cottage with roses around the door, the editor of International Living’s
U.K. edition has just the key to your pleasure. Here is her handpicked

The best
places in the world to "retire" - our annual survey - Click
Here - Economic crises, weak currencies, and natural disasters
have worked to your advantage this year if you’re in the market for a new
destination to call home. Ecuador, long one of our favorite picks for overseas
living, has finally risen to no. 1 in our ranking after years in the top
5, an honor due in no small part to the calamities—economic, political,
and natural—that the country has weathered in the last two years.
Nicaragua
this November: Pacific-coast bargains & the next Caribbean hot spot
- Click
Here - We are as bullish as ever on Nicaragua’s Pacific-coast real
estate. It’s one of the best investments you can make today. A lot overlooking
the ocean sells for as little as $22,000. Compare that to prices in Costa
Rica, just 100 miles south along the same coast: In the beachfront area
of Tamarindo, you’ll typically pay $150,000 for a quarter-acre lot.
No perfect
vessel: What kind of boat makes a good home? - Click
Here - by Kiana Delamare, As explained in last month’s issue, she and
her husband John used to spend hours on their porch at their home on Luck
Hill, Tortola, watching boats sail by, tucking into secluded bays that
could be reached no other way. They fantasized about buying a boat and
sailing from island to island, traveling with no real schedule or deadlines,
able to stay as long as they liked and leave whenever the urge struck them.
Finally,
they decided to do it.
Vive
la difference … in Denmark, that is: Why you should visit (and bank)
here - Click
Here - "Despite the high prices almost everywhere in Denmark, banking

and investment services and do more in Copenhagen than through my Swiss
bankers who have served me for 30 years."
Winter

User-friendly
& cost-effective, new offshore legislation broadens Belize’s appeal
- Click
Here - by Joel M. Nagel, "In my view, Belize is the most user-friendly,
tax-efficient business center in the world." When you think of Belize,
you may think of its beaches, its rain forests, its spectacular diving,
and its Mayan heritage ... but you should add its offshore banking structures
to your list. This tiny country’s popularity among tax practitioners,
estate planners, and international businesspeople has grown tremendously
in the last decade, and enthusiasm has really piqued in the last year.
