Hi, I'm Gregory

I’ve worked as a business consultant in various places, including China, India, and Europe. Outside of the US, I’ve lived in Belgium, Croatia, Germany, and the UK. I live in Austria now. It amounts to almost twenty years living abroad. And I learned a few things along the way.

Let me hear from you

If you are curious about living outside the US, have a look here for insights and knowledge based on almost twenty years spent in Europe and the UK. I have lived, worked, purchased property, raised children, married, and divorced here. If you have any questions or don’t see what you’re looking for, email me.
