A warm, sunny climate… fresh, healthy food… a welcoming expat community… friendly, helpful locals… lots to keep you entertained, from sailing to cycling to concerts, galleries, and more… Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece—they’re all full of beautiful beaches and gorgeous, culturally rich historic cities and towns. They offer a high quality of life—yet the cost of living can be surprisingly low. For less than $3,000 a month, a couple can live rich on a middle-class budget. With $4,000 to $5,000 a month, you could live large. In April, we’d like to show you—in person.

Join our team of expats and experts gathering at a beachside resort on Portugal’s Algarve coast for three power-packed days to share advice, insights, and recommendations so you have the inside scoop on where—and how—to do it. There’s no more efficient—or enjoyable—way to jump-start your own European adventure.

You’ll hear about… Portugal is Europe’s best-kept, best-value secret today—with first-world living for less. (Our correspondent there said her expenses fell to between one-third and one-fourth from what they were in the U.S.) A couple can easily live in a comfortable apartment, have funds for entertainment in addition to necessities, for as little as $2,200 a month. In beautiful Porto, for instance, one-bedroom rentals in town list from $700.

Spain hands you sophistication, charm, comfort. Imagine lingering into the wee hours over drinks in color-splashed cities… savoring scrumptious paella on a warm summer afternoon, the Mediterranean sparkling in the background… watching the moonlight play off the high walls of the thousand-year-old Alhambra… or sitting on a balcony in Seville overlooking the largest Gothic church in the world, sipping a chilled glass of cava… A couple can retire comfortably in all sorts of Spanish communities for as little as $2,390 a month. Italy is well worth your attention. There you’ll find centuries-old olive groves… dramatic cliffs rising above the turquoise sea… time burnished towns with ornate baroque architecture… and more.

In this country’s up-and-coming region, you’ll find around 500 miles of coast lined with some of Italy’s best beaches, enchanting countryside, and small towns and villages where you can snag historic properties that are move-in ready from $96,000.

Then there’s France. You might be surprised at how affordable life there can be as well. Even in the well-known Riviera you can winter for $3,200 a month. In one belle époque city on the Mediterranean, for instance, you can rent a place with a water view from $1,000 a month. After all, in France (and elsewhere in Europe), the average Joe doesn’t make a whole lot of money. But he expects to eat well, dine out, have access to good affordable healthcare, and enjoy excellent cultural offerings. It’s just what the expectation is. And France delivers. You can live well for $2,083–$2,483 a month, all in. If you’re intrigued by Europe and its history… its romance and culture… then you are going to love this conference.

Because we’ll connect you directly to the people you need to know, we’ll answer every last question you have (including the ones you haven’t thought of yet), and we’ll also give you a taste of life across the pond.
