Lovely conference hotel in an amazing location. The speakers were very knowledgeable on their respective countries and what life is like in their country. The length of the conference was just about right. This was my first IL conference and I learned quite a bit about what I need to do to live overseas. It was eye opening. I also learned a lot about living in those countries highlighted and I narrowed my list to 3 countries I am seriously interested in. I WILL be attending next year's conference in Rome. If you are considering living overseas, this is a must attend event.
Just got off the phone with John a fine Irish lad that had all the information and answers to my questions about my subscriptions not only was he informative but also a joy to listen to and a pleasure to have solve my problems in a very short time.
Asked to cancel my subscription to Field Notes by Jeff Opdyke. It redirects to International Living. Neither Jeff nor International Living responded to my multiple requests to cancel the Field Notes subscription which is a total scam and now seems devoted to getting everyone to buy Jeff's preferred crypto rather than any real insights into products advertised.
I went to their conference in Cancun in 2015. conference itself was "OK." however they had vendors there for making investments and i figured they were well vetted. they were not. the precious metals turned out to be a scam. I lost over 50K. they wanted me to pay a lawyer in Panama to try to get the money back. the even worse scandal was the outfit selling colored diamonds. I invested with them and over the years built up a portfolio of over 200K spent. I won't go into all the details.. too long... but when it came time to try to cash them in, i tried for 2 years with the original company referring me in sequence to 2 others, as they had retired, where i had to outlay more cash. i eventually had to unload the diamonds for less than 10% of what I spent on them. A sucker is born every day and I was one with this company. would give 0 if it was an option.
A lot of good information. Maybe some breakout sessions interspersed with linear format to allow more in depth questions in some cases, while opting out of other topics. For example, no interest in starting a business, but details on shipping home goods. Favorite parts were personal Expat experiences. Particularly Jess R. All were great though!
