Admin

“I’ll let my friends Bill and Jenny tell you the story of how they were able to check off their list their long-held dream of owning a resort in Belize,” writes Belize Correspondent Amma Carey in her about-to-be-published “Live and Invest in Belize Manual” (in production this week). “‘Starting a small inn in Belize has been a great adventure for my husband and me,’ explains Jenny. ‘It all started after finding our piece of paradise on the Caribbean Sea.

Admin

Phil Hahn is tempting those of us convened in the meeting rooms of the Ft. George Hotel in Belize City right now with photos of the piece of property he’s begun developing in the Cayo District of this country. Carmelita is crossed by a river and a nature-lover’s delight. This is lush hill country, where you spend your time on horseback, on the river, hiking the hills, exploring the rain forest, and discovering the caves and the Mayan ruins.  As Phil explains, “This is counter-largesse.” Just what the doctor ordered these days. At Carmelita, residents will grow their own food … Continue reading Riverfront Idyll For As Little As US$20,000

Utter Peace, Quiet, And Escape

Admin

“Paul and I try to hang out with locals rather than the tourists wherever we travel,”writes Intrepid Correspondent Vicki Terhorst. “So, when we were ready for some beach time during our recent stay in Malaysia, we headed for Pangkor Island, a west coast island popular among Malays. “We left our hotel in nearby Taiping early in the morning, while it was still cool, to catch the first (and maybe only) bus headed toward the port town of Lumut. You can also reach Lumut on comfortable, first-class, air-conditioned buses from Kuala Lumpur or Ipoh. “Lumut’s simple beauty convinced us to stay … Continue reading Utter Peace, Quiet, And Escape

Make Your Own Simple, Sweet Reality In Belize

Admin

Mick Fleming is a larger-than-life character, a Brit who, more than 30 years ago, with US$600 in his pocket, made his way to Belize City, where he met a guy in a bar who owned a piece of land in the jungle he was interested in selling. Mick bought, thinking he’d try his luck as a farmer. The farming was tough going, but, in time, Mick identified another opportunity. Travelers were beginning to find their way to this remote region. They’d happen upon Mick and ask if he had a place where they could spend the night. Mick built a … Continue reading Make Your Own Simple, Sweet Reality In Belize

Isle of Man Bay Festival Triumphs

Admin

With the massive success of the recent Isle of Man Bay Festival, organisers have confirmed it will be back in 2011. Over 25,000 people attended the festival over the three days, with the Sunday afternoon ‘X-Factor meets Britain’s Got Talent’ show pulling in a capacity crowd of almost 8,000 people. Based on police estimates, that is a bigger crowd than the one that descended on the prom for the busiest night of the TT entertainment. The acts, which included a surprise performance from UK chart top-ten artist DJ Ironik, were a hit with the local crowd. Many of them expressed … Continue reading Isle of Man Bay Festival Triumphs

Despre noul iPhone 4G de la un fan iPhone (via Orange UK)

Admin

Da, sunt un fan iPhone. Nu pot spune exact de ce dar este telefonul meu preferat. Tocmai am pus mana pe un 4G de la Orange (UK) si l-am testat gandindu-ma la ce motive as putea avea sa nu-mi upgradez iPhone-ul meu. Modelul nou promite sa imbunatateasca fragilitatea si viata scurta a bateriei, aspecte care au fost reclamate la iPhone 3GS. Cu o grosime de 9.3 mm, noul telefon este foarte robust, avand panouri de sticla si o portiune care … pare de otel … rezistent, nu gluma. Are o optiune interesanta “Face Time video calling” pe care o pot … Continue reading Despre noul iPhone 4G de la un fan iPhone (via Orange UK)

Once Crazy, Now Genius…Just Ask Brian

Admin

In the month since my new “How To Retire Overseas” book was published, I’ve been interviewed by a dozen reporters and editors intending to review the book in their respective media. A common theme has emerged: Americans are ready to make a move. They want out. They’ve had it with health care “reform,” rising taxes, and an uncertain future. They want to find a way to hold on to the assets they’ve worked their whole lives to accumulate. More than any generation of retirees that has preceded them, they’re ready to take action to take control. They’re even ready to … Continue reading Once Crazy, Now Genius…Just Ask Brian

Springtime In The Jurançon…French Country Living At Its Best

Admin

“Sometimes, when the sun shines, you just have to drop everything and get outside!” writes France Correspondent Lucy Culpepper. “This morning I dropped the children at school, then set off on my road bike into the Jurançon countryside in the southwest of France. This is rolling wine country. The vine growers use traditional grapes, such as Lauzet, Petit and Grand Mansengs, and Courbu. The vines are just starting to turn from woody looking sticks to the leafy boughs that will soon bear the fruit for both the golden sweet and the dry clear green Jurançon wines. “Wine has been grown … Continue reading Springtime In The Jurançon…French Country Living At Its Best

From High Stress In The UK To The Bliss Of French Country Living–One Family’s Retire Overseas Adventure

Admin

In 2006, two generations of the Mulcare family decided to leap off the work treadmill in the UK and follow their dream of living, working, and retiring in France. Until this point, the younger generation–James Mulcare, his wife Ruth, and James’ sister Louise–were all working in full-time stressful jobs in Britain. James was a real estate asset and fund manager; Ruth was a PR consultant, and Louise was a sales manager with Mercedes Benz. James and Louise’s parents had just retired from a successful law practice and bed-and-breakfast business. It was the older generation that launched the search for a … Continue reading From High Stress In The UK To The Bliss Of French Country Living–One Family’s Retire Overseas Adventure

How To Earn Guaranteed Yields Of Up To 22% Per Year…

Admin

Last month, I alerted you to an opportunity to invest in the Founder’s Guild memberships being made available at Carmelita in Belize. This was an appealing opportunity, evidenced by the fact that the developer at Carmelita, friend Phil Hahn, has closed out all the packages available (to Live and Invest Overseas Marketwatch members). The interest in these investment packages was so great that Phil has decided to make additional packages available. Specifically, Phil has launched four additional US$50,000 packages this week. In addition, he has created a new level of investment opportunity and is making four US$75,000 packages available, as … Continue reading How To Earn Guaranteed Yields Of Up To 22% Per Year…

Life As Art–Retirement In The Enchanted Land Of Bali

Admin

“From the comfort of your veranda,” writes Asia Correspondent Wendy Justice, “you can see the people of the neighboring village tending to the irrigated paddies of bright-green rice. A gentle breeze making its way down from the distant mountains softly touches into life the shimmering greens of a hundred species of plant life. “You eye the ducks swimming in the irrigation canals and tilt your ear slightly toward the sounds of happy laughter, and other-worldly gamelan music softly carries from the banjar community hall in the distance. “Taking a deep breath, you sigh with contentment. The scent of flowers surrounds … Continue reading Life As Art–Retirement In The Enchanted Land Of Bali
