For these reasons and more, retirement in Italy is unique for those desiring a longer, fuller life, a sense of adventure and pleasure at a leisurely pace matched by few countries anywhere. The biggest surprise is how much lower living expenses are in a country that is protective of its lifestyle, its economy, and its heritage.
Foreigners continue to arrive in waves (over 10% of the 5 million+ inhabitants are expats) to find their own mode of magic in Costa Rica. Perhaps it is the tropical climate, the abundance of nature, or the friendly locals. Or the numerous real estate options just about everywhere habitable. With a lower cost of living, ease back and forth to North America, and affordable medical care, it is not surprising that Costa Rica remains firmly near or at the top of international retirement lists.
There are few places in the world where the cost of living is as affordable as it is in Ecuador. You can easily live off $1,500 to $1,800 a month depending on location and lifestyle. You can own a home on a Pacific Coast beach or a condo with great views in the Andes for around $150,000. Rentals are plentiful and affordable too, with two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos starting at $500.
I am a lifetime IL member for years. I enjoy the magazine-although it has gone digital. For me it did broaden my international traveling to places I would have never considered-like Asia and Malta. You pay about the same per year for fitness or travel magazine subscriptions. My friend-who had never left the state-is now living in PV, Mexico because of this magazine. Are the RETA deals good..agree with what others who have posted--maybe not unless you do your duediligence and look at what other realtors have to offer.
To her credit Helen Daly from customer support did also post her email in here, hdaly@internationalliving.com which you can also use as a double edged sword. I certainly did. I hope that helps and stay safe everyone.
Hi all,I was recommended to buy property in Brazil, Villa Do Porto through international living conference, was looking for any other American or Canadian citizens who bought land in this development. There had been major delays and setbacks and was looking to find other owners since information is nearly non existent to get any updates. I am posting here since this was the organization that brought this project to light and recommended it was a solid investment.I know it was our choice to buy and am just looking to share updates.Thank you in advance.
I am very interested to find out how this investment goes for you. Your comment doesn't come with a date so I'm wondering if the inability to get updated information is related to covid-19. I hope it is. It would be a bit distressing to find out that it's not easily available otherwise. What made you decide on Brazil Have you been there at all Was there a conference specifically on Brazil that influenced you Having actually purchased property on the recommendation of international living, you're one of the few people to turn to for feedback.
I have enjoyed my International Living magazine and have shared it with others. After several years of my subscription, I have now been to several places in Mexico to check out possible retirement options. I also have reservations to go to Panama in the fall. I do see a lot of repetition and shallow information in the articles...but all in all, I would have never considered retiring elsewhere had I not started with International Living. I will continue to subscribe and maybe someday go to a Bootcamp.
It sounds like being able to Google the information you want makes international living a bit redundant according to what Jennifer is saying. I also wonder what was meant by her comment about \"Staying on the good side of their clients\". You obviously don't qualify or she might have been a little bit more helpful, noThere's another website that will inundate you with info and sales pitches but that does have information on France as one of their more favoured destinations. It's headed by Kathleen Peddicord and I would give you the actual website if I wasn't afraid of losing this comment. If you Google her name, I'm sure it will show up in the top 2 or 3 responses. (International Living will undoubtedly be first. Lol.) I referenced Google just to be funny. She used to be the editor of international living but now has her own thing but is often called upon as one of the top experts in overseas retirement. It's another whole onslaught of marketing Etc but because it has information on France, it might be useful for you as it is, as I said, one of their top recommendations. Hope that helps.Have you been there Whats influencing you I'm interested in Old World architecture and cafes in the street but thought to check out Portugal, Italy, and Malta as well. I wonder how soon travel will be possible.Best wishes in your adventures
I agree. I don't understand all the negativity either! I have been to a conference in Atlanta and Las Vegas, both of which were well presented with good accommodations. The people presenting most of the talks are people that actually live in the country they are talking about, and they certainly don't only tell you good things, but obviously they live there because they like the place and find more good about it than bad. I also enjoy the magazines and find them quite informative.It's not that difficult to look at real estate sites in other countries and you can find homes in many price ranges.I have found international living to be a welcome addition to my life, but for those people that don't good luck cancelling your subscription.
Step 1. Buy the magazine and figure out somewhere you think you'd like.Step 2. Get their Country manual that talks about visa, real estate, tax and where to live.Step 3. Go to one of their conferences. Talk to their guys living in the country you're interested in.Step 4. Travel there. Test it out and rent for a bit. Don't buy.Step 5. Get on their Real Estate Trend Alert product by Pathfinder International.Step 6. Move and enjoy the adventure.
I've been a subscriber for 2 years now. Love the magazine and the stories the expats living overseas cover. It seems everyone here is complaining about the marketing emails they send out. I started to get annoyed and put myself on the weekly summary email. That option is there in the unsubscribe option at the end of every email. Problem solved.
A few things bother me about IL. There should be more photos in the magazine. People respond to photographs of where they might want to live. I've noticed recently that the email postcards are starting to include more photos. Also, when IL is coming up on one of their conferences, they advertise the heck out of that particular country, like Panama, or Ecuador, or Costa Rica. I have read reviews from people who have attended the conferences and felt they really got a lot out of it, but it always seemed very expensive to me. I agree with others opinions here that blogs or threads like this are way better for learning the truth about living in different countries, and probably the best way is to visit the countries you are interested in. I would never recommend moving to a country without thoroughly researching it first.
The part of IL that feels \"scammy\" to me is when they offer specials on programs for real estate or finances or earning a living or the latest one is \"dream your retirement project\" (only 1 in 400 will qualify, give me a break). First you watch a long video where they are trying to sell their \"product\" and then they tell you the price, which is significantly reduced if you buy in TODAY! And there is no refund because the price is so low. I have watched several of these and they are no different from the thousands of other scams you see on the internet. Perhaps you will feel like you have received what you paid for. I wouldn't know because I have never bought into any of these programs.
I had a blog for many years about my numerous motorcycle tours around North America as well as our life for six years in China. I was approached by one of the IL editors who was on an exploratory trip around Asia about five years ago looking for contacts to write about Thailand, where we were then living.
Well to each his own, I have been traveling for over 35 years all over the world but only to four continents! I lived in Equador on two different periods because it was lovely, the locals are the best part of the experience along with the cost of living. I have not decided where I want to live yet. The USA is not where I plan to retire. I love the European way of life, much culture, history and architecture and awesome food, much better quality of life! So I am looking at France, Italy or Spain. So do your research....while I have read International magazine for over five years, it is what it is ....a business for profit, in that respect they will make everything seem better, you have to be realistic about anything you read in a magazine. Let the adventures begin.
There are a lot of Brits living here and Aussies, but not many Americans. They tend not to stray from their own continent for some reason. You can get a 90 day visa on entry, and just leave for a while every three months. You can also apply for a 10 year visa, where you can come and go as you please. It's called \"Malaysia My Second Home\". google it for more info.
Hi. I'm in Bali now researching places here for long term rental. Bali is still safe however precautions are necessary. Perhaps rent in a family compound or small guesthouse- like place. I plan on staying 5-6 months a year then returning to Australia for 3 months then living in Thailand for 3 months a year. Rents here are around AUD 300-500 a month for a little one bedroom cottage with no cooking facilities but with air con and perhaps a community pool. Sky's tge limit fir lycury spartnents at 1000 a week. Rents are comparable to Thailand and similar to Malaysia. My needs are basic so nothing luxurious. My friends own here in Candidasa in a resort area and have few complaints. I would rent for a few months in Sanur, Legian or Ubud and see what appeals. Just by walking around the small gangs or lanes I found many signs \"for rent\" everywhere. I don't EVER ride a motorcycle cycle. Bargain hard re rents. Good luck. 59ce067264
