My book, "Transcontinental Overload - a Memoir of Movement, Meltdowns & Making a Life In Between", will be published in less than a week, on October 23!
It's available to pre-order both as paperback and ebook here in the US (you can find it anywhere from Amazon to Barnes & Noble). In the UK and Europe, it's currently only available as ebook on Amazon, but you can pre-order the paperback version at other booksellers (for example, Thalia or Hugendubel in Germany). I don't know why it's not all happening at the same time, but I'm sure you'll be able to find it soon.
As a little perk, if you pre-order (and send me a screenshot), I'll add you to the guest list for my Zoom book launch party in November 😍 Can't wait to share my story!

Meine neue Podcastfolge ist da - heute geht’s mit Frank nach San Francisco! In unserer extra langen Folge (ihr braucht ja was zum Hören für die Sommerpause) findet ihr heraus, wie es sich für zwei deutsche gerade so anfühlt in Amerika in diesen sehr extremen Zeiten.
Wir reden über Freundschaft, Freundlichkeit, Akzeptanz, Angst(macherei) und darüber, was passiert wenn man seinen Job verliert, weil man zu nett ist.

Danke, Frank, für dieses schöne Gespräch mit Tiefgang!
