Del Maria: Live In A Garden In The Mountains Of Panama |
| - The temperature
is 75 degrees, there is no humidity, I can see for hundreds of miles, out
over the oceans, both oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific, there are flowers
and trees everywhere, two rivers, hiking trails, dozens of creeks, beautiful
houses, excellent neighbors, paved roads, electricity, telephone, internet
connections, Direct TV, pine trees, waterfalls, a heliport, and I'm 20
minutes by car from the beach and 20 minutes from a golf course. Feb./03 |

Exploring the Delta Area of Buenos Aires |
| - In early August the azaleas
and the jasmine started blooming in Buenos Aires. In the Southern
Hemisphere, springtime doesn’t officially arrive until September 21, but
these beautiful flowers know otherwise. With the warm, sunny days, I started
exploring Greater Buenos Aires. |

Protection - Moving Offshore |
| - by Frank M. Ahearn - In my last
article I taught you how to disappear. This week I was stranded in a hotel
room held hostage by daytime TV. I have to admit, it was a horrible experience
yet enlightening. Like a thunder bolt I realized that I had neglected to
explain why one should disappear or perhaps at least consider protecting
their assets, by going offshore. So here I am, lost in hotel hell, flicking
from one talk show to another. |

| Australia:
The Price of Adventure |
| - When my family and I decided to
undertake a move to Australia we found that, while we thought we had researched
the costs pretty effectively, we were woefully unprepared. My wife's
initial reaction was something along the lines of “I don’t think so” but
with a lot more expletives. Michael A. Kozlowski |

New Residency Program - Some Say It's The Best In The World! |
| - You can set up an office in Belize
and run your business from there, (taking advantage of the low overhead
costs, and tax free status we might add ) and still qualify for this program,
as long as none of the money your company earns comes from a source within
Belize. In this age of e-commerce and telecommuting , this scenario could
work for a vast number of people. ~ Bill & Claire Gray tell us how
to move to Belize - Sounds good, but who in their right mind wants to live
on a white-sand beach when they could be living in Detroit? |

| Belize
- one of the world’s top retirement havens |
| - From its Caribbean shores to its
jungle interior, Belize has great natural beauty—blue water, deserted beaches,
and inland retreats where you can explore Mayan ruins, tall waterfalls,
rainforests, and rivers. Bird watching in Belize’s interior is also a treat;
you’ll be able to spot parrots, toucans, flycatchers, and herons in their
natural habitat or visit a jaguar preserve where you can venture into the
jungle in search of the elusive cats. It’s no wonder Belize’s tourism industry
is booming. If recent figures are any indication; this tiny tropical paradise
could be on its way to becoming the next hot destination for explorers,
expats, retirees, and investors. Between 2003 and 2004, cruise visits to
this country increased by a full 55.1%—as opposed to just 13.1%, for example,
for the same period in the Bahamas. By Kathleen Peddicord |

Switzerland - Living in Switzerland |
| - by Aimée
Skidmore - I make the three minute walk to my four- year old daughter,
Celeste’s, neighborhood school four times a day. Each time I find
myself wondering what I am doing in Geneva, Switzerland. I feel guilty
that I have the time to make four trips to her school a day. Between
the times I have to be at the front door of the school when the automated
bell chimes four times, I wait for the nap alarm to go off on our bedside
clock. This indicates that I need, once again, to change from slippers
to shoes, and dash out the door. At times I long for my old teaching job
back home so I can have something to grumble about when my husband gets
home. Sometimes I actually use the nap feature and sleep away the
morning. Other times I try to read, but become restless, stack the
book on my leaning tower of bedside books, and jump up to sweep the floor
or do the dishes. Now and again I sit and stare out the window, eating
Swiss chocolate and sipping coffee. A feeling of contentedness slips
over me. May/04 |

Date ~ Ireland - Top O' The Mornin' |
| - Prior to
her very, very early "retirement" and her move with her Irish husband and
two young boys to their North County Dublin village of 8,000, Lori Alexander
was a Behavioralist and Program Coordinator for a large California day
program. About this article, Lori says, "We have just passed our year anniversary
here, and have basically run the adjustment gauntlet." Her article
entails an overview of the honeymoon phase, her initial shocks, homesickness,
and a year after. "I have begun to feel as though I have a place
here, some idea of what is expected of me, and where I fit in. I
want to stay who I am, hang onto what was instilled in me my first thirty
years, and now Ireland is becoming a part of that tapestry." |

for US Baby Boomers |
| - It is no
secret to anyone that the largest segment of The United States population
is about to, trying to, considering, or thinking about their retirements.
It is also widely known and published in numerous articles that this group
is concerned about their prospects - their choices are dwindling and their
hopes and dreams going up in smoke right before their eyes due to things
such as safety, health, finances, cost of living , hurricanes, floods,
earthquakes, healthcare and yes, added to the list in the past few years,
terrorism. May/07 |

Or Bust ~ Making A Change |

Or Bust Two ~ More On Moving To Fortaleza, Brazil |
| - by Andy
Neill - As I start to write about the second journey to what I hoped would
be my new home Brazil, it’s exactly one year to the day since I first landed
in Fortaleza. To say I had no idea what was in store for me over the next
few months would be a vast understatement. Let me go back to where Part
Two really begins, February 17th 2004, the day I flew back to the US after
my first ever trip to Brazil and Fortaleza. My month with Anne in Fortaleza
was etched in my mind and the memories created and friendships formed are
permanent reminders of that wonderful time. April/05 |

Or Bust ~ Part III |
| - by Andy Neill - To quickly recap
previous installments of my continuing saga, I came to Fortaleza, Brazil
in January 2004, following much research and after a rather tough divorce,
determined to discover another life…a better life! My first stay was a
month back in January of 2004. After a couple of months back in North
America, I was ready for chapter two. I came back to Fortaleza in May and,
except for August, have been here since. I pick up the story, as I’m about
to leave for Canada and the US on the 1st of August. Oct./05 |

In And Out Of New Zealand ~ Feeling At Home |
| - by Candy
Green - The Latin word for island is insula. The Romans lived in apartment-type
buildings in blocks surrounded by streets: islands. We get our English
words insular and insulation from it. New Zealand is an island nation,
surrounded by vast oceans. But, Kiwis are not an insulated people—they
do not insulate themselves or their houses! However, now that spring is
here we are getting out of our cold houses and thinking about what we will
do outside them. These activities can be as close as our gardens, but also
far away from them. I have been doing both. Nov./04 |

~ How To Live Overseas And Have The Place To Yourself |

And Karen Hay - One way to move overseas would be to take care of somebody's
exclusive million dollar home. And there are a number of people who become
caretakers in places such as Costa Rica, New Zealand and Mexico. Taking
care of the house and living on a nice piece of real estate might be the
answer to your stationary blues. May03 |

in Geneva ~ Living in Geneva |
| - by Aimée
Skidmore - The invitation for the monthly Parent Student Association coffee
was crumpled up in Isabel’s back pack when I found it on Wednesday morning.
I sat in the kitchen, looking at the paper and trying to decide whether
I should go or not. My eyes settled on the address of this month’s
get-together: Centre Chavannes, Chavannes de Bogis. I didn’t know
where that was and so decided immediately to attend. I didn’t really
care for the last meeting, but the mission to travel without a car was
irresistible. June/04 |
