Lief and I made our first international move in 1998, leaving the U.S. for Ireland. In the years since, we’ve traveled to close to 100 countries and today, we divide our time between home bases in Paris and Panama. We have a lot of first-hand experience when it comes to launching life in a new [...]

Jimmy Buffett found his island escape when he relocated to sunny, sand-fringed Key West, FL, from Nashville, TN, in the early 70s. He’d been trying to make it in Nashville’s music scene, but with his unique style that wasn’t quite country and wasn’t quite rock, he didn’t have much success. Everything changed after a busking [...]
I woke up this morning, brewed a pot of Irish breakfast tea, and, as has been my custom for decades now, sat down at my laptop to write you a letter. I want to focus your attention this week on Panama. Trouble is… I’ve been telling people about Panama for some 25 years. In fact, [...]
Portugal is the oldest country in Europe, with the same defined borders since 1139. Before that, it was part of the Umayyad Caliphate and the Roman Empire. The country is home to the oldest bookstore chain in the world, Livraria Bertrand, which opened its doors in 1732. Here, too, is one of the oldest universities [...]
It’s Not For The Reason You Might Think… One of the questions I am most frequently asked about Belize is… Is it really safe? Unlike Mexico, Guatemala, and other countries in the region, Belize has no organized crime. In Belize, no drug cartels are fighting for dominance or control… This sleepy little country seems too [...]
