Anyone seriously planning to live or retire in Costa Rica should know some Spanish — the more the better. Honestly, you will be disadvantaged, handicapped and be considered a foreigner without Spanish. Part of the fun of living in another country is communicating with the local people, making new friends and enjoying the culture.

Most native English speakers who decide to live in Costa Rica will find it hard to understand and communicate with locals. Even people with some knowledge of the Spanish language often have a difficult time with local slang. Like English, Spanish has become a very idiomatic language. Everyday conversations are filled with local jargon called, tiquismos.

This guide will help you learn most of the local idioms and enable you to speak on a basic level.

This is not your average 'retire and build home on tropical island' story. True, Ginnie Bedggood and Grahame Bush did relocate to the Dominican Republic in 1992 and true that they ended up building a house, despite advice to the contrary. But 'home building' to them was never about bricks and mortar alone. This is much more the story of an expatriate couple who did it the hard way and gained more than they ever thought possible.

Quisqueya: Mad Dogs and English Couple charts their early years as foreign residents in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic where they arrived with four suitcases, US$3000 and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Merengue. It chronicles the challenges they faced in adjusting to a different culture, not least trying to make ends meet from Dominican salaries (hunger included!) and their learning to cope with power outages and water shortages. What is different about the book is that this middle aged couple obviously thrived on these experiences and thus the story is both positive, uplifting and at times very funny. In the Dominican people they found a humanity missing from their first world existence in England; thus, despite all the problems and all the challenges Grahame Bush and Ginnie Bedggood found themselves internalising this humanity to become more simpático people themselves.

Is this some Mythical Country?

Absolutely not!

Many tropical developing countries have overall lower costs of living and real estate than Panama. In fact, you could probably live very well on 5-15% of your current North American retirement budget in Ecuador, Uruguay, Belize, Argentina, Thailand, or even Nicaragua where you could purchase or build a comfortable home for as little as $20,000 to $50,000. Every country is a compromise but you can take some comfort that Escape Artist, AARP, Fortune Magazine, and many prestigious publications have written very favorably about Panama.

But Panama, on balance, has a significant edge ... in my opinion.

Panama was chosen as the “best country in the world” to live by International Living … in fact six times in a row. The Editor of International Living has in fact decided that she and her husband will move to Panama by early 2007.

If “offshore living” is potentially an option for your retirement contingency planning, then this book will give you the "big picture".

*“Retirement Planning for Offshore Living” provides you with a solid “framework” and “reference” to compare one tropical country with another as well as developed countries with developing countries.

*It will show you how to dramatically enhance your present lifestyle on one third of your current budget if that is of interest.

*It allows you to compare the many retirement advantages and disadvantages of living in developed countries such as the USA, Canada, the UK, France, Singapore etc with specific low cost tropical developing countries such as Thailand and Panama. Mexico is also compared in-depth but is not considered a low cost developing country.

*It provides you with a “road map” or “plan of action” to analyze your retirement options and alternatives to an expensive and high risk retirement in a developed country (e.g. the USA, Canada or Europe).

*You will learn important details about purchasing real estate, day-to-day living, investing, working, and retirement opportunities.

*There is also a significant section outlining a wide range of small businesses that you could easily start in such a country with much less capital and fewer risks than in North America or Europe.

This guidebook is designed to offer the experiences and information that, hopefully, will help the reader to prepare driving the routes covered.

The pristine, Kingdom of Tonga is a country filled with beautiful and friendly people, hands off and generally likeable government officers and public servants, and a aura of absolute peace.

It is a country that is traveling two roads, which would seem to be going in opposite directions to an outsider, but to a Tongan, this makes perfect sense. Tonga is on the road to economic improvement and touristic advancement, while at the same time traveling the much older path of obedience to culture and respect for nature and family alike.

Because Tonga is located in the southern hemisphere, and also due to the influence of the southeast trade winds, this paradise of a country experiences summer between November and April, when Americans and Europeans experiences winter. Summer temperatures fluctuate between 21°C (70°F) and 32°C (90°F), which is quite cool compared to many other South Pacific countries, and even many American states.

The beautiful, brown skinned, brown eyed, black haired people of Tonga are extremely friendly and helpful, which is no doubt part of the reason the country has never rescinded its title of, “The Friendly Islands”, as named by Captain Cook after he received a warm reception upon landing in Vava’u.
