At International Living, we believe firmly that you don’t have to be wealthy and well-connected to lead a more international life. You just have to know how to do it. And we’re on a mission to show you. Since 1979, we’ve been helping people live, retire, travel, invest, and prosper overseas.
The world we bring you isn’t the world you see on the nightly news. Ours is a world full of opportunity. You might choose to winter-over in a beach town in Latin America and lock in an endless summer. Or maybe you’d prefer the café culture in a little hilltop town in Europe. Then again, a luxury lifestyle in Southeast Asia could be more your speed. We’ll point you to the communities where you can live better than you do now, but spend less... show you how to get a second passport... introduce you to amazing real estate deals... teach you how to travel in style without breaking the bank... and more! Each day at International Living, we bring you the secrets, guidance, and recommendations you need to go from dreaming about a better, more interesting, more international life—to actually living one.
IL Postcards is a free daily e-letter that brings you stories from expats around the world and on-the-ground guidance about the best lifestyle, retirement, earning, and travel opportunities on the planet today. For more than 40 years, our network of far-flung expats and experts has been sharing their recommendations and guidance about the best-value places around the world to live well—beautiful, welcoming spots where you could improve your quality of life—maybe even have a housekeeper and gardener—and do it all for less than it would cost you to stay home.
We are mortgage-free half a mile from the beach...
We rent a house with ocean view in [#2 retirement haven] for €500 a month. Only a 10-minute walk from our doorstep, there are five different beaches to choose from. In the States, a property like that would be quadruple the price at least.
The climate is nearly perfect, so utilities are a fraction. Taxes are a fraction. We have full-time housekeeping/gardening help and have become very spoiled.
