Posted on by International Living
International Living ranked Panama the number one place in the world to retire for six consecutive years, and today it remains in our top five.

- Belize: The Owner’s Manual 2011
Posted on May 30, 2011 by International Living
It doesn’t take newcomers long to realize that Belize has a very unusual culture. It’s a land of Mayan temples, colonial mansions, jungle lodges, and seaside condos.

Posted on April 18, 2011 by International Living
Exotic, romantic, and diverse. In the five years since we started our dedicated coverage of Brazil, it’s turned out to be a virtual treasure trove for the readership of International Living.

- France: The Owner’s Manual 2011
Posted on February 4, 2011 by International Living
The trickiest thing about France will be deciding which part of it holds the most allure for you. It could be the wild, rocky shores of Celtic Brittany, steeped in heritage and tradition…or sun-drenched Provence, with its rolling hills and lavender fields, broken by the turquoise sea of the Côte d’Azur…or the castles and sleepy villages of medieval holdings in the Dordogne…
France has all the ingredients that we at International Living look for: a good climate, unspoiled countryside, top-notch culture, excellent health care, affordable real estate (despite the strength of the euro, France can still has lots of cheap property), colorful traditions and history, and, of course, the glitter and sophistication of Paris.
It’s not surprising that France is the world’s favorite destination, receiving in excess of 82 million overseas visitors each year.
