Live Better...for Less...
in a Tropical Paradise...Today!
Almost 30 years ago, when International Living suggested that an exotic life in a tropical paradise wasn't just for the rich and famous...that you can do it now for less money than you currently live on...it was a radical idea.
And the idea of living a happier, more fulfilling, more prosperous life offshore still strikes many people as a radical idea simply because they don't have the whole story.
But at International Living we know from experience that there are a host of places around the world that are cheaper...healthier...safer...freer... than you ever thought possible.
Our job is to help you discover those places, and then to help you take advantage of the opportunities they offer—opportunities to improve your quality of life...to lower your cost of living...to invest for profitable return—before the rest of the world catches on.
Good News if You’re Thinking of Buying in Brazil
When I was in Brazil last month, I met a young Brazilian/American couple in Fortaleza. They explained to me that as soon as someone from southern Brazil can afford to, he visits the beaches of Ceara (the state which Fortaleza is in). This is a common trend throughout the world--when incomes rise, people begin buying things like cars and vacations. The emergence of a new middle class drives consumer spending.
Here’s why this is good news for us…

São Luís Brazil: Large Colonial Homes by the Sea for $108,200
São Luís is a fascinating cultural blend of French, Dutch, African, and Portuguese influences. The best example of this is the food. You’ll find everything from rich and hearty seafood stews to fresh fish, to huge pots simmering with black beans, beef, pork, and sausage…a Brazilian signature dish known as feijoada. And the aroma of fresh-baked bread and delectable pastries coming from the French bakeries will remind you that the French were the first ones here.
Use Your Credit Card to Secure Your Apartment in Brazil
From my balcony table on the 17th floor, I look out at some of the most dazzling turquoise water and white, fine sandy beaches that you’re ever likely to see. The palms are swaying, the Bossa Nova is romantic, and the warm, gentle ocean breeze is the perfect complement to today’s 80° Fahrenheit temperature.
This is Brazil. And I’ve spent the last several weeks continuing my exploration of its 4,800 miles of beautiful coastline—enjoying some of the world’s best weather—while researching IL’s Brazil: The Owner’s Manual.
