The Word Is Out: Retiring Overseas Is Going Mainstream

Time To Kick Conventional To The Curb

Eight years ago this month, the first edition of my “How To Retire Overseas” book appeared on bookstore shelves.

Two weeks from now the second edition will be available, both in bookstores across the United States and online.

When my editor at Penguin Random House got in touch last year to ask if I’d be interested in producing this new edition, I was delighted.

Any writer is thrilled for any new chance to write.

However, in this case, I was particularly excited for the opportunity to overhaul the 2010 manuscript because the 2010 retire-overseas idea is old news.

What was once… even as recently as eight years ago… a fringy idea is today nearly mainstream.

In the past few weeks, I’ve been interviewed by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and Reader’s Digest. This week in New York I’ll be interviewed on live television by CNBC and others…

All with the same questions:

Why would someone want to move to a new country in retirement?

And, if someone wants to move to a new country in retirement… where should he (or she) think about going?

Word is out.

Retire overseas is a tempting, even irresistible strategy whose time has come, whose benefits have matured, and whose appeal has expanded.

It’s also easier to follow through on this idea today than ever before and easier all the time thanks to 21st century technology.

The new “How To Retire Overseas” is, indeed, new. What began as a quick revision to update prices and budgets evolved into a complete overhaul. The new book includes new destinations to consider as well as new sections on earning an income, starting a business, and raising a family overseas.

My favorite new chapter provides guidance for how to “un-retire” overseas—that is, how to organize a life that has you moving around as you like, among the places you most enjoy, with purpose… becoming connected as a real member of the communities where you’re spending time.

In 2010, I wrote a book intended for retirees. Over the past year I’ve rewritten that book to make it relevant and useful (I hope) for anyone of any age and any circumstances interested in embarking on a grand across-borders adventure.

Yes, this new book is for you if you’d like to consider your options for retiring overseas. But it’s also for you if you’re nowhere near retirement age but ready to kick conventional living to the curb.

I’ve been covering this beat for 33 years and living overseas for more than 20.

Finally… I’m no longer a fruitcake.

And neither are you for thinking about following suit.

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.
