FROM THE EDITOR
Shake Up Your Life… And Create a New One Abroad
Three years ago, “digital nomads” were a rare breed. Right up there with space aliens and supermodels.
I recall multiple conversations with a pre-COVID employer, begging to work from “home.” How about three days a week? One…? Anything to shake up my cubicle existence and live.
Fast forward to today, and even those of us with lackluster cheekbones can embrace a more portable life. Yet now, for many remote workers, the new daydream is a slower pace and $2 eggs.
At International Living, we know that’s within reach… and we’re helping you make a plan.
If you’re joining us at IL for the first time, a heartfelt welcome. You may not believe it yet, but your life is about to change. It’s impossible not to be inspired by the stories in these pages…
By the intrepid travelers who, like Glenda, took to the road in search of a low-stress existence, or one that didn’t involve coworkers cornering her in the bathroom. (Hint: She landed in this year’s top retirement haven.)
Or take Bekah and Karen, whose profound attachments to Costa Rica and Syros—places they loved in their youth—drew them back as adults to much more meaningful lives… Or the three convention-defying Americans living in exquisite expat locales you may never have heard of.
We haven’t forgotten the practical stuff you’ve been asking about, either… including how to travel with pets in Europe… How to (legally) stash cash overseas… And how to get free accommodations abroad.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Be sure not to miss Jeff Opdyke’s take on the future of bitcoin. Even if you’ve no intention of investing in cryptos, you’ll come away understanding what all the fuss is about. And why global citizens should pay attention…
