Köpa hus i Frankrike är en kärleksförklaring till det franska livet. Författarparet Christer Rudh och Linda Linnskog Rudh bjuder på en oemotståndlig berättelse om hur de tog steget och köpte ett gammalt byhus på Franska rivieran. Boken varvar personliga upplevelser med handfasta råd – perfekt för dig som också drömmer om det goda livet i södra Frankrike. Det här är inte en torr guidebok, utan en levande berättelse där kunskap, misstag, drömmar och praktiska råd samverkar. Den ger trygghet i en snårig process, men också en påminnelse om varför du ens vill köpa ett hus utomlands: för att följa en dröm, en längtan efter ett rikare liv. Faktauppgifterna är genomgångna av experter, men särskilt juridik, avtal och skatter bör ses som vägvisare snarare än slutgiltiga svar – använd dem som signaler: "Det här behöver jag kolla upp!" Förutom författarnas egna tankar, erfarenheter och glädjeämnen, får du även ta del av intervjuer med andra svenskar som köpt bostad i södra Frankrike. Resultatet är både inspirerande och informativt – oavsett om du är redo att köpa, eller bara drömmer än så länge.
Villa Volvo Vovve

Words shape and redefine reality, a constantly evolving and fluid interpretation of social rules and ideas. Foreign words expose us to other realities, unfamiliar practices and exotic beliefs. They can help us discover feelings that are not expressible in our native language. They can inspire us to adopt a new lifestyle, or question the way we live. They may seem obvious, obscure, quirky, unnecessary, universal, or remarkably niche.Swedish has enriched the English language with moped, ombudsman, and smorgasbord. While culturally, Abba, Ikea, Spotify, and Volvo have become part of the global lexicon and in many ways transcend their Swedish origins. But it is more recent words like lagom (moderation) and fika (coffee breaks) which have pushed Swedish language and culture deeper into the global consciousness. But Sweden is more than lifestyle trends and technical solutions. It is the country of fredagsmys (cosy Friday), kosläpp (release of the cows), lillördag (little Saturday, Wednesday), and where the average citizen dreams of a villa, Volvo and a vovve.- Explore the Swedish lifestyle beyond the cliches, with the help of more than 100 Swedish words, translated into English.- Learn more about the country where yes is just another word for no, where the word for poison is the same as for married, and where words without meaning are described as mashed snow.- Listen to three different Swedish dialects with complementary audio files, and wrap your tongue around the pronunciation tricks you need to master to sound like a local.- Be challenged with language quizzes, word games and crossword puzzles.- Enjoy the silliness of direct translations, false friends and other quirky features of the Swedish language — and learn more about the origins of those words we think of as Swedish today.Villa Volvo Vovve is inspired by The Local’s popular ‘Word of the day’ column which continues to explore Swedish language and culture beyond global stereotypes and buzz words.

Let’s face it. These days, many of the world’s most beloved places have become expensive and overcrowded, making their celebrated allure that much harder to enjoy. But fear not: Here Not There helps you create a more robust, off-the-beaten path vacation by revealing 100 alternative destinations to the standard travel playbook - as well as expert tips on when to visit, where to eat, what to see, and where to stay. In this surprising collection of lively travel itineraries, you’ll find authentic, unexpected, and rewarding destinations of a lifetime to add to your bucket list, including: A trip to Quito, Ecuador, instead of Lima, Peru, for iconic architecture and top-notch South American cuisine. A road trip along West Virginia’s byways instead of New England’s highways for brilliant autumn colours. A romantic rendezvous to Lecce, Italy, instead of mega-touristed Florence for art, wine, and artifacts.A hiking excursion in Chile’s Lake District instead of England’s for an unexpected natural wonder.A theater-infused visit to Cleveland, Ohio, where the performances match the levels of New York City’s Broadway.A tour of Portugal’s Azores, rather than the Hawaiian islands, for flora, fauna, and underwater adventures.A water-filled excursion through New York’s Thousand Islands instead of a cruise down Germany’s Rhine River.A trip to Detroit to find Art Deco skyscrapers (and even a beach in Motown) that rival those of Miami. Both surprising and inspiring, Here Not There offers readers a chance to think beyond our typical borders and discover undreamed-of destinations.

'A very funny tome' DAILY TELEGRAPH'Hilarious' DAILY MAIL'A profoundly instructive course in the idiosyncrasies of Greek law, custom and culture ... entertainingly chronicled' SAGA* * * * * *From Radio 4 presenter, bestselling author and national treasure John Humphrys, a funny and engaging memoir of building a home in Greece written together with his son Christopher.It was a moment of mad impulse when John Humphrys decided to buy a semi-derelict cottage and a building site on a plot of land overlooking the Aegean. A few minutes gazing out over the most glorious bay he had ever seen was all it took to persuade him. After all, his son Christopher was already raising his family there so he would help build the beautiful villa that would soon rise there. What could possibly go wrong?Everything.John was to spend the next three years regretting his moment of madness.Some of it had its comic side. He learned to cope with a drunken peacock falling out of his favourite tree and even a colony of rats invading his bedroom. Some of the humans proved trickier: the old man demanding payment for olive trees in the middle of John's own land; the neighbour who dragged his lovely old fishing boat onto the beach and set fire to it after a row with his wife. And, of course, the builders. Was the plumber who electrocuted him in the shower vengeful or merely incompetent?John learned a lot about Greece in a short time. He grew to love it and loathe it in almost equal measures, but was never for a moment bored by it. And Christopher learned a bit more about John. Their shared experience revived keen memories for him of growing up with a father for whom patience was never the strongest virtue...Here father and son capture the idyll and the odyssey as paradise is found, lost and regained.

Året var 1986. Lotta hade hunnit fylla 18 år och nu stod hon inte ut längre. Hon klev på tåget som skulle ta henne på sitt livs resa till Italien och efter bara ett par dagar träffar hon sin blivande make. En månad senare befinner hon sig i en helt ny tillvaro i pojkvännens familj i ett litet italienskt samhälle med allt vad det innebär. Men hur är det egentligen med de hetlevrade grannarna, de patriotiska svenska väninnorna, den elaka prästen och för att inte tala om den där italienska svärmodern som verkar dyka upp lite varstans?

I denna lättsamma självbiografi, något överdriven men alltid med glimten i ögat och skrattet nära till hands, delar författaren med sig av exempel på situationer som kan uppstå i ett nytt land och i en ny familj med språkförbistringar och initial misstänksamhet från svärmor. En misstänksamhet som övergår till en livslång vänskap, även efter att författaren och maken separerat och hon återvänt till Sverige.

Det här är Lottas Italien.

A deliciously different travelogueIn 2005, Cathy and Jason threw in successful careers as TV presenters and producers to become olive farmers in Italy. With their one year old daughter and Italian dictionary in tow, they found themselves in the middle of a European nowhere untouched by modernity. They were on a steep learning curve in more-or-less everything – finding out how to prune an olive tree so that a sparrow can pass through its branches, learning what beauty products are de rigeur in the changing rooms of a local Italian football team, being trained, by a local Italian choir, how to sing in English but with an Italian accent – and learning the rigorous rules of when one is allowed to consume a cappuccino. Armed with their indefatigable love of food, they headed off many a potentially tricky situation by cooking their way out of it, a sure route to the heart of any Italian.They discover that olive farming is dominated by the big boys and desperate to turn their new home into a way of making a living they cast around for ideas of how they can do so. A flash of inspiration led them to launch an 'Adopt-an-Olive-Tree' scheme. For a fee buyers could adopt a tree, receive produce from it and even go and visit it to give it a hug. The scheme became hugely popular with trees selling out way ahead of expectations. A contract with Selfridges followed and suddenly Cathy and Jason's dream is realised. Or nearly anyway. It's a hard slog and they meet every challenge with fortitude and humour but what they hadn't expected was that the biggest challenge would be the quiet of the countryside. Soon they find themselves hankering for the sounds and stench of the city and facing a difficult decision on what they should do next.

Orlando, the original Sloane-dog and intrepid gapper, will finally release his diaries to inspire other travellers to follow in his chunder-filled footsteps. From sleepless nights in Buenos Aires to charitable endeavours in Tanzanah, Orlando will give the low-down on the ultimate gap experience…Just back from his travels, our intrepid Sloane-dog wants to pass on the knowledge he has literally gleaned about the world''s best cash-lash ratio hotspots, cultural landmarks (bars), and the ways of societies other than our own (shooting a cow in Cambodia).Rootling around Tarquin''s rucksack, Orlando finds a battered guidebook – sadly all but completely defaced with chunder from one of their many heroic Pisco Sour, Margarita or Mai Tai sessions. So to compile the ultimate dossier of advice for the generations that will follow in his Ugg-booted footsteps, Orlando has snipped out the salvageable bits and interspersed them with pages from his own diary and a few other bits and bobs he''s found on the net or in the lining of his bag.From budgeting for your time away (mummy and daddy''s credit card) and what not to bring (landmines – they''ve already got plenty over here, if anything, too many), to how to say ''vomcano'' in Spanish, this is the absolutely essential spiritual, political and cultural guide to making the most of your gap yah.

In 2009, on the outskirts of the southern metropolis of Guangzhou, Xian villagers secretly prepared for the Dragon Boat Festival. For them, the commemoration of the 221 BC poet Qu Yuan, who threw himself into a river to protest official corruption, held particular resonance. Guangzhou''s drive to become a ''National Model City'' ahead of the 2010 Asia Games accelerated a voracious demand for land, turning the ground beneath the villagers'' feet into a commodity as valuable as diamonds, a treasure too rich for local officials to ignore. Dragons in Diamond Village is about the courage of individuals: Huang Minpeng, a semi-literate farmer turned self-taught rights defender; He Jieling, a suburban housewife who just wanted to open a hair salon; Xian villagers like Lu Zhaohui who refuse to give up the land their families have cultivated for generations. Theirs is a community bound by shared history and a belief in the necessity of change, a band of unlikely activists fighting for their place in China''s new cities. ''A beautifully written account of how China''s traditional rural past is meeting – and struggling with – its urbanising present . . . Via deftly told tales of China''s little-known urban villages, Bandurski expertly guides readers through a mostly overlooked landscape and modern history.'' Adam Minter, author of Junkyard Planet ''David Bandurski is a modern-day Marco Polo taking us into the heart of new China.'' Kevin Sites, author of Swimming with Warlords and In the Hot Zone ''Vivid depictions of how villagers and migrants, living through the lawless and violent storms of Chinese urban land development, turn into political resistors. An important book of social reportage in the traditions of Liu Binyan and Studs Terkel.'' Susan Shirk, author of China: Fragile Superpower and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State during the Clinton administration ''Bandurski combines his deep knowledge of China''s history and culture with graceful writing to produce a thoroughly enjoyable book, and an important one for understanding the tension at the heart of China''s breakneck pace of change.''

Living and working abroad. Sounds glamorous—and maybe it is, if you're posted to Hong Kong or Sydney. But what if your company sends you to Bangkok, Warsaw, or Manila? Many questions arise: Is it safe to go out at night? Do quality schools exist? How polluted is the air? Is public transportation handy? What's the average monthly rent for a decent house? What inoculations should you get before you go? Can you find your favorite brand of toothpaste? The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Eastern Europe and Asia answers these and many other questions expats will have about the cities that companies send employees to most often in Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.Though the heart of the book is the city-by-city listing, it also includes tips on preparing for the move, dealing with culture shock, staying connected to the home front, understanding the psychological aspects of living abroad, country-specific business and social etiquette, and other topics of concern to workers sent abroad. The guide also includes information for corporate HR people: When a cost of living differential is appropriate and how to calculate it, how to obtain necessary work permits and visas, how to help employees stay as safe and secure as possible, and how to arrange for healthcare and insurance. Best of all, the information is up to date and comes right from the fresh research of Mercer—the consultancy many other companies turn to for advice and the latest facts regarding working and living conditions in all corners of the globe. That's why this book will help expatriate employees feel at home in cities far from their native land whether it's Seoul, Moscow, or Dubai.

The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Eastern Europe and Asia answers these and many other questions expats will have about the cities that companies send employees to most often in Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.Though the heart of the book is the city-by-city listing, it also includes tips on preparing for the move, dealing with culture shock, staying connected to the home front, understanding the psychological aspects of living abroad, country-specific business and social etiquette, and other topics of concern to workers sent abroad. The guide also includes information for corporate HR people: When a cost of living differential is appropriate and how to calculate it, how to obtain necessary work permits and visas, how to help employees stay as safe and secure as possible, and how to arrange for healthcare and insurance. Best of all, the information is up to date and comes right from the fresh research of Mercer—the consultancy many other companies turn to for advice and the latest facts regarding working and living conditions in all corners of the globe. That's why this book will help expatriate employees feel at home in cities far from their native land whether it's Seoul, Moscow, or Dubai.
