Are you returning "home" after living, working or studying abroad? Warning: for most people, re-entry (also called reverse culture shock or repatriation) is the HARDEST part of the entire living abroad experience!

That's why the Re-entry Roadmap workbook takes you by the hand and guides you through this challenging transition.

Filled with fresh insights, thought-provoking activities, and actionable advice, the Re-entry Roadmap gives you the keys to greater insight, meaning, and ease in re-entry by helping you:

(1) Process your complex emotions,

(2) Navigate changing relationships,

(3) Talk about your life abroad in a way that engages others,

(4) Be the authentic, global person you've become...everywhere,

(5) Create a future that's even better than your past! .

This lively, humorous, and engaging guide then shows you how to put what you've learned about yourself into a plan of action - your "Forward Launch" - for living a beautiful, meaningful, and satisfying global life that you love no matter where in the world you are.

Whether you're just about to return, are in the middle of the re-entry or have been back a while, the Re-entry Roadmap will help you find confidence, clarity, and connection, as well as your best next step.

Review

"If there's one thing the global nomad needs to have in their toolkit, it's this book. Cate Brubaker gives practical and reflective advice for those who eventually have to navigate the fog of home re-entry and transitions." --Amanda Bates, Founder of The Black Expat

Amazon Reviews from the 2nd edition: .
October 13, 2016 - Amazon Customer LOVE this book. Very down to earth with a sense of humor. Perfect for a college student or recent grad. The activities here are fun, reflective, relevant and incredibly useful. Would be a great gift for a friend or relative just returning from an international adventure or study abroad...October 6, 2016 - Amazon CustomerIf you are currently at loose ends after time abroad, grab this book! Cate Brubaker asks questions that will get you thinking, appreciating, and looking ahead. It's like sitting with a good friend and ranting, laughing, and brainstorming your way into a future that delights you. And at the end you'll have a visual reminder of who you are, what you've experienced, how you've grown, and where you're headed...October 4, 2016 - Amazon CustomerThe Re-entry Roadmap has been an excellent resource to help me process my re-entry experience. While it often feels like re-entry is the part of living abroad no one talks about, Cate dives right in and puts a positive spin on it. However, the book tenderly creates space for working through the difficult moments of re-entry--you can tell Cate has been through this process more than once! The Roadmap is also interactive, visually appealing, and easy to understand...October 5, 2016 - Amazon CustomerThe Relaunch Roadmap takes the incredibly difficult and oftentimes heartbreaking process of reintegrating into a native culture and turns it into something manageable. Dr. Brubaker's conversational tone and breadth of experience make this process accessible to anyone whether student, volunteer, teacher, or expat. She walks you step by step through reflecting on the experiences you've had while encouraging you to find ways to keep those experiences alive even though you may not be abroad anymore. I will certainly recommend this book to clients and friends going through reentry transition.

5.0 out of 5 stars If coming "home" has ever befuddled you, this is YOUR read
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Cate takes a huge topic and helps you connect to the many aspects of re-entry - but more importantly she guides you in how to think about re-entry differently and with purpose/intention. The activities she has crafted are not overwhelming yet deeply effective, the framework is logical, and the tool is action oriented. Whether you're a solo traveler trying to figure out your next steps once returning "home" or an int'l ed office attempting to support students to think beyond their dorm room doors, this is a great tool. Highly recommend!

I return from living in China for over nine years, and this was by far the best repatriation book I read. The exercises are useful, and the writing is clear and helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book on re-entry full of expectation and hope! The best book on the topic out there I think.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019
Having lived in lived in three different countries throughout my life in addition to many shorter term cross-cultural experiences I'm a bit of junky when it comes to reading and helping others through re-entry.
I started to read this book thinking, "oh what is there really new to say on this topic?" OH MY GOODNESS this practical workbook is the FIRST book you should read on the topic and perhaps the only one! It's filled with exercises which when you go through re-entry everything can be feeling like it's happening TO you and you're feeling so much stuff but it's all so intense you need help to pull things apart and name what you're experiencing and who you want to be as you go through the re-entry experience.

Cate does a brilliant job of helping the reader realize that being a global person is what I will always be. I'm not re-entering and saying goodbye to a part of myself... instead I'm re-entering and I need to find ways to continue to feed the global part of myself with adventures. I just moved back to the US after living in Europe 11 years and what that looked like for me was finding ways to make exploring the America I was no longer very familiar with, letting it be a new adventure instead of feeling only sad about what I no longer had. Being in America allowed new opportunities for adventure. Brilliant! So, for me that meant planning a road trip to Alabama to learn about the civil rights history in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham. It meant reading the new book "Parkland" about the school shooting, it meant buying a bike and exploring all the new bike trails in my area, it meant exploring some of the hundreds of incredible immigrant owned restaurants in my town. This book was instrumental in helping me thrive through re-entry and not just sit sad and cynical in my American town missing a different life.

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019
This workbook makes a great companion to re-entry after being abroad. I love the reflection exercises and tips, which help guide you through processing those complex emotions and channel them toward something constructive, whether you're able to go abroad again or not. The beautiful illustrations, clear lay-out, and inspiring quotes really take this resource to the next level. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make the most of their global life.

This workbook is a must for everyone re-entering their home-country or a country they have lived before. Cate Brubaker experienced re-entry herself and guides you through the different stages, helps you reframe your re-entry, understand the process and manage your expectations before and during transition. With simple steps this book helps you and your family address the most important steps of a healthy re-entry. You will define your very own Global Life Ingredients that will make you reframe your perspective on your international life from "being abroad" vs "being at home" to "living a global life" that includes this re-entry as one of the mile markers on your journey.
