Catching the travel bug at age twenty, Terry Repak longed to live overseas someday. She didn’t foresee spending fifteen years in countries like Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Switzerland; nor did she guess that living abroad would transform her and her family into global citizens and gift them with resilience, perspective, and a profound sense of home.
When Terry Repak and her husband moved to West Africa with two small children at the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1990s, she seized the opportunity to connect with people of other cultures and bear witness to the ravages of the disease. Circling Home chronicles the adventures and challenges of raising children to be global citizens and trying to find home in countries as diverse as Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Switzerland. Her memoir spotlights the complexity, struggles, and profound lessons at the heart of the expat journey.

Terry A. Repak studied journalism in college and worked as a reporter for a few years before returning to graduate school. She earned a master’s degree in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a PhD at Emory University. She and her partner lived in East and West Africa as well as in Europe, where he worked in the AIDS field and Terry wrote and raised their children. She has authored two other non-fiction books, numerous travel articles for newspapers and magazines, and her research has been published in academic journals. She lives in Seattle where she continues to write, to teach English to foreign language learners (ELL) and to garden, hike, and swim.
