Internationalization Insights

I meet with Andy, who has established a learning center for children of the expat surfer community of El Zonte in El Salvador. We discuss the shifts in expat schooling needs and behavior, and why new education solutions are needed for itinerant families.

I join Luigi, my Riviera Maya real estate agent, to take a look at how expat families can live an affordable and comfortable life in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We explore the amenities available inside gated communities as well as hospitals and schools for children. We also discuss why many Russians, Central Asians and Canadians are moving to Mexico to take advantage of weather, affordability and interesting residency/citizenship pathways.

I discuss a handful of countries where you can easily rotate your crypto wealth into real estate investments, and where we have trusted partner agents who can help you with the process.

Our Sicily real estate agent Shalise shows us around Southeast Sicily, in the Ragusa area. We explore historical properties and houses that need renovation, and do all the return on investment calculations.

I join my Medellin-based lawyer Alan to discuss the benefits of creating a company structure in Colombia. Alan explains how setting up a company in Colombia can lead to residency in Colombia for you, and also offer interesting arbitrage on offshore talent.

I bought East Africa’s highest residential penthouse in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya’s premium Westlands neighborhood. Along with my real estate agent Pratik and representatives of the Chinese developer behind the project, we detail why Nairobi is growing as the primary business hub of Africa. We explain why Chinese-built real estate is improving in quality, and assess why even after factoring in the risks, this purchase represents a unique asset with solid value.
