Posted on January 29, 2012 by Barbara Diggs
Six years ago, I received a birthday present worth over $70,000. No, I’m not friends with Oprah. We had recently fallen in love with—and bought—a crumbling, pigeon-infested, 150-year old maison bourgeoise in northern Burgundy, France, only two hours away from our apartment in Paris.

- Buy Real Estate Priced in Pesos
Posted on January 15, 2012 by Ronan McMahon
When you buy international real estate you can generate income in another currency. All your eggs aren’t in one basket. If the value of your dollar goes down, for example, you might be very happy to have an income stream in Brazilian reais…or Colombian pesos.

- Cambodia: Southeast Asia’s Best-Kept Secret
Posted 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.
