SECTION ONE - LIVING OVERSEAS - INTERNATIONAL RELOCATION From Big Apple to Romantic Paris  By Alex and wife From Big Apple to Romantic Paris - My wife and I moved from New York City to Paris about six months ago.  What is life like here?  Life here is quiet.  It is good.  For us, it is not sexy or glamorous in the way you might expect.  Our lives are nothing like those you read about in a novel, or a travel magazine.  No, for us life now is about strangely magical, but actually very mundane, routines.  I am not the same person now that I was six months ago.  My own personal circumstances changed me, but also, Paris itself has changed me. . A Ghana Getaway By Anne Coombes  A Ghana Getaway - A visit to Ghana is something you’ll never regret.  Its vibrancy is unforgettable.  The streets hum with colour and noise and the Ghanaians are the most fun loving people on the planet; nobody can party like they can.  They certainly aren’t shy when it comes to getting down on the dancefloor.  However, when they aren’t shaking their booties, teasing each other naughtily or cackling helplessly with laughter, they are content to just chill. . Le Bout du Monde 6  By Basil Howitt Le Bout Du Monde 6:Villagers Get Stroppy - Basil Howitt deplores the shambolic installation in his remote village of a so-called “high-speed” WiFi internet service. It has proved to be often far worse than snail-paced. Howitt also reports on the commendable indoctrination of local French children into serious gourmet eating habits. . Copan Ruinas, Honduras: Residing in a Tourist Town  By Elizabeth Nutter-Valladares Copan Ruinas, Honduras: Residing in a Tourist Town - Copan Ruinas has long had a reputation as one of the best coffee producing regions in the world.  Copan Ruinas is now becoming known more and more for the coffee that grows in the outlying plantations and the coffee tourism it is starting to attract, as well as the Ruins.  . On Learning the Korean Language  By Antonio Graceffo On Learning the Korean Language - The average person, normal people who haven’t dedicated their lives to being language and martial arts study-monks, would imagine that learning Chinese is about the hardest things someone could do.  But two weeks into my study of Korean, I began to suspect that Korean was harder.  Six months later, when I could read and write with ease, and possessed thousands of vocabulary words, and countless grammatical structures, but still couldn’t order off a menu, I was convinced, Korean is the hardest of the ten languages I have studied.  . How To Volunteer Overseas For A Week To A Year Or More By Brent Wilson How To Volunteer Overseas For A Week To A Year Or More - If you only learn one thing from this article, remember this: the person who will be changed the most from the experience won't be anybody you are volunteering among, but you.  You will see the world a little bit differently, you'll probably see how few resources most people in the world have, but still they manage to get along.  It's a great introduction to living overseas.  You might even find a country to settle in as a result of your volunteer experience, one that you wouldn't have considered before. . Moving With Kids   By Bercedeh Stark Moving With Kids - Moving is a great cause of stress. Even for adults, a major move creates a cascade of emotions, some welcome – but many that are challenging.  When you are moving with children you’ll not only have your own difficulties, but they will also experience stress and negative emotion. . How Not to get Robbed while Living in Chile By Heather Domnick How Not to get Robbed while Living in Chile - Violent crimes against Americans and other expatriates are nearly unheard of in Santiago.  In fact, I struggle to recall any such stories.  Expats are more often victims of non-violent home robberies, crimes of opportunity, crimes of stupidity rather than those that involve tied up maids and murder. What then, one might ask, separates the robbed from those who still have all their original house contents? The answer is simple: The right information.  . Nectar of The Gods By Boughton Lloyd Nectar of The Gods - Set in San Rafael in the south of the vast wine growing area of Mendoza district, some 1000 km west of Buenos Aires, Roca Wines is one of approximately 1700 wineries producing an eclectic range of fine red, white and rose wines.  Its four vineyards, totalling 114 hectares, like the other 16,000 or so vineyards in the province, are fed by snowmelt from the awesome Andean mountain range, which makes its way through the foothills via the Atuel and Diamante rivers and into a complicated and staggeringly efficient network of irrigation canals. . Meanwhile.... The New Miracle of Quantum Medicine -As I approach the ripe old age of 50, I have been trying every form of medication, old and new,  to help fight off the effects of aging and de-generating;  I have  used shrinks, modern homeopathy and hypnotherapy.   All with modest success.   However I recently heard a rumor of a new practice called Quantum and hunted down the treatment in Cancun, Mexico.

Anchored to the Dollar By Tim Jacobson Anchored to the Dollar - It is the dream of many an escapist to finish a working career and, with money in the bank and retirement checks coming each month, set off in search of adventure. But how often do any of these dreams include that occasional storm and the resulting consequences?  Do your dreams include the preparations necessary to weather the storms common to these adventures? . Kenyan Market-Investment Opportunities  By James Joroge Kenyan Market-Investment Opportunities - The key to doing good business in Africa is to have good professionals to back you up.  In most cases, you will find bureaucracy in government painfully slow, multiple approvals await you, the process itself of getting approvals from the Government and Local Authorities may sometimes not be very clear.  However, if you have an appetite for risk and the necessary patience the rewards are numerous. .

Strohl U.S: Exclusion Rules on Sale of Principal Residence - Moving Away (from / to US) and Would Like to Sell your Principal Residence, Maintain it or Rent it?  The goal of this article is to provide a comprehensive checklist of information to consider prior to filing a tax return.  . Escape America! By Robert E. Bauman JD Escape America! - United States citizens or resident aliens must pay annual income tax (IRS Form 1040) on all income earned from any source anywhere in the world.  That’s the rule, no matter where you live, in or out of the United States.  Unlike many other nations, a U.S. person can’t escape taxes simply by moving offshore.  But there are ways that an American can reduce or defer taxes legally. . Driving the Pan-American Highway to Mexico and Central America - Mark McMahon, drove a four wheel drive from Tucson, Arizona all the way to the tip of South America. He's not the first to do it, but his reports of the trip are extremely inspiring and were featured on the website EscapeArtist.com.  He took his time, stopped where he wanted, and sometimes spent months exploring and photographing just one nation before proceeding to another.  In short, he made driving the Pan American Highway the adventure of a lifetime, and took him almost four very exciting and adventure-filled years to complete his journey. Arizona to Patagonia is a major undertaking.The purpose of this guidebook is to assist those wishing to drive to areas of Mexico and Central America. The United States was a sleeping giant in the l9th century. The railroads that were built across the country were the instrumental forces in its development. Mexico and Central America are being awakened from their slumber by the building of the Pan-American Highway.  . INTERNATIONAL REPORTS ON OFFSHORE INVESTING How To Get A Second Passport - Now you can get a second passport - click here for details - This is the only book that will get you a second passport; without the hype, the rip off, the B.S. and the run-around common to most books on this subject. This book will also show you how to get residency, work permits, retirement residency, and student visas in every region of the world. Twenty seven nations covered - 241 pages of rock solid facts. Privacy - Your most important possession - They've Declared War  on Your Wealth & Your Privacy  ..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! - The Privacy Report - Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy - Mark Nestmann was one of the people whose work I consulted when writing the book version of Escape From America. The ongoing erosion of privacy in the United States is the most important issue facing Americans today.  Without privacy, we have nothing, or less than nothing. Privacy is a human imperative because privacy of self is an important biological necessity of a sane and stable sense of self. It is a scientific fact that a rational person cannot have their autonomous sense of self (their sense of privacy of self,) compromised and still function as a healthy individual.  Thinking and creativity require the capacity to make independent judgments, an invasion of our privacy such as that going on in America today violates that capacity. It is more than important to reclaim our privacy, it is a biological necessity. Those who want to know about privacy and how to regain it turn to Mark Nestmann; he is the authority on issues of privacy, and he has a wide range of solutions to our loss of privacy problems.

Across There     Beyond the place,     where my vision ends.     And only with memories     can I reach out,     and touch every tangible moment.     Smelling the fruit and incense.     Hearing laughter and songs.     Feeling the warmth of a child's     hands in mine.     Tasting the tiny red chili monsters,     amongst my snowy white rice.     Becoming lost in prayers,     as the Temple bell sings out,      a song of Promise.     Chiding me for thinking of departure.     Telling me that I belong here.     Suddenly so far away,     once more.     Yet my deepest stratum      of delightful dreams,     will take me back.     Returning once again,     to a place of simplicity     and kindness. James R Wilkinson

Things You Should Know - Dubai has become one of the most famous holiday destinations these days.  The Dubai government is investing millions of dollars to bring Dubai up to a world-class tourist destination.  Dubai is truly a fantastic place to spend a memorable holiday. . A Ramble in South East Asia: Part 6  By Ron Hannah A Ramble in South East Asia: Part 6 - A seaside town always has the smell of dead fish about it, but Mui Ne had something extra in the air:  the odour of nuoc mam.  Every home had large ceramic vats a metre high, with wooden covers, holding an oily and moldy looking brew of fermenting fish.  After a number of months in the hot sun, a yellowish oil is drawn off and used in nearly every Vietnamese dish.  The smell is pungent but you get used to it, and we didn't find it too offensive. . Saudi Arabia: He Sings About His Gun By Matt Scott Saudi Arabia: He Sings About His Gun - A hawk soared on the thermals close by, before diving to catch its prey hidden somewhere among the rocks far below.  Juniper and acacia trees grew in between compact cacti that dotted the ground below.  Even thought the foliage was sparse the environment was in stark contrast to the desert that covers the majority of the Kingdom, where little, if anything grows. . A Week in the American Southwest:  A Shift in Attitude By Ron Hannah A Week in the American Southwest:  A Shift in Attitude - The snake moved nonchalantly into a sparse thicket and disappeared.  It was a small snake to be sure, but did this bush really have enough stalks to create such a thorough hideout?  It seemed to draw in its tail and vanish completely.  I too had been travelling, if not nonchalantly at least casually, in this Southwestern desert, and having been warned about rattlers and scorpions, had had my eyes to the ground, well, not entirely since the rolling landscape and bluish hills are so beautiful here that one simply has to admire them.
