209: Nomad Mastery: Kristin Wilson’s Guide to Long-Term Travel
Today’s guest is Kristin Wilson, known by her YouTube name, Traveling With Kristin, and is an expert on living the digital nomad lifestyle.
Kristin is the author of Digital Nomads for Dummies and hosts the top-rated podcast Badass Digital Nomads, with over 250,000 downloads in 170+ countries.
TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH KRISTIN
Before the pandemic and after the pandemic. How lives have changed, for the good and the bad. Listen as Kristin walks us through what life was like in Miami, Florida, during the past few years and where travels will take her in 2023.
What should you do next when it’s time to move on, leave your comfort zone, and start travelling? Where are some really great places to travel to?
Kristin shares the top ways to choose a location that’s perfect for you.
Are you a snow junkie? Like to put snowboarding at the top of your list but don’t know where to go as a digital nomad? I chat with Kristin about our favourite countries to visit during the winter months. I know you’ll want to hear what countries she likes best.
Interesting conversation about World Schooling ourselves, not just our kids. What interests you, and where can you tick the boxes while travelling the world?
Being purposeful about geography, culture and religion, finding your hotspot. I’m super excited about this for my own children; listen in, especially if you have kids or are planning on having a family.
In your business and travel experiences, do you focus on lowering your cost of living? Or focus on raising the top end; how much money you can spend on things? Which do you relate to?? It’s such an interesting concept.
I give away some really top ideas on how to perform better, be more successful and be considerably happier, even though I work like crazy! Don’t miss this part!
What can your life look like when you stop hoarding every dollar you make? Being open and free and abundant with it. Especially when you live in a country with a lower cost of living.
If you want to be a digital nomad, if you want to be an expat, if you want to travel and live overseas and explore all these places, then do it now. Make sure to listen to this entire episode. If my chat with Kristin doesn’t move the needle, I’m not sure what will.

204: New Beginnings: Joe & Stacey’s Journey from Texas to Panama
Today on The Expat Money Show, we will be doing a bonus episode. I have never done this before, and I thought it was such a cool idea.
We're going to showcase several of our private clients over the next 2 weeks. We're doing a special book of case studies, and I thought, what the heck, the best way to go about this is to do it interview style.
You’ll hear their stories, the difficulties they might have had, and their experience of deciding to leave their country of birth for a new home.
These interviews are done by Susan from my team.

How to earn a million points and travel the world for (almost) free.

202: The Startup City Concept: Francisco Litvay’s Insights
Francisco Litvay is the Co-founder of Settee, an internationalization company. At age 17, he moved from Brazil and, at 21, became a digital nomad, having been in more than 20 countries on 4 continents since then.
He specializes in Special Economic Zones and Charter Cities and is an ambassador for the Free Private Cities Foundation and Head of Internationalization at the Adrianople Group, a business intelligence firm focused on special jurisdictions.
TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH FRANCISCO
Today I chat with Francisco Litvay about the power of free cities and private cities and how they just work better. If you’re new to this idea, listen to the entire podcast, there’s so much we unpack.
We discuss the possibility of creating a voluntary system of government and how that can help your business, how you can pay less taxes, and how free zones can help you move to different countries.
And if you’ve ever wondered how each of my podcast episodes is connected, week after week, I’ll let you in on the secret during this show.
A fascinating conversation on the practicality of libertarianism, what are the big projects in this space really have legs, things that are up and coming and what Francisco is working on right now.
Francisco and I talk about ZEDEs, the concept, and the value they bring to the world. We talk a lot about Honduras and what it will mean to the country, but there are many around the world.
We delve into other jurisdictions like Uruguay and the UAE, how their governments have handled special economic zones, and what the incentives are for businesses set up in these zones.
You’ve decided that you love the idea of a free zone, and you want to participate; Francisco discusses the company formation side, the banking side, the living side, and anything you can actually do to increase your own freedom using this vehicle and this varies from country to country, so listen carefully.
Special Economic Zones in Africa? Countries like São Tomé and Príncipe or Nigeria. Maybe these are great alternative countries and islands that we should look at?
If you want to see where all of the special economic zones are across the world, basically every zone on earth, go to Open Zone Map. If it's a charter city, a free zone, a free port, private or public, or if you really want to learn about zones and see where there are opportunities close to you, check out the open zone map; I’ll give you the link below.

It is worth mentioning that Patrick made a special offer in the presentation which was set to expire a few days ago. I twisted his arm to get him to extend it by a week to Aug 22, 2022. This should give everyone a chance to listen to the presentation and be able to email him if you are interested.
His team can be reached at expat@EcoVillages.life
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS WEBINAR
I'm going to spoil the surprise a little bit, but Patrick made a very, very generous offer on this presentation… make sure you listen to find out what it was!
This surprise had a set date of the 15th of this month, which just passed. I had dinner with him the other night, and I got him to agree to move that date just by a few days. Don’t miss your chance!
What is ‘Agroforestry’ anyways? And what is the concept behind agroforestry? Before you can make a good decision, you really have to understand these concepts!
We’re going to talk about a ton of really valuable things regarding this unique investment. Get your pen and paper ready!
So if you guys want more information about all of this, especially after you listen to the episode, then you can send Patrick and Ally an email. I’ll give you the address in the podcast, keep an ear open for it.
I’ve done this process myself, I know what you can expect is going to happen, so there’s no better place to hear this information than from todays podcast episode.
Top 3 reasons why having a second residence is so important and what can happen when that’s not in place.
We're going to be talking about how you can get a 2nd or 3rd residency in a new country, specifically residency through investment using agroforestry. We're going to be talking about what that entails, the immigration process, and how it is all viewed.
We're going to have a big Q&A at the end of this session, so it’s vitally important to listen to the entire podcast so that all of your questions are answered. You won’t want to miss that.

CONCLUSION
This was an amazing presentation by Patrick Hiebert and Ally Rodriguez from Eco Villages. This is probably the fastest and easiest way to get a second or third residency in the world. The cost is reasonable, and the time to obtain it is also really reasonable.

200 Episodes, 200 Adventures: Celebrating Global Exploration
Today we celebrate episode 200. Holy moly, I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I bought my first podcasting equipment and made the move into full-time podcasting. In my heart, I knew this was the right move, and every week, with more and more listeners and as we grow, you all reaffirm my commitment to the expat life and helping every one of you to move offshore.
HERE’S WHAT I DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE
Listen in to hear what happens when you don’t know what you want but just go for it, starting something that you really enjoy doing, and what the end result can be.
I talk today about what I’ve been up to, what’s happening in the business, the new resources, the projects, and all the cool stuff out there to make your expat dream a reality. If you’re not an expat and want to be one, this is the episode for you.

I share with you the updates on our project with 10 Eighteen Uganda, the organization that changed my life, what has been happening this past year, and with your support, what we can expect for 2023 going forward.

Even though we have way over 6,300 members in our Facebook group in just under a year, you’ll laugh at how we get people to leave, saying goodbye on their way out the door. If you’re not part of our FB Group, now is the time to join.
If you hate Facebook as much as I do, then you’ll be happy to hear we are talking about creating a group outside of Facebook. I’ll give you some of the details today.

CONCLUSION
I can’t believe I’ve recorded 200 episodes of The Expat Money Show. I’d like to say that when I started over 6 years ago, I knew exactly where I was going, who my clients would be and that it would be an easy journey, but of course, that would be disingenuous; the truth is that I keep learning and asking lots of questions from my subscribers, how I can help more and what is important to you guys, that's what has made all the difference in the world.
In this episode, I let you in on some of the secrets from the past 6 years, but really I let you in on the future plans of Expat Money. Where we want to go and who will come along with us. Will that be you?
