This month we celebrate the four-year anniversary of our most elite level of Live and Invest Overseas service:

Our All Access Pass.

We don’t speak of this membership program often, as we can accommodate only a small number of members. However, every year, on the anniversary of the group’s inception, we open the doors to welcome new applicants.

The All Access Pass isn’t for everyone. As you consider, during this window of open enrollment, whether belonging to this private society might be worth your while, I thought you might appreciate hearing current members’ stories.

We contacted a few active All Access Pass members to ask if they’d mind sharing their experiences with fellow Live and Invest Overseas readers…

Member Miguel Davis-Dacio responded to say:

“Kathleen, what a lovely opportunity and timely idea to share my All Access Pass membership experience to this point.

“I am a U.S. Vietnam disabled wartime veteran intent on being an active member of the LIOS global community at this very critical moment in history. I am deeply grateful to have found LIOS when I did almost a year ago.

“The Live and Invest Overseas conferences I attended in Nevada, California, and Belize opened my mind to a new way of thinking about how to achieve my personal and my family’s goals. Suddenly the lifestyle I imagined was a real possibility.

“Now I have a plan for a secure retirement while also being of service in communities around the world. My goal is to have fun in interesting places while making a profit and then using that capital to reinvest.

“I couldn’t have done this on my own…”

Then we received this from member James Sweat Jr.:

“Kathleen, my story is boring. I have no wife, no kids, no girlfriend… I don’t even have a dog. That’s why I became an All Access Pass member. So I could have a lot of adventures and add a little excitement to my life.

“And, as you’ve asked for my feedback, I have a suggestion. If you have room on the calendar for one more conference each year, make it a cruise. Sort of a Live and Invest Overseas version of the ‘Love Boat’! See you in two weeks in Colombia.”

Great timing for your suggestion, James. We are working now on our first-ever Live and Invest Overseas cruise program. I don’t know if I can promise the full “Love Boat” experience, but we’ll do our best.

Finally, we received these words from All Access Pass member Mike Herndon:

“Kathleen, I was planning to contact you in the near future, so your email arrived at the perfect moment.

“I had hoped to have my residency fully established before writing to you, but I am still waiting to receive my work visa. My application was filed several weeks ago, and I am now in the process of adding to the application some additional documentation. So I cannot yet say I am officially a working resident of Spain… however, I am very close.

“The reason I planned to write to you is that I would like to offer to present to the group at your annual Retire Overseas Conference. I believe you’re planning to hold this year’s event in Orlando in August.

“I would be happy to appear on any panels where my experiences would be of interest to attendees considering a move similar to my relocation to Valencia, Spain. I could even host a breakout session to present an interactive narrative of my history with LIOS and how important being an All Access Pass member has been for my journey to my new life overseas.

“I’ve been following you and Lief since 2004, and the support you and your team have provided has allowed me to reinvent my life.

“With your help, I was able to identify Valencia as the best location for me as a single Baby Boomer nearing retirement. I am very excited about the opportunity to share my story with others considering making the kind of move I’ve made.

“Thanks to you and everyone in your organization who has helped to make this change in my life possible…”

P.S. What exactly is the All Access Pass?

Members are invited to join us for every Live and Invest Overseas conference on our calendar as our VIP guests… for life.

You can attend every conference free—as a VIP—and bring a guest free, too.

When you can’t be in the room with us, you can access all of the information shared during the event through our Home Conference Kits… because you receive every one of these we produce every year free, as well… again, for life.

Plus, All Access Members enjoy white glove-level concierge service from our events team, invitations to private receptions, and many other benefits and perks.

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
