When last seen, Future Expat was grumpy. Tired of living in a hotel and having to go out for every meal,… [more]
Nobody can completely take away the challenges of an overseas move. No matter how carefully you plan… [more]
With our anticipated overseas move date less than 90 days away, we’re getting down to the wire on some of our planning. One of the big issues we have to muddle through is flying with our three dogs from here to there. We’ve been poring over airline and embassy websites, and asking lots of questions [...]
This week has been characterized by some nice relaxing-with-friends time, and spinning in circles. We’ve just completed the third week in our countdown toward our Panama move, and the week was a pretty mixed bag of getting stuff done, relaxing, and frustration. You can see previous Countdown! posts here. I hope that sharing what we’re [...]
If you’re about to move abroad, you certainly don’t want to collect more doodads, tchotchkes, knicknacks and other stuff you’ll have to store or move. So what do you give a soon-to-be expat for Christmas? I thought we could join the rest of America in some Black Friday shopping, but for things that will help [...]
Guest post by Louise Wiles Accompanying partners – do they or circumstance influence their career choices?

Last week I shared our first Countdown update. Now that we’re within 90 days of our planned move to Panama, I’ll post regular updates on what we’ve accomplished (or attempted) during the week to be ready for the actual move in February.

Things have been pretty crazy around my house recently, but in a good way. My husband and I are planning to move from Florida to Panama in February, so we’re now officially within 90 days of our target date. We can’t completely nail it — yet — because we need to find a tenant for [...]
Blogging is a workable portable career for expats, requiring only some expertise, a computer and an internet connection. It can be an excellent way to fund your untethered life overseas. Before you get into the technical issues of setting up your blog, though, you need to have some sort of a plan. Because, if you’re [...]
Here at Future Expats Forum, we focus on two main topics: portable careers and what I call “prepping the move.” Prepping the move is anything you have to do to prepare for moving overseas, from getting rid of stuff you don’t want to move or store, to telling your friends and family your plans, to [...]
Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot; I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Bonfires. . . fireworks. . . November the Fifth, in Great Britain, commemorates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt in 1605 to blow up Parliament (and the king). Guy Fawkes [...]
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.
