276: Mikkel’s Travel Chronicles – Unforgettable Adventures

This past year has been full of great opportunities to visit a bunch of new countries. Longtime listeners know how much I love travelling and exploring the world, so I thought we would give you a bit of a highlight reel of some of the places that I got to see and some of the insights that I learned from the past year of travels.  As you all know, I don’t pull punches or mince words - so this episode features stories of all varieties - the good, the bad and yes, even the ugly. Enjoy!

CONCLUSION

This year has been one of the most active travel years I’ve had in recent memory, and certainly the most travel I’ve done since the ‘scamdemic.’ And I got to inch closer to my goal of visiting every country in the world with first-time visits to places like Armenia, Azerbaijan and Paraguay. I am just beginning to make plans for various exploratory trips and client tours for 2024, and you can rest assured you’ll hear about all of them right here on the Expat Money Show. See you all next Wednesday!

Join Me In Panama For Our Next Tour

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates. You can find out more at ExpatMoney.com/fly. Come visit me and the Expat Money team, get a feel for the country and see if Panama makes sense for investment or as a new home.
