Living Overseas
Living In Boquete, Panama ~ A Day In Boquete ~ by Kent McNaughton - My day begins at 7am. Time to feed the cat. OK, it really began about 6am when the sky lightened enough to call it day and the cat knows it’s time to begin the morning badgering, which will continue until she has been fed at 7am. Tika’s the cat’s name. Hates everyone but me, but now and then I’ll get a snarl, a bite, or a paw swipe, too. 
My Frustrating Love ~ What Is It Like To Live In China? ~ Photos And Story by Daniel Wallace - This article is a goodbye to the country I've lived in for ten months - travelling, living with a local family, teaching English. This is an account of the good and bad things I've encountered, and as a result is inevitably a series of generalisations - there are lots of exceptions to the tendencies I'm describing. 
Travels In The Caribbean ~ Dominica And Antigua ~ by Deb Andrews - There is an undeniable magic about Dominica, it hovers in the universal sound of falling water, in the misty green mountains and vowel-heavy Creole spoken on every village street. Take care, this region of magic is inhabited by “jumbies”, entities who are not known for their kindness to people.
How To Find A Sadhu Of Your Very Own ~ Or The Challenges Of Buying A Tibetan Horse ~ by Brandon Wilson - Chuzal Dzong was three gritty, unpaved streets, boasting a couple of general stores all touting the same Chinese goods, a pool hall, a smaller café frying more spicy Szechwan, and an audio cassette cum sweet shop. It wasn't much. But I figured it was our only chance to find something with four legs to carry our packs and someone with two to guide us to Gyantse. 
The Double Escape - Escaping from Britain to Italy ~ By Jonathan Anderson - When I came to Italy in 1983, I was escaping from the gloomy Britain of Margaret Thatcher. I could see no brightness in any future for me there, so together with my brother, I left England. We were searching for complete change, adventure and the chance to make a new start in life with a different flavor. Certainly, we found all these things and much more by moving to Italy. Over twenty years later we are both still very happy to be living here, and thriving with our respective families.
Taking The Slow Route Home ~ Living On A Spanish Farm ~ by Paul Read - Miguel has sold his car and has decided to buy something much better. This new vehicle gives off no pollution, no emissions whatsoever. In fact it uses a very green sort of fuel that can be recycled for other uses. It transports him, his tools, his packed lunch and his dog to work but he rarely has to use a road. And when the sun sets over the green Vega that snakes up to his village from the Granada coast, his trusty mode of transport gets him safely back home down narrow alleyways that even a Smart Car would think twice before entering.
Sumbawa ~ Another Kind Of Paradise ~ by Bruce E. Pohlmann - It is a dilemma that every traveler faces – especially every traveler who wants to tell his friends about the Hidden Paradise he’s discovered: the very fact of giving a name - or a face - to the place you love changes it till it becomes a place you hardly like. Talk about how unspoiled somewhere is, and you’re almost inviting its despoliation. When someone gives you the address of the unknown Shangri-La he’s found, you’re forced to wonder whether he’s serving its interests or his own. 
Surfing, Koalas And Night Canoeing ~ The Final Leg Of Australia’s East Coast ~ by Dawnelle Salant - Two hours south from the commercialized tourist resort of Surfer’s Paradise lies Byron Bay. Part of New South Wales, Byron Bay is the perfect beach town. Not too big and not too small, the surfing mecca is flawlessly situated on an ideal surfing break. Tourists flock here not only for the surfing, but also for the town’s many spas, yoga centers, nightlife and one particularly famous dive site

Places To Live In The World: Emerging Alternatives ~ From Canada To Europe, Africa To Asia, It’s Time For A Fresh Look ~ by Phillip Townsend - The advent of fast Internet communication and inexpensive air travel makes it easier to turn any far-flung paradise into a permanent home. Which places in the world have the most to offer? The perfect place to live or retire, of course depends on your idea of perfection.
The Transformation Of The UAE ~ What’s A Poor Camel To Do? ~ by Bonnie Burns - Part of the charm of living in old world Arabia is the hours spent haggling in the crooked, narrow alleys of the old souks where you’ll be offered a stout Turkish coffee and interesting conversation that leaves both people smiling. Then off you go to the fish market, where the Gulf shrimp are so fresh and delicious, you’ll kiss your fingertips. Next stop is the fruit and veg souks where produce is squeezed then bagged at a mere fraction of grocery store prices. But the recent announcement of the demolition of Abu Dhabi’s souks is bringing this way of life to an abrupt end. 
Home Sweet Patagonia ~Patagonia In The WInter ~ by Douglas Harris - If you move to San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina towards the end of May; you are either a skier, (or crazy). The word Patagonia creates images in the mind of fierce winds and impressive blizzards of snow. Weather beaten little towns huddled in the lee of a mountain range, cut off by enormous drifts and impressive distances. “Patagonia equals winter”. These harsh images fade in the comfort of this beautiful city on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi (Island of Tigers in Mapuche).
Some Thoughts From A Middle Income Country ~ Living In Mexico ~ by Jurgen Klemann - For a little more than a year already, there’s something like a construction boom going on in Colima. Even though Colima is most unlikely to ever turn into a boom town (which I’m very grateful for), loads of new shops have recently opened up or are still being built. In the whole of Colima there’s exactly one McDonald’s, which is more than I need. Now Burger King blesses Colima with its fine cuisine as well. Nobody can claim any more that there’s no competition at that end of the market.
Making A Move To Fortaleza, Brazil ~ Some Advice ~ by John Mueller - Living somewhere is much different than visiting. You have to learn how to survive day to day living; shopping, cooking, dealing with the electric and phone companies, the bank, restaurants and all the other things that come with life. Realizing this, I made a decision to try it temporarily before actually taking the final steps. I've now been here two months. While I won’t go into the actual differences, I have learned many things which I will pass on.
Different Country Different Law ~ Moving To The Dutch Caribbean ~ by Tinah Tran - Before moving to a new location, to retire or to live, expatriates would do themselves a good service if they check out the law of the land.
My husband and I have moved to a Dutch Caribbean island to retire since last year. Before retirement, we visited the island on vacation, and then to prepare for the move.  With all of the research and planning, we still have a lot to learn about the islands' government and legal system.
Adventures In Tajikistan ~ Part 3: Getting My Feet Under Me ~ by  Brad Farquhar - The thing you notice as you drive around Dushanbe is how well people are generally dressed. Far more suits and ties here than you will ever see back home, although I suppose my small city on the Canadian prairies is not a good basis for comparison. The traffic is what I would call chaotic, but not verging on anarchy as you would find in other parts of the world.
What Don’t We Have On Margarita Island? ~ More On Living In The Caribbean ~ by Scott Boswell - “We got sunlight on the sand, we got moonlight on the sea, we got mangoes and bananas you can pick right off the tree” and we got dames...everywhere you look there are beautiful women! (to mangle a phrase from the musical “South Pacific”) We also have some of the finest shopping in the Caribbean. The largest mall in Latin America and ultra-modern supermarkets. 
Taking Our Own Advice ~ Why We’ve Put Down Roots In San Miguel de Allende ~ by Dan Prescher & Suzan Haskins - It was time to buy, we’d decided. After 16 months in Mexico living in hotels, rentals, and our 1996 Toyota Tacoma, we figured we’d follow our own advice and put a stake down in the Mexico real estate market. So in the spring of 2004, we started house hunting. We had several requirements to consider as we shopped. First, we needed a place from which to work, which meant buying in an area with good infrastructure. Second, we wanted to live in a place that we enjoyed—not too big, lots of local flavor, plenty of good restaurants and cultural venues, and at least a few like-minded expats to hang around with.
Young And Wild And Beautiful Once ~ Daydreaming ~ by Allan Weisbecker - Odd the way a moment returns, a life-occurrence apparently lost through time’s neglect, the mental resurrection the end result of a sequence of recollected images, a one-to-the-next process ruled by the arcane illogic of the subconscious, but then, unexpectedly, climaxing with perfect sense, like the finale of a well-wrought tale – the summoned moment clear, flawless, inevitable.
Politics Aside ~ More On Living In The Dominican Republic ~ by Elizabeth Roebling - “The dollar goes higher and higher and the peso goes lower and lower. That is why we don’t speak English and we don’t buy Chevrolet.” So sings Juan Luis Guerra, the premier musician of the Dominican Republic. He attended music school in Boston and so, presumably, could sing in English if he wished. I, for one, wish he would for it would do us good to hear what others are saying about us.

It's a favorite of those seeking a calmer lifestyle in close proximity to the wonders of nature.  Like a un-planed 2x4 full of splinters, Belize is sturdy, rugged and full of sandfleas, but it also has it's share of beautiful islands, adventuresome spirits and rum soaked nights.

Offshore Investing
Thoughts On Offshore Investing ~ Part 2 ~ by James Hickman - It certainly takes a special person to be interested in international ventures.  Many, Americans in particular, have been institutionalized since birth through uninformed societal influence and bombastic, self-aggrandizing arrogance to believe that everything outside the borders of the United States is tragically uncivilized, as if the rest of the world exists in the background of a Feed the Children commercial. Armed with inept geographical ignorance, they pass woeful judgment on what 98% of the rest of the world calls ‘home.’ 
Running A Business In Spain ~ A Little Advice ~ by Katja Dekker - It has been almost three years since we moved to Spain and finding our way around has been fun and sometimes a struggle. When you move abroad you realize that you are giving up your career, your house, the lease car and all. But in return, there is a romantic future lying ahead of you; a future without stress, traffic jams, thousands of emails a day, dark clouds, rain. An exiting future with new possibilities, new people and new habits.

International Real Estate
The Romanian Profit-Machine ~ Investing In Romania ~ by Kevin Stillmock - Sooner or later just about all of us come to the painful realization that money does not grow on trees, no matter what kind we plant or where we plant them. I’ve traveled to a lot of countries and I’ve always made a point to check out the local trees and see if any of them, by some odd twist of fate, have started to turn green with dollar bills. I’ve never completely given up hope that one might exist by some miracle, somewhere. It’s been said that “sometime the answer is right under your nose.” For those of us searching for cash-bearing trees, I have discovered that the answer is indeed right under our noses. We’ve simply been looking in the wrong direction, we have been looking up instead of down.

Retire Overseas!
You look out your window, past your gardener, who is busily pruning the lemon, cherry, and fig trees...amidst the splendor of gardenias, hibiscus, and hollyhocks.
The sky is clear blue. The sea is a deeper blue, sparkling with sunlight.
A gentle breeze comes drifting in from the ocean, clean and refreshing, as your maid brings you breakfast in bed.
For a moment, you think you have died and gone to heaven.
But this paradise is real. And affordable. In fact, it costs only half as much to live this dream lifestyle...as it would to stay in your own home!

Unique Travel
Adventures In The Caribbean ~ Tobago, Trinidad and Grenada ~ by John Spampinato - Port of Spain, Trinidad wasn’t a preferred midnight arrival point to begin with, made less inviting given the stifling heat even at that hour and the sham we were offered that was supposedly a car, in actuality a dysfunctional little affront to the senses. It struggled up hills, ignored a heavy foot on the brake peddle, and often refused to start - shortcomings that didn’t give us pause until after we’d spent the night in the thing having followed what started out a legitimate highway far out in to the countryside until it had diminished to only the suggestion of one. Still, the night air was magic and its blackness total once I doused the headlights out on some desolate unpaved turnoff having given up trying to figure out where we were.
Travels With Yanni ~ In Malaysia ~ Written And Photographed by David Lavoie - I’ve been “on the road” with my dive buddy, Yanni Arshad. Yanni is famous in Malaysian diving circles where she is well-known by her nickname, “The Borneo Turtle.” A professional tour organizer, dive master and dive guide, who works for an outfit called Planet Scuba in the Bangsar section of Kuala Lumpur, Yanni is a great person to know. Her nickname comes from the fact that she was born in Sabah on the island of Borneo, she loves sea turtles and she is completely at home in the water. Yanni is unique.
Paraty, Brazil ~ Paradise On The Far Side Of The World ~ by Elienne M. W. Lawson - t has been five hundred years since French, Dutch, English, Portuguese and Spanish pirates began to traverse the Brazilian coast, looking for Indians hot to trade and the odd white man’s stash to loot. Not much has changed in the intervening years in that respect.  North Americans and Europeans, gringos if you will, still hit the beaches of Brazil, looking to trade coins for trinkets and experience their own economic power by finding prices that are a “steal”. But after so many years of travelers searching for an undiscovered treasure, one may find themselves grumbling as they share the “paradise on the far side of the world,” as Brazil was once known, not with pirates but with spring breakers from Chicago and London.
Going, Going – Ghan ~ Across Australia By Train ~ Story by Carol L. Bowman Photos by Ernie L. Sowers - The full moon beamed down on the baked Red Centre clay, emitting a rebounding glow from the earth. Rounder, fuller than the moon my eyes are accustomed to viewing, the illusion of a different Southern Hemisphere’ tugged at my imagination. Just then – a movement outside the window distracted my attention. A huge, red, short-haired kangaroo hopped alongside the sleek silver Ghan Train car, his speed enhanced by the coolness of the Great Victorian Desert night. We were both traversing the vast Australian Outback, by different locomotion and with different view points, to be sure. Earlier, only faint outlines of the ‘roos, hiding from the unmerciful sun among the scrub bushes and scant gum trees, were visible.
A Trip To The Konark Sun Temple, Orissa ~ Travels In India ~ by Rajdeep Bhattacharjee - After a brief stay at New Delhi, I decided to travel to Konark Sun Temple which is located in the state of Orissa near the sacred city of Puri.The World Heritage Konark Sun Temple is dedicated to the Sun God or Surya as it is pronounced in India. It was a warm welcome at the Bhuvaneshwar Airport with temperature at 38-degree Celsius. Soon after getting out of the airport, I moved to May Fair Lagoon, a better hotel in the capital of Orissa and stayed inside my room to refresh myself.
The Life Of The Lifers ~ One Day In Chiang Mai ~ by Antonio Graceffo - I woke up in my two-dollar-a-night hotel room and peeled the stinking sheets off of my body. Even in the hundred-degree heat and sauna-like humidity I couldn’t sleep unless I was under covers. It had been that way since childhood. A psychologist once said this represented my need for security. The way I see it, if I had needed security I would have stayed in the five dollar a night place. Shows you what psychologists know. I wrapped a towel around myself, and went into the hallway for a cold shower.
Turkish Time ~ A Tale From Turkey ~ by Simon And Kate - Beckoning mysteriously, almost mystically, neighboring Turkey remained an enigma to us. We had been in all countries bordering Bulgaria - that’s where we live, but Turkey? Not! You see, it is big, unknown, the language is difficult and after all it is Asia and all the ideas associated with this. Conclusion: we just had to go there!
San Andres Island ~ In The Western Caribbean ~ by Matthew Atlee - San Andres and Old Providence Islands were located in a deep part of my imagination even before I ever arrived. The islands are located in the western Caribbean about 300 miles from Jamaica which lies to the northeast of the islands, and Panama, which lies 300 miles to the southwest. The nearest country to San Andres and Old Providence is Nicaragua whose Caribbean coast lies 150 miles to the west. The islands are today part of Colombia which lies 400 miles to the south. The area of the islands is 44 square km.
