A How-To Guide for Study Abroad, Alternative High School, and Finding Low-Cost College Options

Published in 2009 by Crown/Three Rivers Press (a division of Random House), THE NEW GLOBAL STUDENT is a helpful guide book full of tips and stories to inspire those who want a personalized, thrilling, and affordable path through high school, college, and beyond. See how students are ditching the traditional route and graduating from college at 20 with a wildly relevant education and no debt.

In addition to its popularity among high school students and their grateful parents, the book has become the go-to guide for Rotary Youth Exchange students around the world, as well as homeschooling, unschooling, and worldschooling families, international travelers, and those exploring the location-independent lifestyle.

​It has been a joy to serve as a consultant for so many students, families, and digital nomads during the last ten years! I am honored to have played even a tiny role in so many remarkable journeys.
