How to lose all your money in government bonds
Dateline: Prizren, Kosovo When asked the secret to becoming a millionaire, Virgin founder Richard Branson once quipped, “start as a billionaire and buy an airline”.

The cost of patriotism: examples of nationalism in Europe
Dateline: Skopje, Macedonia Skopje’s city center is half Caesar’s Palace, half Turkish bazaar. The country, which declared independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991, has been undergoing an ambitious campaign called “Skopje 2014”, in which giant monuments have been erected all throughout the cobblestone streets of the city center. These monuments, which include statues, fountains, […]
Should you avoid these four international investing mistakes?
Dateline: Skopje, Macedonia Economic growth here in Macedonia has floundered since the global recession as the country grapples with the issues surrounding it in Europe.

Lessons from Hungary on the coming economic collapse
Dateline: Budapest, Hungary Having been all over western and central Europe – save Slovenia and the microstate of San Marino – I’m convinced after just one day that Budapest is easily the most beautiful city in Europe.

Cheap Investments in Europe outside of The Eurozone
When you compare two famous European cities, Bratislava and nearby Vienna, in many ways, the two cities, the world’s closest two national capitals, are worlds apart. Bratislava has been the butt of jokes for years, while Vienna is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. However, while we put Bratislava in the […]
Political dynasties: evidence of the freedom you don’t have
Dateline: Prague, Czech Republic As with most of Europe, the modern-day Czech Republic is no stranger to its share of historic political dynasties.

The five worst cases of hyperinflation in world history
We’ve talked about the little-discussed early American hyperinflation (and the current threats of dollar collapse). We’ve talked about Argentina’s maddening capital controls and their effect on sky-high inflation rates. Neither of those countries, however, can hold a candle to some of the worst cases of hyperinflation in modern history. You’ve seen photos of Germans sweeping worthless […]
British offshore bank account holders threatened with jail
Dateline: Wroclaw, Poland For years, Americans have had all the fun. The US government has been the most aggressive, bar none, in going after tax evaders who put money in offshore bank accounts. And in the process, they’ve created laws like FATCA to make it harder to citizens to bank offshore legally. They’re even responsible […]

Dateline: Warsaw, Poland How do you know the economy is bad? When you can’t use hardbodies to sell sex to coeds.

Do Anonymous and Numbered Offshore Bank Accounts Exist?
Last Updated July 25, 2020 Dateline: Helsinki, Finland Who would have thought that bankrupt governments would get so many benefits out of drug dealing, terrorism, and money laundering?

Is Economic Freedom in Estonia Greater Than in the United States?
Estonia may not be the first country you think about in terms of free market economies, yet the country has a lot to offer entrepreneurs. Best of all, it’s still on the rise.

Are expats who live overseas required to sign up for Obamacare?
Dateline: Tartu, Estonia As a perpetual traveler, medical insurance can be a touchy subject. Sure, it’s easy to obtain health insurance as an expat, or even someone with no permanent address as is my case.

Canada shuts Immigrant Investor Program, bails on real estate owners
Dateline: Sigulda, Latvia If you’re a property owner or real estate agent in Vancouver or Toronto, you just got screwed.

Getting Second Residency in Latvia | Real Estate or Business
Dateline: Riga, Latvia As they say: you snooze, you lose. Truer words cannot be spoken when it comes to international diversification and the topics we discuss here.

Investing in Lithuania real estate: a Euro appreciation play?
Dateline: Klaipeda, Lithuania Earlier this year, Latvia — Lithuania’s Baltic state neighbor to the north — gave up the Latvian lat and adopted the common Euro currency. Normally, I’m not a big fan of unions or government alliances. I want governments to be as small and splintered as possible — forced to compete with each […]
The 5 Best Countries to be Born in for 2014
Our sense of nationalism makes us think that, wherever it was we were born, that place is “the best”. Of course, statistically, only one place can be the best. We can let our emotions color our judgment of a place, even if we’ve never been anywhere else. It is this blind allegiance to one country […]
How to open an offshore bank account with only $500
Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania I have to admit, living smack in the middle of Old Town Vilnius has put me in an excellent mood during my stay here.

“I don’t know which is better: the EU or the Soviet Union”
Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania “I don’t know which is better: the European Union, or the Soviet Union.” So said a friend of mine here in Vilnius the other day as we discussed the latest goings-on in Ukraine and the Lithuanian fear of Vladimir Putin. As much as my friend is rattled by Russia’s long-awaited invasion of […]
Tulum: the next big real estate investment in Mexico
Dateline: Merida, Mexico The flight from Mexico City was about as good as one can get.

American fiat currency made them patriotic… and broke
Dateline: San Diego, California Near the height of the Roman Empire, consul Lucius Cassius was considered one of the most honest and wise judges in the land. He had a trademark question that is still referenced to this day: “Cui bono?”; literally translated “as a benefit to whom?” Cui bono is a Latin adage used […]
American fascism and the death of the West
Dateline: Dana Point, California This isn’t a destination where you’ll see me regularly. In fact, it takes a lot these days to get me to show up in The Land of the Free. A suite at the St. Regis in Orange County (which is excellent, by the way) and seeing a close friend was my […]
A word of caution on Panama banks and offshore accounts
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua In the movie Blow, Johnny Depp plays Pablo Escobar’s largest cocaine trafficker during the boom era of the 1980s.

Eighty-five richest people as wealthy as poorest half… who cares?
Dateline: León, Nicaragua Granada is a bustling university town with a charming town square and an ongoing rush of tourists. After Nicaraguan independence, the university elites of Granada and the lesser-preserved León fought over which city should be the newly sovereign nation’s capital. León, dominated by the liberal elites, almost became the capital; but the […]
How to buy and invest in Nicaragua real estate
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua I just got what could be one of the most insulting emails of my life. Like you, I spent years trapped in the notion that I should keep everything I owned under one “roof”, so to speak. That meant that all of my savings, my assets, my businesses, and everything I owned […]
The Safest Place to Live in Central America
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua Driving to O’Hare Airport in Chicago yesterday was a disaster. Winter weather in much of the United States is just a fact of life.

What Peter Schiff told me about American inflation
Dateline: Chicago, United States Last summer, I shared a somewhat tongue-in-cheek perspective on how grocery stores in Vietnam are stealing from the populace thanks to the worthless Vietnamese dong.

The curse of economic isolation: how governments forget history
Dateline: San Francisco, California, United States Economic isolation is the kiss of death for an economy. Sometimes, it happens slowly. Other times, it happens all at once.

What is the best second passport strategy?

Five countries with more freedom of the press than the USA
It’s no surprise that countries like Norway or Switzerland rank high when it comes to freedom of the press. We frequently discuss these countries as being great places for personal and data privacy.

Is your business government-proof? How to not lose your investment
Dateline: Taipei, Taiwan Stepping off of the flight from Manila to Taipei was like being transported to another world.

Christmas in the Philippines… and out of prison
