It’s about finding places that fuel your creativity, stretch your budget, and maybe make you question why you ever thought you needed to live where everyone else does. I’m writing this from my temporary new base at Cerritos Beach, Mexico. So I thought I’d …
Everywhere you look, people are labeling yet another country as the “next Portugal.” But what if the next Portugal for you is… Portugal? The country that some refer to as “Little California” remains one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for those seeking residency, offering multiple visa pathways to suit different circumstances and goals. It’s true …
Picture this: You’re answering emails while sipping locally-grown coffee on your terrace, surrounded by mist-covered mountains and the kind of silence that actually lets you think. No traffic.

Coronado, in Panama’s western province, has quietly transformed from a wealthy Panamanian weekend retreat into something far more interesting. It’s now a thriving hub for international professionals seeking the perfect blend of work life and …
I vividly remember the two weeks I spent in Ojochal in February of 2018. Maybe it was the 22-mile stretch of stunning beaches known as Costa Ballena, punctuated by the giant rock and sand formation that not only has the distinct shape of a whale’s tail, but is located in the exact spot where hundreds …
I’d been all over Costa Rica, but the Nicoya Peninsula had remained under my radar. That changed when I heeded some frequently heard advice from fellow travelers: You’ve got to check out Nosara.

The media narrative says that successful entrepreneurs are hoodie-wearing kids in their 20s, but we know that’s false. It also says you need to be based in tech hubs like San Francisco, Austin, or Miami to succeed. Also false. I’m living proof of that.
