Moving abroad? Book Rap on Wednesday describes one person's experience

Former Washington Post reporter Frank Ahrens talks about what it's like to leave your job and start all over again in a new country with a new career at a Club Book Rap on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 6:30 p.m.

In 2010, after 18 years at the Post, Ahrens married Rebekah Davis, a newly minted U.S. foreign service officer on her way to a posting in South Korea. He joined her in Seoul, leaving his career and country and becoming director of global public relations for Hyundai Motor in Seoul. He was promoted to vice president two years later, becoming the highest-ranking non-Korean, and the only American, at Hyundai headquarters.

Ahrens detailed his experience in "Seoul Man." He's now with his family in Northern Virginia in the U.S, and works as a public relations executive in Washington.
