Wonderful content! Exceptionally informative. This is my first time coming to one of these meetings and I’ve hung on to every word and story
This was my second ROC, the 1st one made me feel that I could make a move. I have since attended conferences in Belize and Panama
One of the best experiences and decision in my adult life
I loved hearing stories of expats. These are people who actually walked the walk and show people like me that this is not crazy
The idea of bringing LIOS expats to talk about their experience was fun!
The most meaningful part has been to hear the journeys of other LIOS expats, all their life experiences, strategies, and choices
The general sense of organization, planning and coordination shows a depth of planning. All speakers and personnel were qualified. This proves confidence and respect
Thank you for the awesome experience. I know my life is about to change. Thank you for having honest companies that I can trust to invest in
I’ve had my passport in my hand bag for the last 27 years, you have showed me the way to use it and how. Thank you
I’ve been on LIOS email list since Nov. 2016 and had narrowed down my choices of countries to: Belize, Panama and Portugal. This conference has expanded my horizons to include the Dominican Republic and Malta
Kathleen and Lief, I appreciate that you’re sharing what you’ve gone thru with all your moves. Also appreciate Lee’s down to earth, nitty gritty details. I also am so glad to have the names of trustworthy attorneys and bankers. I’m wanting to get my son and his wife more involved and they are interested now so I’m looking at ways all 3 of us can attend conferences
We are very surprised to learn that France is our budget. We are now considering France. Very interesting and unexpected information about rare coin investing.”

As a ‘young’ (40) retiree, I really appreciated the candor during the sessions. The information provided was real and thought provoking. I already feel like the foundation I’m building for my future is stronger! I was only focusing on Central and South America until Nikki’s session – Bravo!! Italy will definitely get a second look.”
–Ria Aiken, United States
I have lived/worked in both Spain & Mexico; have spent a lot of time in other countries. These workshops are excellent for ‘whetting the appetite’ of perspective expats.”
–Jon Bell, United States
Yes, in spades! I came hoping to gain some insightful information on various countries and hoped to meet a couple of contacts and a couple of likeminded future expats. I left with rock solid tax and investment strategies (not just advice), a slew of important contacts in more countries across more fields than I could have imagined and new friends from all over. Thank you Kathleen & Lief & LIO!”

Exceeded my expectations. Sessions, speakers, format helped my decision-making process.”
