Portugal and Spain share a border—and a lot of appeal for expats seeking sunshine, Old World culture, and a slower pace of life. But while they may seem similar on the surface, each offers distinctly different cultures, as well as different advantages for retirees and remote workers. Portugal is known for its affordability, residency-friendly policies,…
Panama feels like a second home to me… I lived there for seven years with my husband, and we built a fruitful life there. Even though we moved away in 2018, we’re still Panama residents, which means we can come and go as we please, and we can stay for as long as we like.…
My quote for this issue may have been a truism when Sterne was writing in the 1700s… but it’s certainly not the case for some of Spain’s now not-so-hidden gems.

Afternoons of sangria, tapas, and paella… Weekends of fiestas, flamenco, and fireworks… Living in some of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities: Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Bilbao, Malaga… With over 3,000 miles of coastline, fresh seafood, and a warm climate year-round… And mountain ranges that offer 3,000+ meters of altitude for hiking, skiing, and sightseeing… The reality…
When I went to Portugal last month for our Live And Invest in Portugal Conference, I took the chance to interview some of my friends and colleagues who live there. I stopped in Lisbon on the way south to meet our 100+ attendees in Albufeira, and met my friend Dan, who toured me around his…
The most charming villages… the most walkable towns… the most romantic city… Its café culture is the envy of the world… while its fashion and arts have dominated it for centuries… Life here is famously safe and pleasant, and it offers every type of living you could dream of. Do you want a life of…
Panama consistently ranks among the world’s top retirement destinations… It’s blessed with two long coasts, countless islands, a cosmopolitan city, mountain retreats, virgin rain forests, rustic villages, and historic colonial towns… In other words, this country offers something for everyone.
