International Yacht Broker  - Boats, Barges, Ships & Yachts From Around The World - We know there are a lot of expats living on barges in Europe, and an even greater number living on yachts in the Caribbean.  It seems like a good idea to provide a low cost way to put buyers and sellers in touch with one other on an international basis. It's in keeping with the thrust of our website; international lifestyles, international living, unique lifestyles, living overseas.  What could be better than living on a barge in France?  The only thing I can think of is living on a yacht in the Caribbean.  ...or how about Brazil?  ...or Tahiti? If you don't want to live on your yacht, but just park it in front of your house, we suggest you visit our new Caribbean Real Estate website and buy yourself a waterfront house in the Dutch Antilles.

What To Expect When Buying Real Estate In Kiev ~ The City Of Kiev ~ By Jason Jones - Kiev was the original capital of Russia but after the Mongol invasions of the 13th century the power of the city declined and the city was eventually controlled by the Golden Horde in Mongolia.

If you are interested in buying real estate or a home there is a wide selection to chose from and the above article will give you some ideas about what you should look out for when buying property in Kiev. You should also remember that there are some beautiful towns that sit on the edge of the Black Sea in the Crimea: these are but a short trip from Kiev and might be a nice spot to buy a summer home to compliment your home in Kiev.
