World’s Best Choices For 2013

Our Panama City-based editorial team spent time this week brainstorming and planning for 2013.

First development from these meetings: We’re going to publish our first-ever World’s Top Retirement Havens Index early in 2013, comparing, contrasting, and quantifying the world’s top 36 overseas retirement havens. Research for this is under way. Our crackerjack in-house team of editors is coordinating with correspondents the world over to detail the cost of living, cost of renting, cost of health insurance, cost and standard of medical care, cost and options for foreign residency, climate, and much more for each of the top havens we’ve identified.

This is a mammoth undertaking, the complete fruits of which will be featured in a special issue of our Overseas Retirement Letter. We’ll share parts of this important study in these daily dispatches, as well. Watch this space.

Second development from last week’s editorial sessions: Our picks for your best choices in 2013, depending what you’re looking to do. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Cheapest Place To Retire Well: Cuenca, Ecuador
  • Also Super-cheap: Granada, Nicaragua
  • Super-cheap And More Exotic: Chiang Mai, Thailand; Nha Trang, Vietnam; Cebu, Philippines
  • Mild Weather Year-round: Medellin, Colombia; Cuenca, Ecuador
  • Four Mild Seasons: Montevideo, Uruguay
  • World’s Best City Lifestyle: Paris
  • Best Place To Start A Web-based Business: Panama
  • Best Place To Open An Offshore Bank Account: Belize
  • Best Places To Relocate With School-aged Children: Panama City, Panama; Paris; Montevideo, Uruguay; Galway, Ireland
  • Best Places To Escape The World: New Zealand and Belize
  • Luxury Beach Retirement On A Budget: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
  • Best Caribbean Lifestyle Bargain: Samana, Dominican Republic
  • Easiest Places To Establish Foreign Residency: Panama, Belize, Nicaragua, Uruguay
  • Easiest Places In Asia To Establish Foreign Residency: Malaysia and the Philippines
  • Best Places To Retire With Expat Community Support: Ambergris Caye, Belize; Boquete and Coronado, Panama; Puerto Vallarta and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
  • Best Places To Retire If Budget Is No Object: Paris; Lake Como, Italy
  • Best Place To Pursue A “Resilient Lifestyle”: Belize

More information on these destinations can be found here.

In addition, we’ve scheduled three big events for 2013: a general getting-started Retire Overseas event in the United States that will cover the world’s best options across regions; and a Live and Invest in Asia event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

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.
