in a foreign country...There are lots of good resources and lots of bad ones. The Transitions Abroad site is one of the former. Calling itself a “portal for work abroad, overseas travel, study abroad and international living, it is as solid and useful a site as you’re going to find out there."
