Living Overseas
Baking Bread On The Island Of Antigua ~ A Canadian Story ~ by Susan Noyce - What happens when you mix French bread, a Home Depot executive and a Canadian architect together on a Caribbean island? In Antigua, this has turned out to be a winning combination for Douglas McVicars and partner Dianne White, who've just opened their fifth link in a chain of bread and pastry shops.
Back From Being Back In Brazil ~ More From Brazil ~ by Robin Sparks - My plans for being the blazing road blogger in Brazil went the way of the four-wheel in which I surfed the dunes of Ceara. They sunk. I did however, write like a maniac. Even while bouncing up and over shifting moonscapes through lost-in-time-towns, I was seen making chicken scratches in notepad after notepad. 
A Family Affair In Chile ~ In the Beginning ~ by Bonnie and Gary Paulsson - We are sitting in the living room of our new, custom designed and built home in the Lakes District of Chile, each of us sipping a glass of one of Chile's finer Cabernets. Gazing out at the gathering moonlight as night settles upon our small slice of Paradise, we look at each other and smile. The last light from the sun's rays, which graced the tops of the Andes just a few short minutes ago has moved farther east on its path around the earth. 
Journeys Around Afghanistan ~ Undiscovered Beauty ~ by Brandy Bauer - Sometimes people ask me about what it’s like to live in Afghanistan, expecting a revelation of sorts as to how some people are able to forge a life here. And while there’s no surefire guarantee how you will react to the place, what I have learned is this: in Afghanistan, what looks outwardly simple often belies a complexity that only surfaces upon careful consideration. Take the Hindu Kush, for example.
Dead Men Don't Leave Tips ~ Adventures X Africa ~ by Brandon Wilson - Reaching Ngorongoro Crater, we slowly inched our way up to the ridge of its outer shell, then stopped the truck and got out for a walk. Gazing two thousand feet below to Lake Magadi, we were amazed to spot a pink, fluttering swath shimmering like miles of satin wrapped across that sea of turquoise – thousands of flamingos. It’s also home to one hundred other bird species that are found nowhere else in the Serengeti.
Worth My Weight In Gold ~ The Final Leg Of Western Australia ~ by Dawnelle Salant - After making our way down the enchanting but secluded coast of Western Australia from Exmouth to Kalbarri, I have to admit I was thrilled to arrive at our next destination, Geraldton, and see a traffic light! With a population of over 23,000, this was the biggest city we’d seen in Western Australia so far. As much as I love the isolation and immersion into nature that the rest of the coast provides, I did feel a certain excitement at seeing neon lights and a huge grocery store. 
In Search Of The Scottish Colony ~ History And Adventure In Panama ~ by Matthew Atlee - The Scottish colony was something I read about long after I had been in Panama and had lived in the countryside and found a job in the city and had learned a little about city life. It was funny for me to learn about the Scottish colony. I didn’t really know what part of Panama the colony had been founded in; it turned out the colony was located in a place that was almost impossible to reach by boat, air or land. 
Residency In Australia ~ From Residents To Citizens ~ by Sarah Jacquet - Our two year anniversary of living in Australia has been officialised by an application to become Australian citizens. This is an opportunity open to permanent residents after living in Australia for two years. What the change of status means is that as members of the Australian community, we have the same rights as Australians; we can vote, have a passport, receive social security payments, work in the public service or serve in the armed forces if we want to do so
AdventureView: Marga Fabbri ~ Fill The Pool And Jump In! ~ by Mark McMahon - Every time I have been to Buenos Aires I have visited the Recoleta Arts and Crafts Fair at Plaza Francia near the Famous (and FOR the famous) Recoleta Cemetery. The Fair is open every weekend and features a huge variety of arts and crafts, plus some wonderfully eclectic entertainment. I met Marga Fabbri there on my very first visit. We have been friends ever since, enjoying discussions on the nature of life, work, and art, while hanging out on the lawn across from her paintings. This visit she proudly announced that she had finally quit her day job!
Some Thoughts From A Cautious Contrarian ~ Early And Alone, Not Late And Surrounded ~ by Jurgen Klemann - After wrapping up my classes in summer and before starting my classes in the winter semester, I could enjoy a break for a couple of weeks. Because it’s increasingly difficult – almost impossible – to get me out of Colima, I spent these two weeks primarily at my favourite restaurants in Colima and at home. Because I’m utterly convinced that “la caja idiota” (Spanish slang for the box) has been invented to keep the hoi polloi occupied,  I don’t have that sort of thing at home.
Job Seeking Blues ~ Finding Work In Taiwan ~ by Daniel Wallace - I was in the park with a friend one night, and he explained all his blues. "So, I was teaching in Japan, thinking about flying home, then I get this email from a school in Taiwan. They say they'll pay me 60,000 a month, a free scooter, a free apartment, a free hotel when I arrive and I don't have to sign a contract until I've seen the school. So, I come to Taiwan, and at the airport, the manager is standing there and she wants me to sign the contract before she can drive me to the hotel.
American In Greece ~ Working In Greece ~ by Niki McElroy - As an American, can I live and work in Greece? Well, in brief yes if you are of Greek descent, and yes to the first and no to the second if you are not. This little treatise is not directed at those who have Greek heritage but rather those wishing to live in Greece (specifically Crete) without having to work here. Because America is outside the European Union, Americans can not freely take up a job here. 
Surviving The Culture Clash ~ Some Unwritten Rules When Living In China ~ Charlotte Turner - If you are considering going to live and work in China, then I am sure that you have already begun your research and read as much literature as possible regarding Chinese customs, culture and lifestyle.  I have lived in China now for over a year, (I taught in Beijing during the academic year of 2002-2003 and I am currently teaching in Shantou on a six month contract), and I wish to share some of the many unwritten cultural differences that I have experienced during this time.
Ireland’s Cosy Southeast ~Ireland's Warmest And Driest Spot ~ by Deirdre Nuttall - When people see Ireland’s rugged, spectacular west coast, they are often so overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it all that they sell their homes and move, sure that their life is going to be filled with rainbows and ocean waves and red-haired beauties and great Guinness outside thatched pubs.
‘Da Fences’ Make Good Neighbors ~ Travel Around The World ~ by Candy Green - I did it. I made it around the world. And I tangoed in 18 cities in the process: Honolulu, Hollywood, Santa Fe, San Francisco, Merida, Lexington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, London, Cambridge, Paris, Lyon, Barcelona, Florence, Rome, Istanbul, and Seoul! In many of those cities I danced in several places. I tried to tango in two other cities - Edinburgh and Beijing - but was unsuccessful. Not without stories to tell, however..
The Mysteries Of The Term 'Mañana' In The Dominican Republic ~ A Rough Guide To Getting Things Done In The Dominican Republic ~ by Ginnie Bedggood - The sub-header is not medical advice. Of course you will need your sunscreen in the harsh sun of the Dominican Republic. But it is a cautionary tale for new and would be residents as to exactly how long it takes to achieve a fairly simple task. New residents who come from cultures where provision of goods and services is but a phone call away are easily identifiable here in the Dominican Republic during their first few months. They can appear frustrated, short tempered and wear an incredulous look. Yes, getting even simple things achieved can take a lot longer than you are used to.
Nova Scotia, Canada ~ The Unlikely PT Getaway ~ by Phillip Townsend - As an old friend of W.G. Hill, the most prolific author on the PT concept, which extols the merits of personal liberty, privacy and international living, I thought I’d address some of the advantages Nova Scotia has as haven for PT’s (Perpetual Travelers). 
Being a PT means different things to different people, but Nova Scotia has a lot to offer PTs across the board: privacy, cheap real estate, a low cost of living, unspoiled natural beauty, friendly people and lifestyle opportunities to suit virtually every taste. 
Adventurous Shopping In Chile ~ More On Living In Chile ~ by Jon Steele - If you’re on my mailing list, then you’ve already received this article and this is rehash, but if not then sit back and get some inside knowledge about shopping……Chilean style. If you're one of those types of people who likes to walk on the wild side and off the beaten path when shopping then the "Persa" (pronounced, pare-sah) in Santiago could just be the adventure you have been looking for. 
The Truth About ESL In Mexico ~ Teaching English ~ by Doug Bower - What's more disappointing than a person who makes a promise he can't keep? A person who makes a promise that is a lie. Many promises to make a "decent living" teaching English in Mexico are just that - a lie. If you do a phrase search on Google, "teach English in Mexico," you will get almost 11,000,000 hits. Some of these sites are filled with tantalizingly appealing phrases like,
Ruminations On Good ole Canada ~ Postcard From Costa Rica ~ by Kevin Barker - My apologies to any readers who waited patiently for my report on Buenos Aires and/or my definitive profile of renowned realtor and man-about-town in Nicaragua Larry Hustler. All of that is coming but not right now. Actually in this issue I need to answer some reader mail that’s been piling up for eons. But first, a personal update: Late last September it seemed oddly appropriate for me to go sit in a Toronto hotel room and get all misty watching curling on TV. 
Prices On Margarita Island ~ The Most Inexpensive Spot In The Caribbean ~ by Scott Boswell - In recent articles for Escape From America I’ve been telling people that Margarita Island is probably the cheapest place to vacation or live in all of the Caribbean. The one possible exception I thought might be the Dominican Republic. I just received an e-mail from a couple who want to come see Margarita Island and who are currently living in the D.R. I asked them why they were thinking of moving, and to my surprise their reply was - 
Fortaleza Forever ~ In The North Of Brazil ~ by Alexander Arden - Over 50 countries around the world were visited to find the perfect site for an eco-friendly community, which was chosen to be in the state of Ceará, Brazil. We wanted to provide "State of the Art" health care services including plastic surgery,laser eye surgery, hair transplants, and cosmetic dentistry and we have succeeded. Our 5 star medical and dental specialists are in a world class category. We have expanded from only health services to offer travel services, company services, investment services, immigration services, real estate services, and university services. ....

Offshore Living ~ Ecuador Offers Residency Rights In Paradise - On The Cheap ~ by Gary A. Scott -Ecuador has been in the headlines lately, and none of it good. Squabbles with the International Monetary Fund…interrupted oil exports…citizens marching in the streets. A lot of people look at that and might decide to stay away. I look at it and see a buying opportunity. And that’s because Ecuador is a slice of paradise. Its short-term troubles give you a chance to buy real estate there on the cheap. The fact is, every decade or so, Ecuador goes through the most “civilized” civil unrest you’ll ever see. People go on strike—but still show up to do their jobs. When/if the government changes, life goes on. .

Romania On The Rise ~ Investing In Eastern Europe ~ by Kevin Stillmock - "Moscow aside, if you look at central and eastern Europe, Bucharest is probably the biggest and most interesting opportunity for property investors right now," says Edit Vesser, corporate director for CB Richard Ellis in Bucharest in an article recently published by the esteemed Irish Times. Approximately nine months ago, in February 2005, I first alerted readers of Escape Artist to the incredible potential latent in the Eastern European country of Romania. Several readers who contacted me purchased land through a realtor that I advised them of in an area outside of the city limits of Bucharest at 40 Euro per square meter.

Memories Of Piha New Zealand ~ On The Wild West Coast Of New Zealand ~ by Stephanie Giordano - Before every winter's arrival I sense its presence. I feel the bitter chill in the air, and the familiar scent of snow. At first it’s a welcomed phenomenon. The idea of bundling up with plush blankets and hot cocoa sounds appealing. This feeling, however, is short lived for me. After a few snow storms, when I can't feel my nose and toes, and I'm so bitterly cold that by the time I get inside I'm sweating from moving so fast, I remember how much I miss summer. Actually, this year, I'll remember how much I miss Piha. Piha, on the wild west coast of New Zealand, will become my recurring destination as an escape from New York winters. 
Elephants, Dragons, Rice Fields, Pagodas, Karaoke, And Edible Puppies ~ Going It Alone In China’s Guangxi Province ~ by Steenie Harvey - Students aside, most first-time travelers to China join organized tours. But not everybody enjoys group travel, set meals, and rigid itineraries. Although things sometimes go wrong, I much prefer the freedom of making my own discoveries. Besides, going it alone is always likely to be cheaper than any tour. But if you don’t speak Chinese is traveling independently feasible in this country? Is it easy to book internal flights, use public transport, and find decent hotels at affordable prices? 
On The Camino de Santiago ~ The Way Of St. James ~ by Richard Frederick - There may come a point in some people's lives when they decide that they must go on a pilgrimage.  Pilgrimages come in different sorts. Some may be less weighty; they can lead to Graceland or to Jim Morrison's grave in Paris. Others may be personally important, perhaps the return of an emigrant to his birthplace after many years of separation from his homeland. Others can lead to the settlement of a new country. The dictionary says that a pilgrimage is a journey undertaken with a specific objective.
A Trip To Magna Grecia ~ The Many Faces Of Southern Italy ~ by Marialena Lioulia - Visiting the southern part of Italy has been a desire of mine for quite some time: I have visited Italy three times in the past twenty years, but never the deep south of Italy. Entering Italy from Greece is not much of a problem, since both air and links can get you across the Adriatic Sea in no time. This time I embarked on a ferry for Italy from the Greek port of Patras - my destination was Brintisi, a 14 hour trip
One Week In The Coastal Paradise Of Western India ~In Goa ~ by Rajdeep Bhattacharjee - As I was wondering where to escape to during this time of the year, I received a call from Catherine, a friend of mine from Kolkata who wanted me to join her on a trip to Goa. Wow!!! I just jumped out of the chair and said yes immediately. As we were both camping at different locations, we decided to meet up at Mumbai Airport. It was on the morning of 24th October, I took the newly introduced Spice Jet flight from New Delhi and reached Mumbai in the afternoon and was joined by Catherine who was waiting for me since morning.
Pura Vida In Costa Rica ~ Enjoying Manuel Antonio ~ by Cindie Baxter - Often, we gauge the satisfaction of a much anticipated exotic beach vacation by the number of days spent basking in the warm tropical sun's rays. To say that being caught in tropical storm force winds, pounding rain, and loss of both power and water would be anyone's ideal vacation would be insane, or would it? Before you send the men in the little white coats, consider this. Pura vida!
The Magic Of Phuket, Thailand ~ Finding Thailand ~ by Susan Hart - When I first arrived in Thailand, I did not expect to fall in love. In fact, just the opposite was true. Driving into Bangkok for a three-day stopover on the way to Phuket Island, my first impression was one of shabby buildings, unsophisticated advertising billboards, and suffocating smog. In the superficial glance I was able to give it, (and through the lens of my Western cultural viewpoint), Bangkok looked like a tawdry imitation of what I had left behind.
In Guatemala ~ On The Road To Panama ~ by John & Harriet Halkyard - There had been quite a debate at the language school we had been attending, and between our host family where we had been living, as to which market was the more interesting: San Francisco el Alto or Guatemala’s most famous market, Chichicastenango. We had seen the former and now we would explore the latter. Actually, in my mind there was no question that we were going to go to Chichicastenango. It was on my list before we left the US in our motorhome three weeks earlier. San Francisco el Alto was a bonus.
My Brazilian Experience ~ And Brazil's Best Kept Secret ~ by Richard Conti - My name is Richard Conti. I am originally from New York City. Being raised in the shadows of the once towering World Trade Center little or nothing surprises me or shocks me these days. I now live and have lived in Beautiful Boca Raton Florida on the southeast coast of Florida for about eight years. No other city has impressed me as much as Boca Raton until I discovered a Most Wonderful Place in Brazil !!
