My Heart’s In France, But My Mind’s On Portugal

What More Could An Expat Ask For? What a week to be in Portugal! Especially for me… when my own nation, France—the host for the 2016 UEFA European Championships—winds up against the Portuguese team in the final showdown.

This Year’s Panama Conference Has Even More Experts

June 6, 2016

All Hands On Deck In Panama Over the last few months, I’ve been lucky to get to travel to Belize, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic for our Live and Invest Overseas in-country events.

Tourism In Portugal Is On The Rise And Here’s Why

May 30, 2016

Best Bang For Your Buck In Europe In 2015, Portugal celebrated a new record. The number of international visitors to the country broke the 10 million mark for the first time.

Before You Move Overseas, Meet The Neighbors… If you’ve ever worried that, by moving overseas, you’ll be cut off from North American—or, at least, English-speaking—company, then please be assured that the world is far smaller than you think… as your fellow reader Michael Herndon recently found: Valentine, I’m staying in Valencia, Spain, until June 3.…

Life In Medellín And Mexico: Latin America’s Best Options

Are We Still In Latin America? As the crow flies, Panama City (my newly adopted home) and Medellín, Colombia—where we gathered last week for our sixth Live and Invest in Colombia Conference—are but 330 miles apart.
