Hello friends, exciting things happening!
Friends: I wanted to let you know of a couple of blog posts you should be seeing in the upcoming weeks. One of our readers will write a post about her recent trip to Hungary this summer, as well as her impressions. Interestingly, she has been able to obtain citizenship by descent available to those who […]

Have you written an e-book or articles regarding international travel or investment, or the five flags lifestyle? If you are, we’d like to hear from you. We’re working on creating a library/store of e-books and articles for public consumption. It is our hope to have both free articles and e-books, as well as e-books for […]
Continue ReadingCitizenship by Investment in Georgia?
Yesterday I received word, via this self-promoted press release, of a purported citizenship by investment program in Georgia. The marketer appears to be claiming for a fairly low price, the applicant can get permanent residency, which would quickly convert to citizenship. No research done on this (yet) and buyer beware, but I thought it was […]
Continue ReadingA couple of new citizenship by investment options available
Friends: Just a quick line on some new citizenship by investment options, along with links: Moldovan citizenship by investment. St. Kitts Citizenship by Investment Fee (temporarily) decreased. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Friends: Panama over the years has gotten press—both good and (recently) bad—as a flag-planting destination.

For all of its other possibilities, Panama stands as a good destination to plant a “playground” flag. More than […]

One thing I’ve discussed with a few of the old SMC friends I’ve made is the idea of doing some pretty low-key meetups and […]
Continue ReadingBack after a period of inactivity, and a few random thoughts
Friends: I’ve spent a fair amount of time cruising offshore and PT-related sites for reading material and discussion, and frankly am coming up short. I miss the forum discussions we often had at the old SMC site, and so I thought I’d come back to this site and spend a little more time on this […]

Thursday, December 8, 9:15 p.m. Bariloche, Argentina. By Brian I’m writing this before I go to bed to memorialize the first two days of our whirlwind tour of the Chile and Argentina Lakes Regions. My buddy and I had long wanted to travel here, but the size of the countries and distance from home made […]

We had to go offline a couple of months ago due to general bugginess arising from the old software system I’d previously used for this site. I’ve had some coders retool the site using WordPress. Unfortunately, we’ve got some bugs to work out, such as posts out of chronological order, and we’re having to try […]
