Hi there, I see you found us!

Jennifer Stevens here… Executive Editor of International Living.

I had hoped you might make it to this page.

Because we built it for people just like you.

People like Jim S., who moved to a small town on the Pacific Coast… and traded his cold, wet winters for 76 degrees year round …

Jim also cut nearly $5,000 off his tax bill (totally legally)… lost 50 pounds… and saw his blood pressure and A1C levels so improved that his American doctor was downright puzzled when he came back for a check up a year later… she had no choice but to tell him the he could stop taking one of his diabetes meds entirely!

Since International Living was founded in 1979, we’ve heard scores of stories like this…

For example, how many truck drivers do you know with a maid, a gardener, and a house in a fashionable mountain retreat?

Well that’s what Florida truck driver Warren S. traded in the cab of his tractor trailer for when he moved to the “Aspen of the Northern Andes”…

Today Warren has a yard full of fruit trees (no zoning laws against that here)… no longer needs to work… and just like Jim has seen amazing changes to his health.

Says Warren:

“If I had stayed in the US, I’d be dead by now. I was 140 pounds heavier…I was on seven different medications and now I’m down to one. I’m in better shape than I have been in years.”

After his divorce, Patrick D. was badly in need of a fresh start. As an American with Irish heritage, he had always dreamed of opening up an Irish pub somewhere.

Not that he had any experience in the service industry… save for a short stint as a part-time bar tender in college.

But in the town of Medellin – today one of the most prosperous cities in the south western hemisphere – he came across a bar for sale with a liquor license. In the US, buying something like that would have probably turned out to be an expensive disaster… he’d probably still be waiting for approval from the city…

Not so in Medellin… When we visited “Patrick’s Irish Pub” during football season, we found it packed with NFL jerseys and cheering… like stepping into a room of old friends…

Says Patrick:

“How many people say, ‘I have a dream to own a bar?’ Well I actually did it.”

These men weren’t lucky (though to their friends up back home it probably seems that way). They weren’t rich (though they live like it). They weren’t well connected (though they’re VIPs where they live now).

All they did was opt for another path in life…one you won’t hear from your accountant, your congressman or the mainstream media.

Today, dear reader, I’d like to give you a chance to “dip your toes” into our award winning work… including immediate digital access to our best content… with an International Living membership.
