120: Setting Sail: Preparation Tips for a Global Voyage – Nick & Terysa
Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Nick Fabbri & Terysa Vanderloo, expats from the UK, who have a truly amazing story that started way back in 2009. They live a life most only dream of. They sail around the world, documenting as they go for all to see. In May 2015, they set off on their sailing adventure and in 2016 they created their YouTube channel ‘Sailing Ruby Rose’.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
How did Nick and Terysa meet? What brought them together.
Who was the sailor, Nick or Terysa? And how did the one convince the other that sailing around the world would be a great idea?
If someone was interested in getting into sailing, what would they need to do?
If you’ve never sailed, Nick and Terysa explain what they believe is best for you.
Plus, if you’ve never sailed, how big of a boat would you buy? Is the old analogy, 'go big or go home' appropriate?
Can you just buy a new boat and start sailing? Or should you start slow and ease into it? How about classes?
Nick and Terysa talk about their 6-month adventure from the UK to the Canary Islands. Things that went wrong, and things that were perfect.
They also discuss other sailors who were also en route to the Canary Islands and how they did things totally differently.
We discuss their first boat purchase, how long they had it and why it was time to upgrade. Similarly, having their 2nd boat for 6 years, and why they chose to sell and buy a brand new Catamaran.
The benefits of a Catamaran opposed to other types of boats.
The 3 most important items to look for when searching out and buying a new boat.
What 4 obstacles must be addressed in order to move forward with buying a new boat.
What life looked like through this Coronavirus pandemic and how 2021 will fare for sailors around the globe.
We talk about their new Catamaran that they will take possession of by the end of 2021 and what’s in store for her.

119: How Children Adapt to an Expat Lifestyle – Jessica & Will Sueiro
Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Jessica & Will Sueiro. Since 2014 they have been travelling the world - one hometown at a time. Together with their free-spirited children, Avalon and Largo, the family have visited 70 countries in their quest to provide a global education for their children, while building a deeper bond as a family.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
It took them 7 years from the start of the idea of becoming full-time travellers to actually being on the road.
We talk a lot about what schools look like in other countries. How the children handled not being able to speak the native language and being on the playground and being able to fit in.
Living full time in Costa Rica, Ecuador and in France. What did that look like? Was it easy to make friends? Did you love it or hate it?
Avalon asking to be homeschooled and how well she is doing today. As a 16-year-old she has 2 online businesses. Find out what they are and how they came to be.
The Sueiros' have been travelling non-stop for 6 years. What are the kids like today? are they empathetic? kind, funny? what does moving from country to country do to a child?
Will & Jess talk about how they broke into the community! you won't believe it!
Mikkel & Jess talk about doing the 'hard things' in life.
Then what did they do?........
They rented a 21 1/2' motor home. Small yes..cozy, for sure. They travelled all through Europe, crazy to hear these stories.
What are they doing today? and if you've wanted to travel, leave your home country and see the world, this episode is a must for you. You'll love it!
After four months locked down on the dock in France, they finally get to take their sailing lessons. They will set sail for Greece (from France) on March 1st.

118: Mikkel Thorup – Real-Life Solutions for Living Overseas for Freedom and Prosperity
Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Mikkel Thorup. Recently I was interviewed on The Brian Nichols Show and it was such a great interview that I wanted to share with you what it's like to be on the other side of the podcast microphone. This time around Brian asks the questions and I get to answer them.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
Objections - how can I live this expat lifestyle and debunk them
Brand new president
I’m not going to live in this country anymore
Escape Artist and Expat Money Show
Help Americans and Canadians to move overseas
Move them...or their businesses overseas
Real advantages of living in other countries
Especially from the USA, looking for freedom and real-life solutions
Not just ideas, wishful thinking, these are real-life things you can put in your life right now
How to be problem solvers, how to help people
What is our belief system?
I thought I was in control...I was wrong!
Different jurisdictions, advantages; disadvantages; local tax requirements; how do we stay legal; tax-efficient manner; that’s the stuff that I geek out on and help people today
Individual sovereignty, personal responsibility
If you believe that ‘tax’ is theft, what are you doing about it? or that war is murder
Where could you live
Other problems: taxes will be raised, gift exemption going down, California is tracking people and wants their portion of income tax
The legality of the election
People don’t feel safe, being targeted or feel wanted
What are the solutions? What is the plan?
What about culture, moving your entire life and family to a foreign country?
What about my job?
Have a plan in place
And more!

CONCLUSION
I really enjoy being interviewed on other podcasts. This is the 2nd time for The Brian Nichols Show and I'm sure it won't be the last. People every day are coming to be wanting, needing, to leave the USA or Canada, or any other country for that matter. They need solutions. Real-life solutions and my job is to listen, and then figure out a plan that works for everyone. Maybe in next month, next year, a 5-year plan, but we work together and make it happen.
If you are in need of information, please reach out to me here at The Expat Money Show. I'll be happy to set up a meeting and start mapping out what's important for you and your family for your future.Mentioned in this episode:Join Us For Upcoming Live WebinarsEvery month, we offer exciting new webinars for our community.

CONCLUSION
Anthony and I have become friends over the past year and I have used his method for memory enhancing since day 1. I can tell you his use of the Memory Palace is fascinating and I use it all the time for anchoring new vocabulary. It has helped immensely with my Spanish learning, making it easier and more effective.

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Tariq Dennison, a Wealth Manager and Certified Financial Planner at GFM Asset Management, which is based out of Hong Kong and Macau. In today's interview with Tariq Dennison, I wanted to take a 30'000 foot overview of what different individuals, young, old and with a family, might be looking at for their financial wealth.
.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
Tax code as an expat
Retirement plans
Who is the ideal person for this style of investing
Gift tax allowances
Insurance
Is your will up-to-date?
Expats living overseas
Pre high net worth individuals

CONCLUSION
I can see why Tariq loves working with 'Pre High Net Worth' individuals. A young 22-year-old comes to him for advice, and they can plan out his/her future to ensure they take all the right steps so when retirement is around the corner, they are prepared. And these pre-high net worth individuals come to him because their parents came to him first. The parents made sure their retirement was in place and they were able to say to their children, see, we listened to the advice given to us by Tariq, we believe you should do the same. Wow, I just love it!
