I don’t need to remind you of the challenges of our time in history. Cable news has got that beat covered. And in any case, I’m about finding opportunity (because I believe it can always be found) and organizing your life so you can enjoy what the world has to offer… even if you have [...]
Dreaming of a new life in Portugal? No doubt, as you consider the idea of launching a new life in this glorious corner of the Old World, you’ve got questions. Here... let me try to help. Perhaps you’re wondering Q: Should I ship my car? A: If you’re moving from an EU country, maybe yes. [...]
Americans used to be the great movers of the world. Think of the pioneers who settled the West… traveling thousands of miles with nothing just to find a place where they could truly live free, far from the Old World governments that kept them down… looking for new opportunities on new lands because opportunities had [...]
You know I’ve been bullish on Panama for years. Long-term, Panama will be one of the main global business hubs, competing with Singapore and Dubai… All in all, Panama is a country where you should consider “planting a flag.” Panama uses the U.S. dollar, so you won’t get any currency diversification, but for many people [...]

Then came the CrowdStrike computer crash which grounded flights and downed systems in hospitals, emergency services, banks, governments, schools, and more around the world. Now, Biden has declared himself out of the running in the presidential race [...]

But considering the current state of affairs in the United States... the divisive political atmosphere... the cost of daily life and medical care... the overall lack of safety... the tone of the [...]
Recently, a reader wrote to me to ask whether she should buy property in Greece to qualify for residency under its golden visa program. She was considering the golden visa because she wanted more time in the Schengen Area than her U.S. passport allows (90 days in any 180-day period), but she had questions because [...]
