167: Why Go Remote And How To Get Started
The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
Choosing Your Heart
i'm big into minimalism, putting all my stuff into the ten by ten storage shed. At one point i owned over a hundred pairs of shoes. And it turns out when you live over seas, lot of that stuff is not important anyways, nobody cares about it. It's kind of great to know what you have and to really like the pieces that you have instead of having a bunch of stuff that you kind of feel lukewarm about. Like these things that i thought were so precious that i had to put them in storage i couldn't get rid of,. i couldn't possibly write.

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.
