    Frequently Asked Quesitons

    • Yes! Paperback workbooks can be ordered on the homepage or at www.stayorgoworkbook.com/shop. You can also request the book be ordered through your local bookstore.

    • Please check your SPAM folder! The workbook should be available to download immediately after purchasing using the download button in the confirmation screen AND it should be sent in a confirmation email. We have seen a number of these get snagged in people’s SPAM folder, so please check your SPAM.

      If it’s not delivered to the email you provided (via your inbox or SPAM) then please send us a message through the contact form on our website and we’ll sort it out.

    • The Stay or Go Workbook is appropriate for all ages, though geared toward people over the age of 18 and able to make their own legal decisions. It’s derived from our specific political and social commitments to feminism, LGBTQ+ liberation, and racial, and economic justice rooted in the USA contexts we were raised in. We think the prompts will be useful for anyone who gives a shit about being kind to other people, even if you're not upset or worried about the same things we are.

    • No, this book doesn’t provide any simple or clear answers for your very personal decisions! It’s designed to help people decide if they should go or stay.

      It provides steps to direct the should-I-go-or-stay energy into preparing to leave OR rooting in to stay with intention and purpose.

      While the workbook is designed to help people identify where they might want to go and support them in doing the research to determine if a certain country might be viable, this book does not provide legal guidance or an up-to-date list of international visa rules.

      We provide a list of relocation experts and other technical resources at the end of the book as a starting place for your next right steps.
