Living Overseas
Horses On The Beach And Other Tales Of Living In Paradise - Bocas del Toro, Panama ~ by Cindy Cody - Every morning when I wake up, there’s a different picture outside my sliding glass doors on this lagoon in Bocas del Toro, Panamá. This morning a white mist hovers over a pearl gray sea, like fine mesh. I feel like the Lady of the Lake, floating on top of a cloud in my bed. Then Elvis starts barking. He’s chasing the horses out of the yard again and sounds like he’s on doggie drugs. His bark has the edge of hysteria: GET OUT OF MY YAR YAR YAR YAR YARD! 
Romania's Road To Heaven ~ And Answers To Last Month's Questions ~ by Kevin Stillmock - Imagine a path that led you along a dramatically changing natural landscape of spectacular waterfalls, rugged mountains, ancient underground temples, volcanoes, and prairies where wild buffalo still roam. You might believe that it was the path to Heaven itself. In fact it is Romania's own road to Heaven; a brand new superhighway under construction, costing about 2 billion EURO, with an expected completion date of 2010-2012.
Inti, Shamanic Wisdom From Ecuador - In Quito ~ by Mark McMahon - During my recent visit to Quito Ecuador, I had the privledge and pleasure of participating in a small conference of Shamans and Native Healers. It was organized by Dr. Maximilliano Moreno, director Ecotrackers. There were about ten people in attendance, including academics in Anthroplogy and Sociology from several countries. One particapant, a Toltec Indian from Mexico, lead the group in a series of energy exercises. (Toltec Tai-chi!) The Shaman, currently living in Quito, is from the same lineage as Don Juan Matus described by Carlos Castaneda in his books.
Canadian Immigration - No College Degree? No Problem! ~ by Polina Skibinskaya - Consistently rated among the top countries in the world especially in terms of quality of life, Canada has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for the scores of people who have come to its shores and embraced its progressive, egalitarian, multi-lateral way of life. A rich history of widely varying cultures coming together and working towards peace and harmony is embroidered within the very fabric of Canadian society. Tolerance, understanding and civility are the cornerstones of the multicultural mosaic that is Canada.
Live On Margarita Island On $800 A Month? - Answers To Questions ~ by Scott Boswell - Retire to the Caribbean on $800 a Month? ...is this a true story or fiction? There have been several articles published about Margarita Island, Venezuela in the last few months. (Margarita Island is located in the Southern Caribbean, just off the northern coast of Venezuela - it is the State of Nueva Esparta, Venezuela). One such article suggested that you could retire to this island on $800 a month.
Travels in Australia - More From The East Coast Of Australia ~ by Dawnelle Salant - Last month, I began my adventures on the East Coast of Australia, starting off in Cairns and journeying south to Magnetic Island. Leaving Magnetic and continuing farther south, I’ve been taking my time and enjoying all that the Coast has to offer. I see way too many travelers rushing down to Sydney, missing out on so many new and original experiences. The East Coast of Australia has so much to offer that sometimes I think I could probably spend the rest of my traveling days happily following the shoreline as it winds around some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I haven't come across a single place that I wouldn't return to in an instant - but some locations definitely stand out from the rest.
The Boondocks, Commodities, Universities - Thoughts From Colima, Mexico ~ by Jurgen Klemann - Every now and then I can’t resist using the phrase that Colima is located “in the boondocks”. Using the phrase “in the boondocks” may go a little over the top when chatting about Colima now. However, life in Colima must have been a little different ten or fifteen years ago. That’s at least the impression I get when I listen to Mexican friends of mine who shifted from Mexico City to Colima more than ten years ago. Ten or fifteen years ago it must have been a little difficult to buy some stuff that you take for granted in more cosmopolitan places.
Preparing For Expatriotism - More From An American In The Dominican Republic ~ by Elizabeth Roebling - It is the very people who are led to escape America who may in fact be exporting the best of it. Those who are discontent and yet hopeful are always the immigrants, the adventurers, and the colonists. Those with no hope just lie down on the couch and flip the remote. The lyrics from one Paul Simon song roll around in my brain: “the thought that life could be better, is woven indelibly into our hearts and brains.” If you have come to these pages, you have that hope. Examine what is it, really, that lures and drives you.
Splendid Sarajevo - Europe's Best Kept Secret ~ by Maryam Manteghi - You don’t have to be an adventurer to appreciate the unique beauties of Bosnia and Herzegovina. While the name evokes memories of a war-torn past, today’s BiH is the country all the ex-humanitarian workers come back to visit again and again. Bosnia’s natural beauties and wonders are unparalleled. A country of rugged hills, mountains, rivers and lakes, eco-tourism has become all the rage here with opportunities for river rafting, mountain climbing, skiing and paragliding in an untouched, pristine natural wonderland.
Pugilism And Poultry - Even The Chickens Can Box In Phnom Penh ~ by Antonio Graceffo - Sunday is usually the day that I go to watch Khmer kickboxing in Phnom Penh. But on this particular day, my driver, Sameth, promised to take me to see something really exciting. We turned down a dirt road, about twenty minutes outside of the city, and ended at a dubious looking arena, in a rural farming community. The big foreigner with the notebook received a lot of odd stares, and a portly Khmer, in a dirty T-shirt gave us the third degree. “Who are you? "What are you doing here? Who told you about this place".
Renovating A Home In Morelia, Mexico - The Krondorfer’s Experience ~ by Sandy Caputo - Karin and Werner Krondorfer could fit a beautiful people profile. Their 40-year-plus marriage has seen them making their lives in Europe, the United States and Mexico. They regularly travel to Chicago, Pittsburgh and Stuttgart to keep-up with the hectic lives of their three grown sons, spouses and four grandchildren. Return visits have them showing guests the special sights and tastes of Mexico that convinced them to choose it for their retirement. 
Into The Amazonian Badlands - Remote Amazon ~ by El Vagabundo - Outlaw territory is where we were headed. After the 84th km the National Police and Marine patrols became more frequent and visible. The land begins to roll into the foothills of the Cordillera Azul that will itself rise into the Andes 300 km to the West. It was the week before Christmas and six years after the first time I had set eyes on this land. I fell in love with this hill country back then even though, unbeknownst to me, the place was off limits to US government personnel. The notable exceptions being the usual CIA operatives and Special Forces “advisors”.
Relocation, Relocation, Relocation! - Moving To The South Of Spain ~ by Mark FR Wilkins - Over the last few years we have heard an increasing number, perhaps apocryphal tales of UK citizens “not recognising “ the country they grew up in. Feeling alienated in their own country and looking for a way out. When you decide that you are nearing the end a busy working life, your family have fled the nest or you simply want a better quality of life for your family, your mind will inevitably wander to questions of whether there is a better quality of life to be found elsewhere. We’ve all attended those “lifestyle” shows at the NEC or Olympia where the prospect of 330 days a year of sun, a milder climate for arthritic bones, a golf course for every day of the week, international quality schooling and a magnificently diversity of influences are dangled carrot like beneath our noses.

So You Want To Retire In Paradise - Thoughts On Bali, Singapore And New Guinea ~ by Bruce E. Pohlmann - Once upon a time, there was a man with a band of children, a lovely wife and a house in Bali. Life was good, but this man thought that life could be better if only he didn’t have to work. This is the story of that man and his dream. Bali. For some people the name says it all - warm seas, soft sands, cold beers, vibrant colors, exotic sounds, friendly people, large smiles, laughing children, a multitude of inexpensive small hotels and homestays. Bali. A land of wonder and magic set in the warm waters of the Bali Sea and the Indian Ocean. Hand planted rice, homemade religious offerings, vibrant cloths used in ceremonial clothes. 
Living in New Zealand - Chapter 8 - More Questions ~ by Rick Adams - Recently an alert reader sent me a note pointing out that in my previous articles here I had not answered many important questions about the more important things about living in New Zealand. Knowing that he was probably speaking for several other alert readers I thought I’d answer his thoughtful and weighty queries here in an easy to follow “Q and A” format.  The author, for reasons you will soon divine, will remain anonymous so we (meaning I) can have some good-natured fun, but thanks Bob!

Offshore Investing
Why Invest In Chile? - A North American In Chile ~ by Bill Lanphar - Why invest in Chile? That is a question I have been asked many times because Chile is not even mentioned in most conversations about South America. Brazil you think of beautiful beaches and the beautiful people that live there. Peru you think of mysteries from the long lost past. Ecuador makes you think of beautiful weather and inexpensive prices on land and exports. Argentina cheap land, good fishing and a very corrupt government. Columbia, well, you don't even think about it. Venezuela another hero of the little people and probably a nightmare for everyone else.
Gold & Silver - Your Protection Against A Falling Dollar ~ by Michael Checkan - The dollar is falling! The dollar is falling! This is not breaking news. But what are you doing about it? Most Americans are doing nothing. Historically, one of the best ways investors have protected themselves against a faltering currency is to purchase gold and silver. In this article, I’ll show you why that’s still a good strategy, and the best ways of doing so, based on my nearly 40 years of experience in the precious metals market. But first, let me show you the true consequences of the falling dollar. They’re much larger than you might think. 
The Dollar Does The Samba - The Brazilian Real And U.S. Dollar ~ by Richard Abel - The commercial rate for the dollar vs. the Brazilian Real just hit the lowest level in almost 3 years. In other words, the Real has been steadily appreciating and the Dollar has been falling. What does this mean? To understand this question, we have to look back at history. The first time I traveled to Brazil in 1998, I found the country to be more expensive than I had expected. The exchange rate then was about R$1.20 for every dollar. The following year, there was a devaluation after the presidential election, and the Real quickly fell to 2.00 to the dollar and kept on falling. In 2002, there was another presidential election and it fell to 4.00 to the dollar.

‘No Fear’ Real Estate Investing - Real Estate In Costa Rica ~ by Rex Freeman - Any astute or experienced ex-pat will tell you that moving to a foreign land, especially with a foreign language, and ‘manana land’ culture can test the mettle of the best of us. Once the bud of the romance of ‘living in paradise’ wears off, culture shock and reality can be a cold slap in the face for the unwary and ill-prepared. On the other hand, for those who can adapt and manage in a ‘new rules’ environment, plenty of opportunity can be had. We’ve seen both. My wife and I have been living in Costa Rica since ’99. The first few weeks were rough on her, making the adjustment, not knowing the Spanish language, except for “Taco Bueno”, learning how to re-organize our lives in a new land and culture was tough. Her first challenge was to buy a tomato in the local mini-super.

Unique Travel
A Walk On The Wild Side - In Zaire ~ by Brandon Wilson - Cheryl and I are relieved to chuck all the nagging certainties of life in exchange for a year on the African road. Although experienced independent travelers, we're leery of what Africa might hold. It's notorious as a place where the rules change from country to country or checkpoint to checkpoint. So breaking one of our own travel “rules,” we reluctantly join an English overland truck safari for the first part of our journey. Several months into this odyssey, we reach Zaire (Congo), one of Africa’s most gritty and unforgettable regions, not long before it's ripped apart by violence.
Lebanon Beyond Beirut - Four Must-Do Day Trips ~ by David Lavoie - Beirut is wonderful, a cosmopolitan Mediterranean city famed for its friendly people, exclusive shops and fine restaurants. The Solidaire quarter of Beirut especially is worth the trip to Lebanon, but there is more, so much more to see in Lebanon, and some of it is outside the capitol and easily done as a day trip. Here’s a sampling. These world-famous caves are immense and absolutely spectacular. Located about 18 kilometers along the highway north of Beirut in the valley of Nhr el Kalb, Jetta Grotto is formed of two galleries, the lower gallery being opened only in 1958. One visits it by boat, since it is home to an underground lake, a trip of about 500 meters.
Lake Chapala, Mexico ~ Wanting To Stay ~ by Shawn Howard - Our destination was the town of Ajijic (pronounced “ah-he-heek”). Ajijic is a rather small town sitting right on the edge of the lake.  It has a large retired expatriate community from the United States and Canada. The main reason for the trip was to “explore” the region with hopes of finding the perfect winter retreat to run away to in future years.  I had read many, many articles on the internet, looked at ads for homes for sale and rent and even talked first hand with one individual who had been there.  But, I still felt a little apprehensive about just packing up and moving off to an unknown place for several months next winter, when the trees are brown, and the weather here is cold, dreary and damp.
South Africa ~ The World’s New Destination ~ by Tony O'Kelly - As other countries around the globe make it more and more difficult to migrate to, South Africa has eased its restrictions. The intention of the South African Government is to attract skilled workers to the country. South Africa is short of 500,000 graduates in various fields including IT, Engineering, Business and many other technical fields. One of the strategies is for South Africa to become the call centre capital of the world. This requires skilled people and investment.
Notes From Mazatlán, Mexico - Stone Island ~ by Jim Bentein - Stone Island is just a 10-minute boat ride from this popular Mexican resort but its never-ending beaches, laid-back palapa restaurants and sandy, shallow seabed – perfect for wading or gentle swims – is like a world removed from this city’s touristy Golden Zone area. Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island in Spanish), which is actually a peninsula, is just to the south of this city of 500,000 people, accessible via passenger-carrying boats called “launches”, which cross the bay from the ferry harbor all day (return trip about $1.20 Cdn). For those so inclined, there are also five-hour guided tours (about $40 for adults and $25 for children), that include a sightseeing cruise of the bay and lunch. (Stone Island is also accessible by road, but you don’t want to go there).
Think India - Think Holiday At Kerala ~ by Rajdeep Bhattacharjee - It was late last week while wrapping up my tour to Mumbai that I suddenly felt my inner call for Vagamon, branded as one of the world’s 50 must see destinations by the National Geographic Traveller Magazine. The prompt decision led me to change my return schedule to New Delhi and landed me in Cochin Airport the next day with my only intention being to spend a night at Vagamon. Upon arriving, I decided to head for Vagamon Heritage Resort, a resort on top of a hill. Situated at a distance of 100km from Cochin International Airport, the journey to the resort was a cool experience as I was passing through paddy fields, rubber plantations and green just about everywhere. The Vagamon Heritage Resort is 1100m above sea level, surrounded by tea gardens and amazingly beautiful valleys and it is a trekker’s paradise.
Naples -Falling For Italy’s Raffish Old Rogue ~ by Steenie Harvey - A balmy winter night. I’m drinking wine and scoffing seafood risotto outside a restaurant called Ettore on via Santa Lucia. Somebody is late hauling their laundry in - towels and teacloths flutter like ghostly banners from a washing line strung between two balconies across the street. This is a pure southern Italian cliché - right down to the honking Vespas and neighborhood minstrels. Carrying accordions and a double bass, another three are now preparing to give diners a serenade.
Voila! - Paris Again ~ by Mary Lou Sanelli - After learning that I had accumulated enough mileage credits to fly to virtually any destination imaginable, it took me only a few seconds to say aloud the word, Paris. Years ago, I’d visited the city like so many other hippy kids with a backpack and a hundred bucks that needed to last me. It wasn’t the right time in my life to experience a city refined as Paris, yet how it felt to walk its sidewalks and to weave through its ancient neighborhoods has been alive in me ever since, lodged in mind like a scent. 
UNESCO As My Guide - More Travels In The Czech Republic ~ by Matthew Gregory - The longer I’m in Europe, the pickier I’ve become as a traveler. In a sense, I’m still like a little child on the way to the candy store because I feel as though as I’ll be satisfied by ANYTHING I see, treasuring every moment of my life abroad. Then there’s another part of me that critiques the town while comparing and contrasting with other places I’ve seen. As you can imagine, my appreciation and amazement by new surroundings have declined over time, much as one would feel eating their favorite meal 5 times in a week. Because of this, I’m finding it harder and harder to rely on people’s recommendations.
Travels In Turkey - A Visual Feast ~ by James J. Hickman -  I always find it interesting how people form opinions on matters they have no experience with. Having traveled to some of the more off-beat places in the world (Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Saudi Arabia, etc.), I’m constantly subjected to ‘expert’ analysis from the world’s most opinionated armchair travelers. Conventional wisdom on Turkey, it seemed, was no different. I was on a mission for my company: to seek sound, safe international investment opportunities in an overlooked country.
