“How do you plan extended trips through multiple countries?” is a question we get often.
Sometimes people even ask us to plan their trip for them… which I’m happy to do for a nominal 200% commission.
For those who are less brazen or aren’t into paying triple, I can do the next best thing… here are the process and the tools that we use to plan and organize our extensive travel.
If I could summarize the human meet and greet ritual in a single phrase, it would be:
Hi… So, what do you do?
It’s an interesting question. What is it that we who no longer have jobs do? How can we answer this question in a way that helps us connect with others? What happens when we are completely honest with our new friends?
Over the years I’ve experienced this inquiry in numerous countries, languages, and cultures. Here are a few of the more entertaining interactions.
People add gold to their investment portfolio for all kinds of reasons… it’s pretty, they accidentally read Zero Hedge, their Mom suggested it, or they plan on trading it for food after the apocalypse.
Those are all obviously terrible reasons.
This is true in part because there is really only one good reason to own any gold at all. Dentistry.
This week I’m going into the GCC Inbox to answer a question I’ve received several times over the years.

Thanks to your blog my wife and I will be retiring early next year. We are Americans and want to move abroad for a few years, in part for the adventure but also to minimize our taxes in the early years. This should help with sequence of return risk. Most of our retirement income will come from qualified dividends and long term capital gains, same as you.
We like the idea of being in one place most of the time. Are there any countries you think would be good to use as a base?
Thank you.
