[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’re an Overseas Living Letter subscriber, you likely won’t be reading this… I expect instead your head is buried in the hot-off-the-presses January issue of our flagship monthly publication which reveals the destinations that claimed a coveted spot on our 2024 Overseas Retirement Index.
That’s understandable.
After all, this index is the culmination of weeks of meetings and interviews, months of data gathering and number crunching, and years of scouting trips and lived expat experience.
It details our selection of the world’s very best places to retire overseas in 2024. Beautiful, welcoming, and safe havens that offer compelling lifestyle opportunities for those with an eye on an overseas move.
In short, it’s a big deal.
There are a few key elements that set this index apart from any other…
One is its precision.
Here at Live And Invest Overseas, we know, better than anyone, that the world is packed with incredible destinations that offer both a budget saving and a lifestyle upgrade.
We also know that, in some ways, that’s the problem.
Granted, as problems go it might be the best kind to have, but there’s no escaping the fact that an entire world of choices can be an overwhelming prospect.
That’s why we don’t just point to a bunch of countries and say, ‘go there’…
Instead, we narrow down, with pinpoint accuracy, specific in-country locales waiting to welcome newcomers. Places where crime is as close to non-existent as can be. Where you don’t need to learn a new language if you don’t wish to.
Where the health care is top-notch, the streets are walkable, the Wi-Fi is fast, and the living is easy.
The other standout feature of our index is that it’s compiled by expats. Those that have already taken the leap into a new life overseas and know how best to smooth the path for you.
Among them is LIOS Editorial Director Sophia Titley, the keystone of this yearly endeavor. A long-time expat, Sophia has lived in Spain, Colombia, and Panama. Today, she calls London home. It’s proven a perfect jumping off point for her recent scouting trips to Portugal, Montenegro, Greece, and beyond.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTVCY3BfcG9wdXAlMjBkaXNwbGF5JTNEJTIyaW5saW5lJTIyJTIwc3R5bGVfaWQlM0QlMjI4NzU1MiUyMiUyMHN0ZXBfaWQlMjAlM0QlMjAlMjIxJTIyJTVEJTVCJTJGY3BfcG9wdXAlNUQ=[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Then there’s Europe Senior Editor Kat Kalashian…
Kat has been roaming the globe for some three decades and, having tried out expat life in Ireland and Panama, now calls France home. From her base of operations there, she identifies the best opportunities the Old World has to offer and shares her invaluable insider insights from the perspective of an American in Paris.
A continent away, is our Latin America Editor Lee Harrison. Lee took early retirement aged just 49 and in the years since he’s lived in Ecuador, Uruguay, and Colombia, buying and selling property along the way. Today, Lee calls Mazatlán, Mexico, home but globetrotting is a hard habit to break and his quest for opportunities for fun and profit the world over continues.
Naturally, overseeing the entire Overseas Retirement Index project is LIOS Founding Publisher Kathleen Peddicord and Offshoring Guru Lief Simon.
Experts in their field, they don’t just talk the talk, they truly walk the walk.
Together, Kathleen and Lief have traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 24, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated their children in 4.
Today, they divide their time between Paris and Panama but tomorrow, they, along with Sophia, Kat, and Lee are gathering together online for a very special event… and you’re invited.
During an hour-long webinar, they’ll break down the index, reveal how the winning destinations were chosen, and explain how you can use this incomparable move overseas tool to identify the perfect place in which to begin your own overseas adventure.
They’ll also be on hand to take any questions you may have, so get them ready!
Looking forward to it.
Sincerely,
Victoria Harmer
