Rent in Cambodia: Live in a Mansion for $100 a MonthPosted on April 26, 2012 by Jason Gaspero
the best thing about being a copywriter is that it allows me to enjoy the type of lifestyle that I’ve always wanted. Right now, I’m living and working in Southeast Asia—in a sunny, laid-back little beach resort town called Sihanoukville in Cambodia.
Colonial Cambodia: Polishing the “Pearl of the Orient”Posted on February 21, 2012 by Robert Carry
For many years it was the “Jewel of the Pacific.” Even today, long after the Golden Age of the port city has passed, the brightly-painted hillside houses, cobblestone alleyways, and winding streets of Valparaíso, on Chile’s central coast, are among the country’s most enchanting finds.
The Perfect Job on the BeachPosted on January 26, 2012 by Jason Gaspero
You’ll often hear the phrase “Same Same… But Different” in places like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. And that phrase sums up the freelance copywriter’s lifestyle in Southeast Asia almost perfectly. Here’s why.
Cambodia: Southeast Asia’s Best-Kept SecretPosted on January 10, 2012 by Ronan McMahon
I’m five minutes out of town on the beautiful white sands of Sokha Beach, contemplating the glass-flat turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Small islands dot the horizon. Some have overnight accommodation. On others you can bring your tent. With only four other people on this beach, it’s quiet here and leaving won’t be easy.

Where to Look in the Year Ahead for the Best Property DealsPosted on November 9, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
Greetings from Quito, Ecuador. In a few moments, I leave for the north coast. This is Ecuador’s nicest stretch of coast. We have the opportunity to buy lots here with monthly payments of $500 or less. Because of the new highway we’ll reach the coast by 9.30 a.m. or so. In time for morning ceviche on the beach.
I’m looking forward to seeing the improvements in the coastal highway that runs south to Canoa since I last visited. I’ll send you my full report soon on the infrastructure developments and improvements at the Jama Campay project.
In fact, while the year is winding down…my travel schedule and deal pipeline is filling up. These are exciting times.

A Globetrotting Copywriter’s Beach Budget ParadisePosted on August 18, 2011 by Jason Gaspero
One of the best benefits of the freelance copywriter’s lifestyle is that you can get paid in U.S. dollars… yet live virtually anywhere in the world. And that includes all those countries with a super-low cost-of-living. I’ve had the good fortune to live and work in many countries like this. Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia are a few that come to mind.
New Markets, New Opportunities – 8 Places I’ll Visit This SummerPosted on May 27, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
Summer has arrived. For me, it brings with it a jam–packed schedule of scouting trips on your behalf. I’m looking for new places where we can profit from the major trends on my beat, including:
– New Middle Class: As people join the middle classes they can afford things they couldn’t before like a new condo or vacation on the beach.
– Path of Progress: New bridges, roads and airports that are going to improve accessibility
– Distressed opportunities created by crisis.
My travels will take in Colombia, Ireland, London, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

On the trail of the Khmer ruins in ThailandPosted on July 23, 2007 by Robert Davis
In the early morning calm, red sandstone walls loom above as dark clouds gather overhead. Ancient Banyan trees cast a shadow over the ruins as if to protect some secret past. Four gate towers rise up to the heavens representing the four cardinal points of the compass: north, south, east, and west. A dense stone archway leads to a set of narrow steps. Two fierce, stone lions, baring huge fangs stand guard over a seven-headed serpent. In order to fulfill my pilgrimage and communicate with the Gods I would have to make my way across the Naga Bridge and into the nether world.
Identifying the path of progressPosted on May 22, 2007 by Lief Simon
A couple of years ago, a colleague and I were discussing how much longer growth in the various real estate markets could continue. The U.S. was booming, but so were most other countries that he and I were investing in. For every country, we tried to pinpoint the driving factor in the appreciation of real estate. Most of the factors fell under the general category of the path of progress, which is an important factor to consider when investing in real estate.
