Years ago we got an email from a reader in response to a report from Latin America Correspondent Lee Harrison on Ecuador. The reader wrote to ask where in Central America Ecuador was located. He’d been looking but couldn’t find it on a map. Ecuador, as I’m sure you realize, is not in
A trendy spot, beach or otherwise, can become trendy just because people begin to perceive it that way. Maybe a celebrity buys in a small town or a movie is filmed nearby or a reality show is shot on location…triggering the marketplace to believe there’s something cool or interesting about a place they’d previously never […]
The doctor I found was part of the health insurance plan that I had recently signed up for. He was listed as a primary care physician, but his specialty was cardiology. On my first visit for an annual checkup, the first thing the guy did was hook me up to some electrodes to check my […]
A reader wrote this week to warn us about Nicaragua’s Hospital Bautista. Recently, the guy wasn’t feeling well, so his wife took him to the Hospital Bautista in Managua. By the time they arrived, the guy had passed out. The hospital told his wife that, to admit her husband, they’d need to take her debit […]

I’m in Belize this week for my Global Asset Protection And Wealth Summit. Kathleen and I arrived in Belize City yesterday afternoon and took an in-country flight out to Cayo to visit our neem trees. When we were last in Belize, in August, we commissioned this first round of tree planting, about 100 neem trees […]
A friend living in Thailand wrote this week to tell me about a rumor going around in Chiang Mai. Word on the street is that the IRS is checking up on banks in that city to confirm that they’re FATCA-compliant. At this point, banks worldwide aren’t required to be sending account information for every account […]
After the launch of the Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference last month, a reader wrote in to ask how safe we think that country is…really. This reader’s husband couldn’t make the conference dates and, after reading the U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Nicaragua, told his wife she couldn’t attend the event on her […]
