 Island
Fever ~ Moving
To Fiji ~ by Susan Rungo-de Geus - We had this
crazy dream. It’s a common one … a captivating one even. But one that was,
for most people, but a dream. The dream was to pack up and take off and
live on a beautiful South Pacific island. Islands that seem to float, adrift,
on impossibly blue seas. Places of paradise untouched by the ravages of
industrial man. For us, this is a dream we dream while we are awake.
Fear
And Loathing In Fortaleza ~ Robin
In Brazil's Northeast - Part Two ~ by Robin Sparks - It’s true that
Fortaleza has one of the sunniest climates in the world with year-round
temperatures hovering in the low to mid 80's. If you don’t mind relentless
wind, it may be perfect for you. But I happen to dislike wind (a lot),
and the sight of so many aging white men in bermuda shorts on the arms
of young brown women in tight short skirts and stacked heels, just intensified
the ick factor for me.
Living
On Antigua And Barbuda ~ Interview
With Greg Urlwin ~ by Susan Noyce - A life at sea sounds like a dream
to many. Others would wish for a mixture of land and ocean. Ferrying people
and cargo between Antigua and Barbuda, Greg Urlwin has found the perfect
blend. In the early 80's, Urlwin decided he wanted to follow in his uncle's
wake, and sail to the Caribbean.
Culture
Shock Within The Same Culture ~ The
Differences Between Buenos Aires And The Rest Of Argentina ~ by Jaime
Russell - When I was an exchange student here in Argentina (I’m originally
from the US) one thing that all of the exchange students noticed was that
for the first few weeks (or even months) you were always tired.
When
I First Discovered Escape Artist Magazine I Was Looking To Do Just That,
Escape! ~ Escape
To The Marshall Islands ~ by George Johnson - I don’t know what your
motivation is in wanting to “escape” to exotic lands, meet new friends
and experience special cultures and customs but, for me I was just tired
of the same old same old. I had lost my fiancé to another man. |

Tasting
And Toasting In Tasmania ~ Travel
In Tasmania ~ by Dawnelle Salant - Tasmania is one of Australia’s
most often overlooked states, which is a shame because the island state
has plenty of hidden sights to delight visitors. Hobart, the state capital
and second oldest city in Australia, is an impressive city on another spectacular
harbor. I arrive on December 30th, the day after the yachts in the famous
Sydney to Hobart yacht race had arrived, and the harbor is packed with
exotic yachts.
A
Look Back Into The Future ~ Africa
And Latin America ~ by Jurgen Klemann - After
putting my grades for the winter semester on ITESM’s computer platform
and wrapping my classes up, my one month winter vacation/holiday could
start. It goes without saying that leaving Colima during that time didn’t
even deserve to be called a remote option. Colima in winter comes quite
close to what I’m fond of calling “bloody marvellous”. From November to
typically April or May the weather tends to be very warm without humidity.
Travel
To Costa Rica ~ Along
The Pacific Coast ~ by Matthew Atlee - We wanted to go to Hungary,
at least that was the plan last year, but the plans had changed and so
we decided to visit Costa Rica instead. Costa Rica in December is great:
the rains end and the dry weather and cool dry breezes begin to blow through
the Central Valley of Costa Rica where the towns of San José, Alajuela,
Cartago and Heredia are located.
Abandon
The Rat Race ~ Become
A Caretaker Overseas ~ by Gary Dunn - Bob and Camille Armantrout could
hardly contain their excitement as they packed for their next adventure.
They had recently responded to an ad in The Caretaker Gazette and received
an offer. In a couple of weeks they were leaving Maui, Hawaii to assumemanagement
responsibilities at Casa Iguana on Little Corn Island off the coast of
Nicaragua.
Nectar
Of The Gods ~ Wine
On Corfu ~ by Janet Darbey - The huge hornets, bright yellow and black
striped minature helicopters, buzz around the huge black wooden vat outside
the taverna. The air is thick with the smell of ripe fruit and the flowers
in the pots that surround the car park area. The village atmosphere is
one of happiness and celebration, hard work and old traditions that go
back to ancient times.
Advice
On Finding A Job In Taiwan ~ Six
Months In Taiwan ~ by Daniel Wallace - This is a guide to coming to
Taiwan as an English teacher, but it is not a complete one. It is a list
of things to do and try, rather than a list of things to avoid or be careful
of. At the end of the piece I will give some links to other, more comprehensive
information sources, if you are interested in doing further research. There
is a huge amount of complaining about Taiwan on the Internet, and as I
really like living here, I want to give my positive advice on how to come
here and get a good life sorted out.
With
Residency In Argentina, I Am A Member Of Mercosur ~ Residency
In Argentina ~ by Delores Johnson - Many people do not know
what Mercosur is. I did not know before moving to Buenos Aires eighteen
months ago. Mercosur is a political and economic bloc of countries, similar
to the European Union. Five countries in South America: Argentina, Brazil,
Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela are members. Five other South American
countries are associate members: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and
Peru.

The
Most Beautiful Place You've Never Heard Of ~ Living
In Southern Chile ~ by Douglas Harris - Only the most geographically
challenged have never heard of Patagonia, a few can name a location like
San Carlos Bariloche, Argentina which has been famous with skiers for years
and is becoming popular with world travelers flocking to the Lake District.
Beyond Bariloche, the map of Patagonia is blank.

It Costs To Be Well In Six Of Latin America’s Top Havens ~ by The Staff
Of International Living - The following article estimates the cost of healthcare
in six very popular Latin American countries. If you are thinking of moving
to Latin America then the above article should give you an idea as to how
much you can expect to pay in healthcare.
Moving
To Chile, Part Three ~ Feliz
y Prospero Año Nuevo! ~ by Bonnie and Gary Paulsson - What
a momentous and unexpectedly poignant year we have just finished wrapping
up and storing away! We hope this bit of correspondence from our home in
the heart of Chile finds each and every one of you healthy and happy! Hopefully
you have been enjoying our commentary as we "struggle" to enjoy the beautiful
summer days and warm nights as well.
Walk
In Their Shoes ~ Tips
On Dealing With Staff In The Dominican Republic ~ by Ginnie Bedggood
- Most new residents in the Dominican Republic, certainly the retiree population,
will have weekly if not daily contact with a maid (cleaning lady) and gardener,
so I'll start there and come on to other contractors and employees later.
We have had the most marvellous cleaning lady for the past 10 years; she
is now part of our family. But unfortunately, illness has put her on long
term sick leave, although, of course her job is always here when she recovers
sufficiently.
More
On Living In Joao Pessoa ~ Brazil's
Best Kept Secret ~ by Richard Conti - We were
so lucky last year while vacationing in Natal, Brazil. However, Natal had
little to do with our luck as we were not all that impressed with the goings
on there or the general area for that matter. After hearing so much about
beautiful Northeast Brazil we had actually became a bit discouraged about
what we had heard and read as none of it seemed to be true.
Adventures
In Costa Rica ~ Tale
Of Two Joses ~ by Kevin Barker - Nestled within
that vast cordillera which defines the east and west of Central America
lies a charming little town called San Antonio de Escazu. Everyone in Costa
Rica knows it. Only a select few know what lies along a precipitous dirt
road which climbs the mountain behind it. There, in the third of five humble
row houses edging a ravine, is where I can be found.
Finding
And Eating The Best Cashews Money Can’t Buy! ~Adventures
In Panama ~ by Ernesto Mendiola - It started as an after thought. After
all, we were on our way home from visiting our future home site in Las
Brisas del Frances, Boquete, to the town of Atalaya in the Province of
Veraguas and still had several hours of driving time ahead of us.
Bullfight
~ From
Mexico ~ by Dru Pearson - Carrie invited me on a Sunday outing. Her
friends, Maria and Juan, had invited Carrie, Ella, and me to join them,
their children’s families, and six cattlemen from Nebraska for a bullfight.
We first stopped by the hacienda, built in 1540, to meet Maria and get
the tickets. The hacienda, located in a small Zapopan town near Guadalajara,
was positioned directly across from the village church—the proximity a
sign of the hacienda’s prominence in the life of the town.
Christmas
& New Year On Margarita Island ~ Tropical
Holiday ~ by Scott Boswell - Just as in most of the rest of the world,
the colored lights are strung along the the major roadways, houses are
decorated, and stores are abundantly stocked in anticipation of the shopping
frenzy. Homes are repaired, painted, and ‘spruced up’ to be ready for all
the visiting friends and relatives, and parties are everywhere! In my neighborhood
alone one house had 24 cars parked around it!
On
The Coast Of Spain ~ A
Look At The Ecology Of Coastal Livng ~ by Paul Read - Over the last
twelve months, we have seen nature at its most unforgiving: whilst the
tragic tsunami hit Asia, Spain experienced freak frosts that decimated
crops and fruit trees followed up a drought that many believe is one of
the worst in living memory. This summer, whilst the USA was hit by Katrina
we have witnessed jelly-fish invasions on the coast and tornados in Barcelona.
Being
An Expat In China ~ In
China During The Bombing In Belgrade ~ by Shane Jackson - Sitting just
outside Richard's Pub puffing on the day's one and only reflection. It
was warm and dry, small plastic shopping bags and other pieces of random
garbage blew by. The scooter's scurried past like so many petro-powered
cockroaches spewing thick blue oily smoke into the air for all to breathe.
Small children stood on the running boards of the scooters between mom's
rippling skirt and the steering yoke, attention riveted forward with absolute
glee.

- the laid back Caribbean country of Central America! 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

spirits and rum soaked nights. It's the place we dreamed about as children.
A place where we could do what we wanted without being called in to wash
up for dinner. It's a place where you need to know how to repair your own
car and replace parts of your plumbing with bailing wire and tape. It's
also a place where big brother isn't looking over your shoulder and you
can set your own building codes or own a flock of chickens. It's a place
where you can spend the day fishing without trying to keep up with the
Jones's. It's also become one of the hottest expatriate destinations in
Latin America. ...it's not for everyone, but it may be for you. If so,
there's a new eBook that will take you to Belize and help you stay there.

Dubai:
Make The Most Of Your Money In The City Of Gold ~ Zero
Taxes, Zero Restrictions, and Busybody Bureaucrats Be Damned ~ by
W. William Woods - When you think of the Middle East, the first words that
come to your mind might not be “business friendly” or “moderate” or “peaceful.”
But all those words describe Dubai. Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates,
a political union that was formed in 1971 when Abu Zaby, Ajman, Al Fujayrah,
Ash Shariqah, Dubayy (Dubai), and Umm al Qaywayn merged. They were joined
a year later by Ra’s al Khaymah. The UAE is a small nation nestled between
Saudi Arabia and Oman, but oil wealth helped put its per capita GDP on
par with Western Europe.

Travels
In Nice ~ One
Of Europe's Great Cities ~ by Richard Robinson - In
the old part of Nice there is a small shop beneath a striped awning called
Cave de la Tour. Strictly speaking it is a wine vault but in fact it defies
categorization. A tiny stone bar is shoehorned between vats and racks of
wine, a place to sample and buy the excellent Vin de Bellet of the region.
There are two or three small tables with checkered covers crammed inside,
and some chairs and up-ended barrels outside, on a narrow street free from
traffic.
Travels
In Yemen ~ On
The Arabian Peninsula ~ by Dustin Javorsky - For over the past
year the country of Yemen has had its foot firmly in the US Government's
list of places your average tourist shouldn't visit, the warning states:
The Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens to consider carefully
the risks of traveling to Yemen. The security threat level remains high
due to terrorist activities in Yemen, and Americans are urged to exercise
caution and take prudent measures to maintain their security.
Gothic
Ghent ~ Travels
In Belgium ~ Written & Photographed By Sam Mills - I
had never seen a real guillotine before, but here, in the Museum of Torture
in the too aptly named Castle of the Counts, was a real, live, working
model. And, ghoul that I am, I was fascinated. Circling the beast, I checked
out the weight of the heavy, rust-pitted blade, noting how ingeniously
it had been cut on a bias to better perform its grisly work.
Bieszczady
Mountains ~ Poland’s
Hidden Corner ~ by Bart Nabrdalik - For most western tourists anything
in Poland outside of Krakow and Warsaw, with perhaps Danzig and Breslau
thrown in for good measure, is still pretty much a terra incognita. Even
for the Poles themselves, many areas along their country’s eastern frontier
with Ukraine are little known, and therefore pleasantly devoid of the trappings
of mass tourism.
Lost
In Borneo ~ Deep
In The Forest Of Borneo ~ by David Metz - I'm scared crazy and my body
is shaking terribly. I had just heard two shotgun blasts fire off in the
night. It’s late, as I'm startled awake. I'm camped on the only trail that
follows a narrow ridge deep in this remote region of Borneo and I fear
Murut hunters are coming my way. With animist beliefs and modern weapons,
surely they would fire at any animal or man foreign to them, including
myself.
Sunderbans
Once Again ~ In
Bangladesh ~ by Rajdeep Bhattacharjee - Since I made a trip to the
Sunderbans National Park on the Indian side last summer, I decided to see
the Bangladesh side of the park this summer. As all trips to Sunderbans
National Park in Bangladesh are by group package, it was difficult for
me as I a single foreigner to fulfill my wish. I did check various websites
and after all the crosschecking found Green Channel Tour Operators, whose
itinerary looked interesting.
On
The Modern Silk Road ~ Traveling
An Ancient Trade Route ~ by Susan Boyoung - Born
in South Korea and raised in America, I embody Eastern roots with Western
views. Traveling through China fulfilled part of my personal story, for
in our heritage lies a discovery that may answer some of our precious questions.
With a group of students from The Beijing Center, I traversed part of the
1,423 mile ancient Silk Road exploring the land, people, and places of
my root culture.
The
Fascinating Coral Reef In Toliara, Madagascar ~ Diving
And Traveling In Madagascar ~ by Harinia - One of the most frequently
visited provinces in Madagascar is Toliara. From Antananarivo the RN7 will
lead you to Toliara. Taking the road, you will reach the province of Fianarantsoa
(408 km from Antananarivo) before arriving in Isalo (206 km from Fianarantsoa.)
Situated in the southwestern corner of Madagascar, the lsalo range raises
its rocky heads.
Travel
In Burma ~ Asia's
Most Obscure Travel Destination ~ by John Spampinato - A half cup of
coffee and an exit form sat on the table before me, and I was loath to
finish either. I wanted that coffee to last forever, its contents to magically
refill with each sip. And I wanted that form to just disappear. The experiences
of the past several weeks had been somewhere between an opium dream and
a National Geographic cover story.
Hills,
Mountains And Sea ~ The
Adventure Side Of Hong Kong ~ by Antonio Graceffo - Trekking up a steep
knife-edged ridge, covered in late season grass, the slope gently dropped
off on either side. To my right, the green rolling hills were expansive,
filling the horizon with a never-ending panorama of undisturbed nature.
To my left, an easy bluff eventually gave way to a sharp drop of approximately
sixty meters, ending on a sandy beach.
A
Small Tragedy In Kuala Lumpur ~ Travels
In Malaysia ~ Written And Photographed by David Lavoie - I have been
watching a small tragedy unfold here in Kuala Lumpur. The story is hardly
unique to this lovely city, but is, unfortunately, common around the world
as our demands for living space take up more and more of our natural resources.
Compared to the huge misery of a natural disaster like the Tsunami, it
is nothing, but it must be terrifying for the little beings involved.

| Are you Living Overseas? Are
you traveling in one of the four corners of the world? Running a
hamburger stand in Tegucigalpa? Tell like-minded people about it!
We can assure you that our readers want to know about what you're doing!
We want articles from anyone living an usual lifestyle. What we're looking
for are ideas, not Pulitzer Prize writers. Ideas are what fuel our magazine,
and our website. You don't have to be a professional writer to submit an
article - especially if you've walked the walk. Send us your article ideas,
we are very interested in hearing from you. We are currently seeking
articles on living overseas, adventure and discovery travel, jobs overseas,
those who've started overseas businesses, worked overseas as a telecommuter,
internet businesses, and articles on the subject of offshore investing.
We are also seeking articles by those who have invested offshore who will
share their experiences, both positive and negative. Anonymous bylines
are okay. We are seeking articles from those who have been successful
at starting and running businesses abroad or on-line from overseas locations.
We're continually looking for articles on overseas living lifestyles -
let us hear from you. - Click
