“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” intoned Oz, the Great and Powerful after Toto disclosed his hiding place. That’s what website hackers want you to do, too — pay no attention. If you’re blogging as a way to support your overseas business and lifestyle — in fact, if you’re doing anything online [...]
Early in my blogging career, I joined ProBlogger Darren Rowse and thousands of other bloggers and wannabes. “Give me 31 Days and I’ll Give You a Better Blog,” Darren promised. Actually, he didn’t just promise a better blog, but a dramatically better one! For 31 days I read his information and instructions, did the assigned [...]
In my recent scouting trip to Panama, my Spanish language skills were tested to the max. Now, I’ll be the first to admit it’s not a high hurdle. I figure my Spanish is at about the level of a bright two-year old’s. All my verbs are present tense and my vocabulary is severely limited. Think, [...]
Earlier today, a reader asked me “So, how was your scouting trip to Panama? Could you see yourself living there?” Our recent trip to Panama was supposed to answer two questions for us: Can we see ourselves living in Panama? If yes, do we prefer the David or Las Tablas areas?

Recently I paid some serious money to sit in a room for three days in a foreign city. Over the course of the three days, I: listened to more than 36 speakers on as many subjects attended two cocktail parties met dozens of people from all over the US and Canada, as well as Cyprus [...]
Here in Las Tablas, Panama, a pleasant breeze blows through town during most of the day. We saw some rain yesterday morning for a few hours, but the afternoon was sunny with bright blue skies. The sun is hot, but overall we’re finding the temperatures here much more tolerable than David. Before I get into [...]
I’m sitting outside trying to catch a breeze in the sultry evening heat of David, Panama. The second (or maybe third, depending on who you ask) largest city in Panama, David is the shopping town of Chiriqui Province on the western end of the country. My husband and I traveled here from Panama City after [...]
If you're one of the 80% of readers who will have to earn a living overseas, this book's for you!
There’s a ton of information about different regions, countries and cities of the world. There’s lots of investment advice and information about protecting your wealth.
What I haven’t found is basic information on how to accomplish your overseas move, and how to support yourself once you arrive.
