Work Abroad Credit Card Tips
Inspired by a recent New York Times article “Advice on Using Your Credit Card While Traveling Abroad”, I thought I’d take a break from volunteer abroad or work abroad-specific posts and focus on some things about living abroad that are a little more general – like how to make sure your credit cards don’t get frozen.

Turning Middle East Study Abroad into a Career
Everything about the Middle East – the culture, the economy, the controversy – have been hot topics over the past few years, and as a result more and more students have chosen to study abroad in countries like Egypt, Israel, and even parts of Iraq. And according to a recent New York Times article, this isn’t just to gain a broader understanding of the Middle East, but to leverage the study abroad experience into a career.

The Visa Series Part III: Permanent Residence Visas
We’ve talked about the more basic kinds of visas – tourist and temporary – which are (relatively) painless to apply for and obtain. The permanent residency visa for working abroad is an entirely different kettle of fish.

The Visa Series Part II: Temporary Work Visas
