Review:

The Overseas Fabulous Pinay is a comprehensive handbook that explains how a person can tackle up with the challenges that one faces when they move abroad, away from family and friends to a new place.

The book contains answers to the most asked questions that revolve around one's mind while they settle abroad.

The author has penned down the words from her own experiences and the hardships she faced in life. Her experience with 3 continents, four countries and five cities have been blended together to frame such a wonderful handbook that can be a guiding light for many.

The book seems to be intriguing for a person who has actually travelled or is about to move abroad. The words can be found relatable to ones life.

The major issue we face is homesickness and it takes time to move over it. The language used by the author is lucid. 

The book is a short read but an informative one.

It was a one go read for me and I really found it helpful.
