Living Overseas
Life In Abu Dhabi ~ In The UAE ~ by Bonnie Burns - It didn’t take long to figure out why expatriates don’t want to leave. Who would have imagined life could be so interesting in the exotic city of Abu Dhabi, located in the United Arab Emirates, known as the UAE. When the idea of living in the Middle East presented itself, my first thought was it was far too dangerous a place for an American woman. 
The Practicalities Of Moving To Bali ~ Thoughts On Living In Bali ~ by Bruce E. Pohlmann - This is a follow-up to my last two articles about living overseas, in particular living on the island of Bali. I suppose, being a frequent lurker and participant on a number of Bali internet forums, that I shouldn’t have been surprised at the number of people that wrote to me asking about moving to Bali, but I was. The following are the most common questions that potential expatriates have in regards to moving to Bali. All prices and fees are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.
AdventureView: Chris Baker ~ Motorcycles Through Cuba ~ by Mark McMahon - With a fire engine-red motorcycle and a burning desire for adventure, Chris Baker set his sights on Cuba. In three months he covered over 7,000 miles – a journey that would forever change his views of this tiny, politically charged island. He has written four very popular books on Cuba – two guidebooks, a coffee-table book, and an award-winning literary book, Mi Moto Fidel: Motorcycling through Castro’s Cuba. In this interview Chris talks with Mark about his adventures there, what inspired him to travel and write, getting into (and out of) trouble, and he shares some opinions on current U.S. policies.
Tropical Tango To Micronesia ~ In Paradise ~ by Brandon Wilson - We drift out of Kailua-Kona Pier on the Big Island of Hawai'i at 8:30pm, after several frantic days putting the final touches on the live-aboard yacht, Palau Aggressor II, part of the Aggressor Fleet. After a final test of all systems, the dim glow of village lights, drowsy palms and silhouette of Hualalai Volcano swiftly fades from sight, as we duck into a realm of midnight blues. Sky melds into sea. We're enveloped in a shroud sprinkled with the twinkling illumination of a thousand stars.

International Cell Phones - The good, The Bad and The Cheap - If you, like many, find freedom from phones to be one of the great rewards of traveling, you can stop reading right here. But whether it’s a sick relative, a nervous client or simply to check in with mom and dad, sometimes being out of touch is simply not an option. 
Perilous Passes In Winter ~ Adventures In China ~ by Satina Anziano - A couple years ago, during the winter break, I came across a monastery cradled in a small grassland area. There are plenty of monasteries much closer to where I live. Those are either small, or in an urban area. This monastery, 180 kilometers from my home, was large, yet away from any population center. I began to harbor dreams of meditation retreats on three-day weekends, eventually a week-long retreat. I was eager to meet the head Lama, to see if that would be possible. Meeting him, however, was not so easy. Oh, he's approachable enough, a real down-to-earth kind of fellow. But hard to reach. Though the location is not far, 'you can't get there from here'. 
Living In The Azores ~Life Off The Coast Of Portugal ~ by Giovanni Giusti - Deirdre and I both work via the Internet, so we decided to spend some years moving around the world and experiencing new places and cultures, a few months in each. Our first stop was São Miguel, the largest island of the Azores. Here’s my account of our 3 months there. Next stop – the smaller island of Faial, the international yachting meeting point. Our friend Matthias has recently changed jobs. He used to buy used Mercedes sedans in his native Germany for Azorean taxi drivers, drive them down to Lisbon and have them shipped over to São Miguel.

You Want An Offshore Bank Account - You're not alone; everyone wants an offshore account.  But at the very same time that the increasing loss of civil liberties around the world increases the logical necessity and desire for attaining financial privacy, that same loss of civil liberties has made many people nervous about putting their name on an offshore account, especially since some of the major credit card companies divulged the names of their offshore credit card holders.

Australia’s East Coast Islands ~ Island Hopping ~ by Dawnelle Salant - One place worth stopping in for at least a few days is the town of 1770. The only town to have a name consisting solely of numbers, 1770 was named after the year Captain James Cook stopped there. Our main reason for visiting here is to participate in one of the day trips going to Lady Musgrave Island. From 1770, the boat takes about two hours to get out to the Great Barrier Reef. Once there, it ties up to a pontoon that holds snorkeling equipment, an underwater viewing tunnel and a glass bottom boat. You can go for a walk on the island itself, but scuba divers have to sacrifice this opportunity in order to descend into the depths of the coral rich blue-green waters of the lagoon.
Moldova ~ A Small Wonder And Information On Upcoming Tour To Romania ~ by Kevin Stillmock - When I came to for a (never-to-be) business meeting in Chisinau (pronounced kishy-now) I wasn't sure quite what to expect. The travel agent who sold me the ticket, strangely advised me several times to abandon my plans and go somewhere else. Most of my friends and aacquaintances were confused just as to where it was that I was going to in the first place. On several occasions I was asked if I was worried about getting malaria while in Africa, I was also chastised for making up the name of a fake country to protect my anonymity and questioned if the idea to come to Moldova came to me after hearing about it in a Marx Brother movie. 
Chapter 9 ~ Getting Ready For The Big Move ~ by Rick Adams - For those Americans, particularly those Americans living in the “blue” states that realize that there is life beyond the city limits of your town and in fact outside of the United States, you may be considering your options. Could life be better elsewhere? Is it possible to work and live in another country? Are there actually other countries that don’t think Americans are a few bricks shy of a load…rowing with one oar…or that their elevator doesn’t go to the top floor? Is it possible to leave your native country and still be happy, nay, even happier? We say “yes!” (We also rarely say “nay”.)  We’d like to suggest considering New Zealand as your new home. My wife and I left the comfort of our big American home, our big American jobs and our big American cars for a new life and we think you can probably do it too.
Lunigiana ~ Tuscany’s Hidden Gem ~ by Bill Breckon - The scenery, with steep-sided valleys wooded with chestnut and European oak and overlooked by mountain crags and ruined fortresses, is unexpected and breath-taking, yet the unspoilt villages and towns of Lunigiana are close to the sea and the resorts of the Golf of the Poets (where Byron and Shelley stayed) and less than an hour from the marvellous walled city of Lucca and from Pisa airport. And the nearby autostrade take you to Florence in less than two hours.
Ex-Pats Living And Thriving Down Under ~ In Australia ~ by Dee Farrell - Australia and New Zealand are very appealing to Americans because of the similarities in lifestyle, language and currency - and for a lot more reasons, politics aside. There’s a plethora of MIAs (migration agents) and unique services like BMI (Business Migration Investments & Tours) that are headed by ex-pat Americans eager to help you make the “sea change.” And there are organisations like AAA (Australian-American Association) and Necomers Network to tell you where to go to network with fellow ex-pats.
Male Warrior Princess ~ On Chinese TV ~ by Daniel Wallace - If you've seen one of these Chinese period pieces, you've seen most of them: there is a hero with long straight hair, a comedy fat courtier, a few pretty princesses, various evil bearded men and scheming aunties. I and four other Westerners (also picked up in the bar) played the henchmen of "Mar-Jali" a curiously named 19th century English explorer. When I told my Chinese girlfriend about my new job invading China, she assured me that the director would make sure that me and my fellow Westerners would be defeated. She added patriotically, "I hope you die".
Living The International Life As A ‘PT’ ~ More About Living In Costa Rica ~ by Rex Freeman - It wasn’t too long ago that, for me, life was a hum drum ‘status quo’ existence which was far underperforming my own personal expectations of what I had envisioned for myself in my youth. How many of us feel ‘trapped’, or at best ‘limited’ by life and how we have positioned ourselves in it? Of course as much as we try to look elsewhere for causes, we only have ourselves to blame. 
How To Find An Apartment In Chile ~Living In Chile ~ by Jon Steele - Most people are intimidated by the thought of finding a place to live already and even more intimidated by the thought of doing it in another country, but if you follow the instructions I lay out in this article you will learn the techniques for finding a great place to live. Now while I will be concentrating on Chile in this article, the techniques I describe here can be applied to just about any location. The principles are basically the same for any locale. 
Brazil 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.

Retiring to Paradise ~More On Margarita Island ~ by Mike Inglis - After spending 7 days on Margarita Island, Venezuela, I can say, this is where I will semi-retire, sooner rather than later. I enjoyed virtually everything about this delightful island some call the Pearl of the Caribbean.   It is famous for oysters, seafood, and fresh fish, etc., etc. Venezuela has allowed this island to be 100% duty free. On a fixed income(social security for example) anyone can afford to live here. And when I say live, I mean live and enjoy life and not just squeak by as many of us will have to do once we retire. You only need to have an income of $1200 to actually be considered for residency.
Japanese And Western Dojo(s) ~ Observations Made By A Westerner Who Lived In Japan With A Master ~ by Dr. Jason Armstrong - What is it like to test for a belt in Japan as a Westerner? Or to live with a Master? This article will try to provide brief insights by reflecting on my time in Japan between 1995 and 2002. I will also reflect on short-term visits to Japan made by my Californian students to test for Dan ranks. I was fortunate enough to have spent part of my time in and around Japan as an “uchi-deshi” – a live in student of a master. On arriving in Japan my comparisons of East vs. West martial arts came from a somewhat experienced viewpoint since I had already been training in Japanese martial arts for more than 10 years, competed at an international level, and had my own dojo operating in California.

Offshore Investing
Some Thoughts On Debt Relief And Mining Investment ~ Economics Of Development ~ by Jurgen Klemann - Because I lived in Africa and now live in Latin America I no longer ought to be surprised at certain irrational decisions made by movers and shakers in the less developed world. It’s also beyond my limited ability to comprehend every now and then what the local hoi polloi in the less developed world goes on a rampage for. Since getting interested in investing in junior mining companies I’ve stumbled across two more examples of rather bizarre actions and attitudes in the less developed world. 
Panama ~Real Estate And Prices ~ by James Hickman - What a fantastic time to buy in Panama City. Two weeks before I had been bit by the bug again…. so I booked my flight, contacted some developers, and headed down for a long weekend. I kept quiet this time; I hate getting the obvious question - “Why are you going there?” I made a tentative itinerary to meet with two developers of new condo projects and another developer who specializes in the renovation of colonial quarter residences…. fairly ambitious for a short trip, but worth the rush.
Investing In Bulgaria ~ An Introduction ~ by Andrea Marie Portugal - Interest in Bulgaria has been growing rapidly as investors look for the next ‘big thing’. The country is on course to enter the EU in 2007 and as a result money to develop its banks, telecommunications and transport is being splashed around. New Embassies, offices, conference centres, hotels and motorways are being built and international firms are moving to the capital Sofia. In short Bulgaria offers an almost unrivalled quality of life and investment opportunity.
Invest Offshore Without Leaving Home ~ The Overlooked Advantages Of American Depository Receipts ~ by Eric Roseman - Some of the best investments for the remainder of this decade lie overseas. Marked by faster-growing economies, stronger currencies, superior earnings and generally more fiscal conservatism, foreign markets have outpaced Wall Street since 2000. In the 1990s, the S&P 500 Index averaged a 15.6% annualized return. That was better than any other ten-year period for U.S. common stocks since the high-flying 1920s. But so far in the 2000s, the S&P 500 Index has lost a cumulative 7% as the technology bubble came to a crashing end in 2000 while the broader market imploded, particularly in 2002.

International Real Estate
Invest In Beauty ~ Thoughts On Argentina ~ by Douglas Harris - When you look for real estate in the USA, Real Estate Agencies are usually your first stop; to find out what is available, and to get good advice on neighborhoods, warnings about poor investments. He may steer you toward his listings so that he gets both the selling and listing commissions but he represents you. Your agent does all the paper work on offers and counter offers. He creates the paperwork, and fills out the forms that go to the escrow office. If he already represents the seller he is supposed to inform you of that fact so you can form your own opinion of his presentation of a property. Often you have a Real Estate Agent “check a FSBO(For Sale By Owner) or prepare the paperwork on a private deal so that the paperwork is done correctly. After an offer is accepted the deal goes to an Escrow company.

Unique Travel
Paddling The Pathways Of Patagonia ~ Deep In The Heart Of Patagonia ~ by Kyle Hammons - Patagonia. For years that word has conjured fantasies in my mind, visions of sheer granite walls and isolated wilderness. Flying south over the Andes I could hardly contain my excitement as I paced the aisles of the plane attempting to gain a better view of the snow-capped peaks that formed the border between Argentina and Chile. Like so many explorers, I had anticipated this day for as long as I could read the words on my father’s jacket and now I had reached a land that had once seemed so remote, so forbidding and so impossible.
Valença, Brazil ~ Coffee Cathedrals And Slave Spirits ~ by Elienne M. W. Lawson - Sulking through Rio de Janeiro under an umbrella, it is fair to say that my beach dreams are most decidedly rained out. Clouds edge bikinis back into suitcases and sweaters come out in their place. I am nursing a bruised and broken vision of being the Girl from Ipanema, when a Brazilian friend drops me an invitation to a celebration in the mountains north of Rio. There is the hint of a festival that will last for days, and I can see Brazilian life away from the jumble of Rio de Janeiro and the glitter of Buzios. Excited by the promise of authentic Braziliana, I hop in the car, grab mangos and coconut water from a street vendor for sustenance and leave the soggy coast behind. I do not expect the trip inland to be a tour of Brazilian spiritual life, but serendipity plays a larger part of life in Brazil, where flexibility mixed with chaos reigns supreme.
The Mediterranean Islands Of Malta And Gozo ~ Exploring History ~ by Jörg M. Unger - The Republic of Malta lies only forty nautical miles south of Sicily at the 36th degree of latitude – almost the same like Monterey, California, or Nashville, Tennessee. Up to the Ice Age, the islands were part of a land bridge between Italy and North Africa that was flooded when the ice began to melt. Since then the waters of the Mediterranean sea have shaped Malta’s coastline and created a fascinating scenery. Because of the island’s strategic position north of Africa’s shoreline, it attracted numerous kings and emperors with their warriors and legions in the antiquity, as well as the Knights of St. John in medieval times. 
The Sinai ~ Explorations ~ by David Lavoie - Egypt is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, but most visitors see very little of what this fabulous country has to offer. Everyone wants to join the hoards visiting the Pyramids, The Valley Of the Kings and Abu Simbel. Everyone dreams of a Nile Cruise, all things that you should do at least once, but what of the rest of the country? Unhappily Egypt has one of the lowest rates of return visit in the world, perhaps because it has not sufficiently promoted the rest of its many attractions. 
Spirituality And Old City Charm Is Synonymous With Varanasi ~ More Travels To India ~ by Manju Dubey - What’s so mystical about Benares? It’s the people and their way of life. At dawn the sweet chime of bells ringing in the temples and the chant of the mantras awaken you. Hundreds of temples can be found in Benares. A city so steeped in traditions, religious ceremonies and yet at the same time it has been the home of great scholars especially literary and also related to the sciences and astrology. My mother believed in all that was Benarsi or that belonged to Benares not because it was the city of her birth but due to the deep seated belief in its traditions and way of life.
Not Your Normal Pagan Fertility Ritual ~ Easter Monday In Mikulov, The Czech Republic ~ by Matthew Gregory - Every culture has its own holidays and ways of celebrating them. It's not uncommon for countries of the "Western" world and beyond to know at least something about American or other country's holidays. And many holidays overlap, such as Christmas, with different cultures and countries having various ways of celebrating them. As far as the Czech Republic goes, no other holiday puts a wry smile on the resident and a perplexed smile on the foreigner more than Easter (Velikonoce in Czech which literally translates "Big Nights").
Take A French Lover ~ And Other Tips For Learning The Language ~ by Jane Watt - When I arrived in France 10 years ago, the energetic elderly Frenchwoman who lives down the road made obscure comments about pillows being a good place to learn French. By the time I eventually understood her meaning (that taking a French lover was the best way to learn the language), I was almost ready to agree. Most of my friends believe I should be fluent by now. But, while my French is good, I can’t say that it flows readily and easily.
Peru ~ Notes From A Canadian Traveler ~ by Judy Goddard - I remember sitting up in the attic of our farmhouse as a child, looking through those bright yellow “ National Geographic” magazines, that someone had given us. For hours, I dreamt of those far away and strange places. Never, believing it could ever come true. So now that our children are on their own, I decided to pursue the dreams of childhood, of far away countries. Not just as a tourist, but as a person who could perhaps help improve someone’s else life, or just bring some joy for a few weeks to someone who needed it.
Travel To Nombre de Dios ~ A Very Famous Unknown Place ~ by Matthew Atlee - Nombre de Dios is a name that probably doesn’t ring any bells in your head; it didn’t in mine before I arrived in Panama. If you’ve read something about the history of Latin America you may have seen the name: all of the gold and sliver that the Spanish mined in Peru during the 16th century passed across Panama by mule train and then was packed onto ships in Nombre de Dios and sent to Spain. Before the gold and silver was shipped to Spain, there was a two to three week fair in Nombre de Dios; the fairs were famous in the Caribbean, especially among pirates, because anyone was given free passage in Nombre de Dios for as long as the fairs lasted.
