Who? Why? How?

We’re here to look at who decides to live overseas, why they do, and how they accomplish it. There are probably as many reasons to live outside of your native country as there are people who do so. In my case, my husband and I realized several years ago that, if we stay here, we will never be able to afford to retire. Add to this my lifelong desire to spend significant time in another country, and we began looking at the possibilities of retiring overseas. But that’s not the only reason, not by a long shot! More

Why I Love My Kindle

Top 10 Reasons I Love my Kindle Wireless Book Reader:

  1. 1. It’s about the size of a trade paperback, so I can take it everywhere.

  2. Because it uses electronic ink instead of LED, my eyes feel as though they’re reading a real book — they don’t get tired.
  3. If I finish a book at midnight, I can have a new one practically instantly, wirelessley, from the Kindle Store. No waiting. *
  4. I can get brand-new bestsellers for a fraction of the price of the print version.
  5. I can get books that are out of print or hard to find for a fraction of the price, or even free.
  6. It has a built-in dictionary. If I don’t know a word, I just highlight the line it’s on, click the cursor, and there’s the definition.
  7. I don’t have to carry a bookmark or remember where I left off. When I go back to what I was reading, it opens to where I left off.
  8. I can highlight and make notes.
  9. I never run out of reading material, even on a long trip.
  10. In its cover, it feels like a book.

It’s also a great conversation starter. I can’t tell you how many interesting people have approached me to ask about it.
Oh — and did I mention they just dropped the price?
