[Updated Sunday, April 22, 2012] This group serves expatriates and "global nomads," past and present, youth and adult, and those interested or involved in expatriate life, including their teachers, students, family members, friends, and business associates.

What are the value and impact of growing up, studying, teaching, working or living overseas? How can we connect with others who share and value this experience? How do we behave in this culture or that? What about employment and service? And how can this experience help us address the issues and challenges facing the world as a whole?

"Global nomads," a term coined by the late Norma McCaig, basically describes people who lived overseas as minors; often as young people with diplomatic, missionary, business, academic, or military parents. This group was inspired by Norma and her great work, originally focused on Norma's friends and associates, but is now open to expates and expate concerns of all kinds - including people from other lands who live, study or work in the US. It is now a Geotrees open posting group - that is, anyone may read the 'mail, or post to the group, without membership. But to receive 'mailings as they appear, you'll have to become a member.

We welcome you to discuss your experience, your insights, and your interests with other nomadic people! This group is an activity of Geotrees.Com in metro Washington, DC. Do you wish more information? Contact us at anjinsan@geotrees.com.
