About the Author
Michael Durham Sanford was born in Dallas, Texas… aka "Big D," which was also once called the "City of Hate," He remains, as always, a very proud Texan.
He’s a technologist, a linguist, an educator, an inventor, an entrepreneur, and a passionate advocate and agent for positive change in people… aka transformation.
But more than anything else that defines Michael, if he had to choose, it’s transformation through the EXPAT journey. Living abroad has served not only himself but also members of his family and many friends along the way.
His experiences with the amazing process of what he’s coined EXPATransformation continue to serve him to this very day, in his new home he and his new family built in the Amazon Rainforest, high in the enchanting Colombian Andes, with his wife, Marleny.
Michael has truly found his Bliss!
Michael and Marleny’s bilingual wedding in Fort Worth, Texas… April 2019.
The view from the balcony of their home… hence the name.
Book Review
Margaret Poling
Professional Beta Reader, Review & Critique
I was recently engaged to both read and critique the final draft of EXPATransformation before its publication… my lucky day!
This jewel of a book offers just the right amount of humor, motivational content, serious life lessons, and that all-important personal touch. As you read, you feel as though you effortlessly meander in and out of stories that transport you back to different times and venues. You’re introduced to an amazing cast of expats whose stories span more than 100 years, yet inspire us still today!
Michael Durham Sanford is pure talent. He has a classic, witty charm to his writing craft. He comes off as well-educated, well-traveled (obviously), but also down-to-earth and humble in the best of ways. His writing keeps you interested in his, his family’s, and his friends’ life stories and teaches you lessons about your own. I couldn’t put it down!
EXPATransformation is well worth the read. It is an eye-opening, life-changing, and refreshing wake-up call. I know it will light a fire in the hearts of every reader as it has mine! I will definitely be making some changes for the R̶e̶s̶t̶ BEST of my life!
