adventure expatriate living overseas travel working

The title of my book, "Follow in the Tigerman's Footsteps," sub- titled "The Adventurous Life of an Expat," comes from my love of tigers that like me love to roam far and wide. It reads more like an adventure story than a memoir and covers a working life most only dream about. I started to write my memoir, as a way of showing my two daughters and grand children what kind of life I enjoyed. However, the more I wrote; I decided it would make an interesting read for others. As a qualified joiner/shopfitter, I worked on fitting out shops, banks and offices all over England, as well as a few projects in Scotland. As a Sagittarian I have travel in my blood, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up experiencing travel and working in so many different countries. Readers will see that there is more to life than a boring 9-5 job, with the whole world waiting for you to experience life in a country other than your own.All Rights Reserved

Our darling employee~(Yandere Various CEO harem x Male worker reader.) by adventurefan2020

(DISCONTINUED!) In a modern alternative world, there is a government job system where an employee from any workplace has the chance of not only touring six of the most powerful companies in the nation and world but also work along the CEO'S of those companies. But there is a catch to all of this, you have to stay with them for an entire month before you can move on to the next company and you will be 'persuaded' by other company representatives to join them with more intriguing benefits and such. If you fail to meet that requirement, then you will receive a "punishment" of god knows what and disappear without a trace and no-one dares to find out why as these companies have people to their grip in a way, so all workers both entry and pro all got to participate who some successful but others failed.. But you, it will be a different turn of events. You see, you are a simple humble reader who lives and breaths work, you enjoy your job and is kind and caring for both your customers and coworkers alike. One day, when your manager Lucy signed you up for the program, you thought that this was the most exciting thing ever to happen to you. Late that night, a phone call was all it took to change your life forever and now on the way to your first destination. However, along the way the CEO'S you work with begin to develop feelings towards you and it was not the healthiest kind per say and all begin planning out ways to win you over and be in their grasps forever. What is gonna happen, who will you win you over and will you survive in your new life and the new responsibilities and scenarios that come with with it? This is the story of a working man who simple life gets turned upside down and unknowably has their hearts wrapped around his fingers. Good luck~ Enjoy~

My Backpacking Memoirs by AtomicJoe

In 2017 I embarked on a three month backpacking trip around Europe. Motivated by the many accounts of travel from within religion, I went to learn. But what I experienced was not what I was expecting. This was my first time leaving the UK since I was a child and my expectations of travel and Europe were wildly out of touch. I met more people in these three months than I had in the previous ten years and had many new experiences. I was naive and many of the people I met on my travels could tell just how naive I was. Overland by bus, train and ferry through 17 countries: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. To 35 locations: Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Prague, Krakow, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Litochoro, Athens, Delphi, Naples, Rome, Venice, Milan and Lugano. It is an account of backpacking around Europe, both the best and worst of European backpacking hostels. Long bus journeys, hitch hiking and plenty of walking. I'm not proud of my behaviour or the events surrounding this three month period of my life, but I am proud to have forced myself to do it. I hope that my story will reach people who are in similar positions to what I found myself and to plant the seed of travel as a solution to those problems. Sometimes running away is the solution. It has also been several years since my backpacking trip and I find myself constantly trying to piece my memories together. Not always knowing what city or even country a memory occurred. I feel like my memories are deteriorating so I decided to document them before fall apart completely. I'm not a writer at all and I have tried to be as honest as possible, to my own downfall. I'm open to any advice about how I can improve it.

Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home Book 1 by MyKeety20

Ok. Let's face it, these books are way too short. So, this series will NOT be deleted but will go through heavy editing and be reposted as different books. The rewritten and original stories can (and will) be found on my profile in my reading list "Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home". A bunch series of books based on the twenty-one cats I've had in my life (No, I'm not making twenty-one different series- actually...). Some of the cats in these books have different names (not saying which ones are the real names). Most of them are if my cats were in the wild/became feral cats because domestic cats are, let's face it, a little boring to write about. PurrBox is a former housecat. He loved his family but ever since he met the other feral cats he's put his past behind him. But when he starts going into the forest, he meets more cats that live there and his group grows bigger. When another group of cats comes to chase them out of their home they have to fight against them. But... they have twice as many cats as PurrBox's group. So what do they do? Started: Oct. 11, 2023 Finished: Oct. 18, 2023 Edited: Finished as of March 23, 2023, I mean, 2024

My Choice! by Nico_Lynn

I shouldn't say. Otherwise, why would I write a journal about my experiences?

Loving Mr. Cavalier by taty_ABM

When Liliana signed up to become a private flight attendant, she believed she had a general idea of what the job entailed. Strictly professional. What she didn't expect was for the mysterious, strict, straightforward Mr. Cavalier to take an interest in her outspoken yet naïve nature. With a stubborn billionaire refusing to take 'No' for an answer, Liliana finds herself on a ride of a lifetime, filled with heated close encounters, daring conversations, not to mention a dash of drama. Will Liliana be able to withstand Mr. Cavalier's lusty and endless pursuit? Or will the outspoken hostess reject the hot billionaire once and for all? __________________________________ He didn't speak. He never spoke. I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call. I told Jenna that I wouldn't come in today and that he'd have to find someone else. Apparently this man didn't take "No" for an answer. He had his personal body guard arrive at my door, and I wouldn't be too surprised as to how he got my address. The scary man was ready to drag me from my house, I was driven to his private Aircraft and now I had to play hostess. When he stepped out of the car, his eyes looked up to me. Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.

Barking Mad by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Third book after Jaime, and Angelica. Angelica's sons are grown and they are meeting their mate. He had an idea, that was all. He wanted to help his people as a whole. He didn't think he'd be the first to try it out. His life was turned upside down, but maybe that was a good thing. But how does he cope with mates that are more wolf then man? It's hard to have a relationship when your mates don't talk much. (Told from Blake and Andrews mates point of view.) Excerpt: Okay, I admit that this was my idea but, I didn't think that Alpha would send me. Yes, pack exchange would help to freshen packs. Blood, minds, get packs that were stagnant and stuck decades in the past to move forward. I recommended enforcers, warriors and Omega's, positions that would do the most good. I was none of those. I was just a random beta with barely the wolf to keep my position and not fall down a rank. But my alpha said that the other packs were not so keen on doing it. So he was going to lead by example. All known packs were put into a database by the council and random generators paired packs to exchange people. Since alpha wanted to lead, we were first to get paired. We got paired with a pack across the country. My flight out had been uneventful thankfully. Most of my things had been shipped, I had two suitcases of things I was wheeling toward the exit of the airport. Supposedly this pack had sent someone to pick me up. I'm almost to the door when I hear my name called.

Footprints by vvivalavida

You don't really discover things until you travel. You meet new people, learn new things, experience more opportunities. It's like putting yourself in another person's shoes. Traveling opens yourself up to the world. You realize that there is so much out there, so much you want to discover and so much that you will never know. Follow your heart and do what your gut tells you because what is meant to be will end up happening. Don't doubt it. This is just a story of me and my adventures in Germany as an exchange student this current year. It may be a boring story for some people, or exciting for others. Maybe you will find it interesting. But before you start reading it, or go search for another book, remember what I said before. And most importantly never, ever give up.

Hannah by lovelycrowsong

Hannah And her Happy Harem After spending her entire life training to become an Olympic level gymnast only to suffer one too many injuries for her body to stay competitive in the sport she loved. Hannah finds herself in deep financial trouble. With few marketable skills outside the gym. To pay the bills and help her family, Hannah comes up with a creative, exotic side business. She got a little carried away being creative with the business aspect though and might be in over her head. Everything had been going fine. No one had noticed what she was doing, her business was doing great. She was able to take care of herself and her father comfortably. That is until her latest performance circuit. She had finally booked some big shows, a top tier set at Red, a night performing at a new drag cabaret bar, and finally a private show for an international company. It was supposed to be another long weekend of working two jobs at once. Just like all the other ones she had suffered through the past three years. Except on this trip, irresistible men keep finding her, and she can't find it in herself to resist. One after another, Hannah finds men she can't stop thinking about, men who feel like they are a part of her. Men who know how to pleasure her in ways she had no idea she needed. Men who have more than a few confessions to make to her when the time is right. Enjoy trailing behind Hannah through a whirlwind, steamy romance. Smut warning of highest order. It is reverse harem after all. Girl is going to get it good friends.

American Impostor by Criques

This is a memoir about my life between 2015 and 2020, where I was part of an international crime ring and my subsequent arrest and imprisonment in a 3rd world country. Here's the synopsis: When I was 27, I started taking American and British University entrance exams for foreign nationals for money. I worked with an agency that paid for my flights, my accommodation, and sent me a forged passport to gain entry to the exams. I was paid a lot per exam. I had an advantage over other test-takers-- English was my native language and I could travel to countries that were inaccessible to others with my American passport. I was able to score perfect on the exams I took, but on some tests like the GRE, I would under-score on purpose to avoid detection. I used the money to travel the world and live the life I'd always dreamed of. I'd never enjoyed my home city of Chicago due to perceptions of my race, and I'd found that I was much happier abroad. I lived and learned about the world and myself in Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, Seoul, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Cairo, Istanbul, and more. Those were the best years of my life. When I was 30, the ACT sent a detective team to hunt me down in Thailand. I was sentenced to 18 months in prison. I started writing this memoir wedged between hot bodies on a makeshift pencil made from rubber bands and lead. We lived in overcrowded prisons where we slept on top of each other, often sharing parasites. The food was just leftover parts of animals that the prison could buy cheaply: pig fat with the bristles still connected, chicken heads and feet. AMERICAN IMPOSTOR is about identity, media, justice, and is completed to its first draft.

Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s by TiggerBrian

Once she opened her eyes, Si Nian became the fake wealthy daughter straight out of a period drama, only to be sent back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real wealthy daughter, and on top of that, she had to raise a bunch of brats. Not only that, she also ran into the reincarnated real wealthy daughter. In her previous life, Lin Si Si was pressured by her family to marry an older divorced man who treated her coldly and indifferently. Meanwhile, Si Nian, who stole her wealthy daughter status, married a military officer and lived a sweet and happy life. In her second chance at life, she was determined to steal Si Nian's military officer husband and make her taste the bitterness she had endured. But the real wealthy daughter's plans didn't go as expected. Instead, Si Nian stayed by the side of the older man, amassed a fortune of billions, and her children flourished. When she was brought before the older man, Si Nian was not at all flustered: "This is the man who would rather help others raise children and adamantly refuses to have his own." While others avoided him, Si Nian's eyes lit up: "Firstly, being a mother is a noble act, and secondly, I will be a great stepmother." Years later, after the real wealthy daughter dealt with the military officer's illegitimate child and was robbed of her inheritance, she found herself in unbearable misery. She thought to herself, even if it's not ideal, it's still better than how Si Nian is living. Having children or not, raising others' children - what's the difference from being a nanny? But one day, that terrifyingly cold and fierce wealthy man, who was now tenderly supporting the pregnant Si Nian out of the car, cradled her in his hands with such affection that it was beyond measure. Si Nian angrily pulled the man's hair, "Didn't you say you didn't want children!" The older man gently kissed her hand, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll consider having one next time."
