Why Our Next Overseas Adventure Is Taking Us To The Orient

Next Stop: Shanghai

Like most everyone else in Paris, we’ve decamped.

Unlike most others, though, we have not traveled south to the French countryside or the Mediterranean coast for our July and August holidays… but westward across the Pond.

Lief and I have spent the past few weeks in Panama… laying low and hanging out at the beach with family and friends at Los Islotes.

This week we’re back at it in our Live and Invest Overseas offices in Panama City… meeting with writers and editors in advance of the launch of our most important new service since… well, since the launch of Live and Invest Overseas itself a decade ago. More on this soon.

Meantime, we’re focused on another, more personal launch.

Next month, our son will begin his higher-education studies as a freshman at NYU Shanghai.

This weekend we’re traveling with him to China to install him in his Shanghai dorm and to help him prepare for pre-semester orientation programs… including intensive lessons in Mandarin.

After spending a decade in the Old World (first Ireland and then Paris)… and then a decade in the New World (establishing our Panama HQ)… now a chance to discover and explore the Orient…

Three decades ago I had reason to travel to Hong Kong, China, and Macau… but I have not been back since.

I’m thinking a few things may have changed in this part of the world over the past 30 years. Now, thanks to our son, I have a new reason to return and see for myself.

As a mother, I’m both mildly panicked at the thought of my youngest child going so far from home on his own (I won’t be able to pop by his dorm room for surprise visits on weekends… much to his disappointment, I’m sure)… and immensely excited by the opportunity he’s embracing.

When I moved from Baltimore, Maryland, to Waterford, Ireland, some 20 years ago I couldn’t have imagined where my new life overseas would lead.

Today, I’m on the edge of my seat to find out where my son’s adventures overseas will take him next.

And us along with him for the ride.

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.
