Neither would necessarily want to make someone go out and expatriate, but both David Sedaris and J. Maarten Troost write extremely stuff about living abroad

“I’m a stranger here myself” - Bill Bryson. Interesting take on going back home after being an expat for over 20 years. It’s more a collection of stories than articles. Also I enjoyed “Don’t stop the carnival” Herman Wouk. About an expat who left New York for a new life in the Caribbean
