From remote and relatively unknown havens like Nicaragua to well-traveled areas in Italy, How to Retire Overseas is the ultimate guide to retiring abroad. Kathleen has traveled to more than 70 countries, invested in real estate in 24, established businesses in 7, and renovated properties in 6. She has written innumerable books, reports, and essays on why and how you might want to do the same, and she has appeared often at conferences (including the AARP National Convention) and on television and radio detailing the opportunities for living, retiring, and investing around the world.
