Top 10 Reasons I Moved To Europe Heart versus head. When it comes to choosing where to live overseas, both have to play an important part. I’ve talked a lot over the last few weeks about the head side of things… thinking about environment, climate, infrastructure, etc. But the more abstract side of things is…
Last week, LIOS’ widespread experts, expats, and editors took attendees at our 2020 Retire Overseas Virtual Conference on a tour of the top 21 destinations worth your consideration for living and investing in today… One of the places that recently entered this top 21 list is Brazil… We haven’t talked much about Brazil here before.…

Keeping It Legal In Your New Home Last week Harry and I successfully renewed our residency permits here in France, and, boy are we relieved to be official again. Our first-year visas expired in January 2020, and we were supposed to go to get them renewed the day Ariadne was due to be born. We…
Back To School (And Life) In Paris Springtime in Paris is well acclaimed… but I’d like to make a case for autumn in the City of Light, which, for my money, is just as alluring… perhaps more so. September in Paris is a magical time. To misquote Nora Ephron, “Don’t you love Paris in the…

Mexican Standoff: Playa Del Carmen Versus Tulum On Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, there’s about an 80-mile stretch that’s become known as the Riviera Maya. It unfolds roughly from Cancún to the Sian Ka’an Nature Reserve, which begins right after you pass through Tulum. This region has been on the map for decades and has evolved in…
Paris Versus Lisbon—It’s A Tough Choice… European borders opened recently, allowing me to do a little more than dream of getting out of France for a bit.
