          How To Move To A Different Country The Right Way

          Maybe You Can’t Meet Me In Person Right Now—But Here’s The Next Best Thing

          No matter where you’re dreaming of reinventing your life overseas, the key to success is a network of support.

          I’m talking about on-the-ground experts… and other expats already living the life you’re imagining for yourself.

          Access to that world is the difference between an adventure filled with discovery and delight…

          And days of frustration and challenge.

          After more than 35 years covering this live- and retire-overseas beat… and more than 22 years living as an expat myself—raising my family and building businesses across borders—I know this to be true.

          The right connections are the secret sauce.

          Now, today, for the first time, I’m making all of my personal connections available to you.

          My team and I have spent the past year conceiving a new program that allows access to my complete far-flung network of colleagues, advisors, and friends.

          We’re calling it Overseas Living Unlimited.

          It’s your chance to gain unlimited access to all the help you need to launch your new life overseas… faster and with confidence.

          Having this wealth of information at your fingertips… and my team on your side… means the difference between feeling lost and lonely and screaming into your pillow each night during your first weeks and months on the ground in a foreign country (trust me, I’ve been there)…

          And, instead, hitting the ground running, ready for whatever comes your way… so you’re free to relax and enjoy your new dream life.

          Specifically, here’s what my team and I have put together…

          Overseas Living Unlimited Benefit #1:

          Overseas Living Clubhouse—Connect With Your Tribe

          Right now, it’s harder than it’s been in our lifetimes to get out and connect in person with our fellows.

          At the same time, if you’re dreaming of a new life in a new country, you need the support of like-minded folks more than ever.

          How can you access your tribe while we’re all working so hard to keep our distance?

          By joining me and my team in our Overseas Living Clubhouse.

          In this private Facebook forum, you’ll be able to connect and speak directly with fellow Overseas Living Unlimited members… as well as our entire Live and Invest Overseas crew.

          We’re all there… every day… sharing real-life tales of adventure and, yes, of woe, too.

          Because we can all learn as much from the hardships of chasing our dreams across the globe as we can from our stories of success.

          Have an idea you’d like to bounce off someone who’s maybe already considered something similar?

          Wondering how one destination compares with another?

          Needing to know the real cost of living in the places at the top of your wish list… so you can feel comfortable you could actually afford them?

          Put your questions to my team… and your fellow Overseas Living Unlimited members. They’re online every day… standing by to connect in real time.

          This private virtual Clubhouse is the hub of my new community. Here, overseas daydreamers with a purpose can huddle for support, direction, and personal guidance. It’s a comfortable setting where peace of mind and enjoyment smooth away any uncertainty and apprehension you may be feeling about your move.

          The Clubhouse is open 24/7. We’re here around the clock, ready for you to tell us your own story… raise your concerns… ask your questions… post your own pictures and videos… and make new friends…

          I check in regularly myself… and hope to meet you there.

          Our private virtual Clubhouse provides a unique and timely opportunity to connect with those whose fellowship you can most benefit from as you prepare for and even after you’ve made your move… at a time when sitting down together in an actual Clubhouse just isn’t feasible.

          After the pandemic restrictions have passed, our private virtual Clubhouse will carry on, of course… and will be complemented by real-life, in-person meet-ups.

          Which brings me to Benefit #2 of my new program…

          Overseas Living Unlimited Membership Benefit #2:

          Access To Private Members-Only Functions

          As soon as the global situation allows, we here at Live and Invest Overseas will be among the first returning to the skies.

          We can’t wait to get back out into this great big beautiful world of ours.

          Discovery and adventure await still around every corner, we know…

          And every journey is much the richer for the company you enjoy along the way.

          That’s why we’ll be inviting members of my new Overseas Living Unlimited to join us for private meetings at least three times a year… in some of our favorite locales around the world.

          And we’ll welcome members, as well, anytime, in our offices in Panama City and Paris.

          Overseas Living Unlimited is about access. As a member, you’ll enjoy direct access to me and my team every way we can manage… including, when global circumstances allow, in person.

          Which brings me to another benefit of membership…

          Overseas Living Unlimited Membership Benefit #3:

          A Standing US$100 Conference Registration Discount

          Come join us for any (or every!) one of our conferences… and you’ll attend as a VIP… but save US$100 on the cost of registration.

          I’ve been hosting conferences for people interested in living or retiring overseas for more than 35 years.

          I know how valuable these occasions are for the attendees, no matter at what stage of the journey you find yourself.

          Just beginning to consider the great big idea of launching a new life for yourself somewhere sun-drenched and budget-friendly and feeling tipsy from all the options? Or maybe you already know where you’d like to go but needing help with the logistics and practicalities.

          Or maybe you’ve already made your move and would like to share your story…

          The conferences we host are the number-one option for making the connections you seek in every case.

          By the time you’re only a couple of sessions and a few conversations into one of our conferences, you’ll feel your excitement growing and your confidence building.

          All the folks in the room with you share your dreams… and many have already made their moves. They’ve done it… and, yes, you can do this, too!

          OK… there’s one more big benefit of membership in my new Overseas Living Unlimited group that I want to bring to your attention…

          Overseas Living Unlimited Benefit #4:

          Access To My Private Rolodex Of Live And Invest Overseas Experts

          Over the more than three-and-a-half decades I’ve been living, investing, and doing business around the world, I’ve met a lot of people in a lot of places…

          Not all of whom I’d recommend.

          Now, though, for the first time ever, I’m allowing access to the network of advisors and friends I’ve come to count on personally to have my back and my best interests at heart as I continue to spend time and money overseas.

          I’ve compiled the contact details for all of my top resources worldwide into a Little Black Book.

          Undertaking a renovation in Paris?

          Considering residency in Portugal?

          Need to wire funds for the purchase of property in Colombia?

          Looking to build a house in Belize?

          I know just the guy (or gal) who can help.

          And not only with those things… but with just about anything else you might be dreaming of doing in any of the places around the world we recommend you think about living or investing overseas.

          And, if you’re looking for a specific kind of contact in a particular part of the world you don’t see represented in my Little Black Book, as an Overseas Living Unlimited member, you can reach out anytime. Again, I know lots of people. And if I don’t know someone I feel comfortable recommending who fits the description of your search criteria, I’d bet I know someone to ask who does.

          Members of my new Overseas Living Unlimited group enjoy many other benefits, as well, including…

          • A subscription to my Overseas Living Letter, including the special bumper issue given over each year to our Annual Overseas Retirement Index…
          • Private access to live monthly video calls with expats currently living in the world’s top places to call home…
          • Instant access to my entire library of Overseas Haven Reports—that’s more than 100 in-depth resources detailing everything you need to know about living or retiring in Ambergris Caye, Belize… Lisbon, Portugal… Abruzzo, Italy… Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic… Da Lat, Vietnam… Occitainie, France… Mazatlán, Mexico… Valencia, Spain… Chiang Mai, Thailand… and on and on and on and on…
          • A 20% discount off every Live and Invest Overseas purchase—which you can bundle with any other current discount or sale offer—even with half-price discounts…

          Again, though, the primary agenda and the overarching benefit of becoming a member of my new Overseas Living Unlimited group is access.

          Access to me… to my entire far-flung team… to my personal network of support and advisors… and, perhaps most important of all, to your fellow Overseas Living Unlimited members.

          We’re all—the whole world of us—going through a tough time right now. And we may not be able to be out and about exploring as we might like.

          But we can be connected with like-minded fellows… and we can be pushing ahead with our plans for a new and better life somewhere safe, sunny, welcoming, and adventure-filled.

          Please don’t put your dreams on hold. Go now… while you’re able. We’ve got your back.

          You’ve got this. And we’ve got you.

          You can access more details about my new Overseas Living Unlimited group here.
