The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Today, I’m going to discuss expat life in Aruba. I visited the country for a week in early January to really understand the immigration process, what taxes were like for individuals and businesses, and what the cost of living and lifestyle could offer an expat interested in living there.   In Today’s Episode, We Talk About Great tips on the real estate market in Aruba. What the cost of buying a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath villa in a private community looks like and what it could cost you to live in Aruba. The not-so-simple steps to understanding land tax issues if you chose to live in Aruba. I break it down so that you at least will have an idea of what you’re getting yourself into when making Aruba your permanent home. What you can expect to pay in income tax if you become a permanent tax resident, and how you can avoid the ‘other’ taxes! Ins and outs of a Timeshare. Is it a good idea or should you steer clear of them? Is Aruba different when it comes to timeshares? Listen in to my experience sitting down for 2 hours with a salesman that at the end we wanted to vomit blood! Why it's vitally important to understand what the free trade zone is all about and how it can help your business grow exponentially. Best strategies for living and working in Aruba. If this is your country of choice, you will not want to miss this episode! Finally, listen in as I talk about the Covid restrictions to enter Aruba and how much fun we had renting a vehicle and really getting to know the island of Aruba!   PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY ON EXPAT LIVING 170: Searching For Freedom In Mexico – Marc Clair 168: Digital Nomad Mindset, Tips And Challenges  165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales You can watch our YouTube video    CONCLUSION I absolutely loved Aruba (as a tourist) and if you are into Island Living, then this might be a great place to look as an expat.

Along with her business partners, she has tackled a problem for travellers who leave the comfort of their own country, where they speak the language and understand their own medical procedures. There’s nothing more frightening than having an emergency with you or your family members and not knowing what to do. Efrat has figured out how to combat this.

Today you will hear my recent interview with my friend Chase Warrington on his podcast called About Abroad. I really loved this episode because we talked about some important things, like travel, mindset, taxes, citizenship, 2nd residencies, my school, and so many other things. Back in 2021, Chase Warrington was on my podcast, episode 157, so if you enjoy our conversation today, go and check out the episode I did with him.   HERE’S WHAT CHASE AND I TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL: Why there is not just one way to do things, and why it’s so important to find what’s good for you, find your peeps, your tribe and when you do, how it can change your life! Listen in when I talk about the very best thing I have ever done in my life, what that is and how you can be a part of it. I talk with Chase Warrington about how I started travelling over 20 years ago and why it became part of my life, the reasons why I can do what I do in this crazy world. The most important lessons I learned from spending time in a government-run school and what made me so passionate about starting my own international school based on totally different concepts and ideas. Listen in as I talk about my superpower! Why I am able to do the things I do and why I’ve accomplished so much in my life. You can have this too! The benefits of having an international family. What does that look like in 2022 and what will life look like in 20 years for my children? Why it’s so important for your children to speak multiple languages and how that is even possible for a 5-year-old child to speak English, Spanish and Mandarin fluently with German on the way, that has never stepped foot in a school. The 3 most important ways to recreate the social aspect of a child's life who attends school in a virtual world. How and why I became a freedom fighter and how I help my clients legally reduce their tax bill, using creative strategies and the benefits it has for their net worth and their investments. Chase and I talk about how our entire life is based on experiences, what those experiences have been and if you haven’t had great ones yet, why travelling the world can change your life forever!  For those of you listening today to my interview on Chase Warrington's podcast or any of my episodes with any of my guests, and you’ve heard the story of my childhood and how horrible my education was, you may wonder -  why am I so confident? Where does his confidence come from… listen to this episode, we talk in detail about how and why this happened, especially at such a young age when things could have gone so horribly wrong. My best tips after working with private clients for years on educating children and the best ways to deal with living overseas. What you can do to escape the matrix this year Chase and I discuss my business, Expat Money, the type of client I work with and how I help these clients every day and how you can work with me too.    PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 163: Expat International School - With Mikkel Thorup 157: Working Remote From Spain - Chase Warrington 115: The Solution To Educating Your Children Abroad – Michael Strong   How To Reach Us: ExpatSchool.io ExpatSchool.io/schedule-a-call   Conclusion There is just a ton of really great information in this podcast. Things I do talk about but not in as much detail, and Chase asked me some very interesting questions about escaping the matrix so I had to really think about my life and how I got to where I am today. I’m really proud of my story and am glad I can use it to help and inspire others, too. If you are an expat or an expat hopeful, you will get a ton of value from this episode.

Michael Wedaa has travelled to more than 100 countries on six continents. His love of travel started in his youth when he visited many of the great national parks in the U.S. He then took his first major international trips to Europe, South America, and Asia in 2011. From there, he caught the travel bug and began taking four international trips per year. In 2020, he became the host of a travel TV show called The Layover Experience.     HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE… Imagine visiting 100 countries! What does that take to accomplish? Michael shares with us what he’s done in his life over the last 10 years to make this happen in his life…and how you can too! What does it take for the love of travel to rule your life! I chat with Michael about how travel changed my life and the important lessons I’ve learned from the people I’ve met along the way. I bet you’re thinking…it’s so easy to go to London, Paris and Rome…but what about Iran, Egypt or Tanzania? Listen to how Michael visited those countries and his wild experiences. Michael and I share some great stories about the countries we’ve visited that people have been really afraid to travel to.  Have you imagined yourself as a writer? You’ve got some amazing plans and yet don’t know what the next steps are. Here Michael tells us how he started and finished writing his first book and I think you’ll really like this if you’re a budding author. I loved chatting with Michael about countries we still don’t know how to spell, or even pronounce, yet can’t wait to visit. Places most people are too scared to go to. Here are some really awesome tips! Michael shares some hilarious stories of his travels and the trouble you can get into when things happen that are out of your control.  Michaels YouTube Show is called ‘Layover Guru’. In today's episode, Michael and I talk about how you can utilize your time on a layover of let’s say 6 - 24 hours. Are you like most people and just sit in the airport? Ya, I get that. But listen to this…Michael uses that time to see a new city or a new country that he may never get a chance to visit again. He shares his tips and tricks for everyone to enjoy. Is Covid still scaring you? Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? Michael talks about all of the travelling he’s done in the past 2 years and how you can make it a reality.   PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales 133: How to Find Cheap Flights To See The World On A Budget – Jen Ruiz 128: Travelling To Every Country In The World – Salvatore Lavallo   HOW TO REACH  International Travel Secrets   CONCLUSION: I’ve never been the sort of guy that loved sitting in an airport, but I always just did it, no matter how long the wait was. I try to book the least amount of time between flights I can, but if I had much of a wait, I would sit in the business class lounge and work.  But I have to say, this conversation with Michael Wedaa has really changed my mind. I think maybe using his tips and tricks for my next flight will greatly enhance my experience!   Make sure you buy his book. It contains an absolute ton of information for both novice and seasoned travellers! I’m excited to see what trouble I can get into in a new city or country!Mentioned in this episode:No Plan-B Without the LanguageIf you’re planning to move overseas—or even just set up your offshore Plan-B—learning the local language isn’t optional.

Today’s guest is my very good friend Marc Clair, the co-founder, host and producer of the ‘Lions of Liberty’ podcast. Over the last eight years, Lions of Liberty has become a leading platform for libertarian voices in the alternative media.  I have had the pleasure of joining him on his podcast multiple times and have even been able to assist him in his own expat journey overseas. On today's podcast, Marc and I discuss his expat journey leaving Los Angeles where he had lived for more than a decade to now living in Mexico City. We discuss the struggles and craziness of dealing with the Mexican government to get residency and in the USA to get a green card for his wife and stepson.   Here's What We Discussed: First off, what is a libertarian? What does it mean to be a libertarian? Do we all think the same, do we have the same ideas…do we wave around a libertarian flag? How neither Marc nor I became overnight libertarians. It became our ideals, our way of life and what brought us to this point in our lives. I think you will love this conversation. Expat living is a vehicle towards freedom and liberty. Are you leaning towards leaving your home country? Wondering what all the hype is about. Marc and I discuss the real struggles of leaving your home and all the things you take for granted.  We talk about the little things that drive us crazy about living in Panama and Mexico and the old adage of 'mañana'. If you’re American or Canadian, you’ll feel our pain.  Marc talks about the nightmare of dealing with immigration in the USA and the time it has taken to complete the paperwork. And in the end, has it been worth it? All these extra steps, and time spent…has it been worth it? Being an expat, leaving your family behind? Going for a green card? Immigration?

We are going to tell a language learning story for the expat. Enjoy!   HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED ABOUT LANGUAGE LEARNING… Are you thinking that it’s impossible to learn a new language, that you don’t have what it takes?

Sarah Tarvin details how she first developed a passion for language learning and how you can too! Do you want to travel and see the world, but you’re afraid that not speaking the language will affect your experience. Chase Warrington and I discuss the importance of learning the local language. It’s amazing how people get started in their expat journeys and their language learning journeys. John Fotheringham explains how he first got interested in studying and teaching English in Japan. Are you thinking that your brain could really use some help? Anthony Metivier discusses the benefits of learning a language on the brain and preventing Alzheimer's. Did you know that all of the myths you’ve heard about language learning are false? None of them are true, it’s all about mindset. Sarah Tarvin and I discuss various mindsets and philosophies regarding language learning. John Fotheringham describes some of his philosophies behind the concept of learning a language and how they can benefit you on your journey. Listen in as I talk with Anthony Metivier to find out what is the science behind building memories? Do you actually rewire your brain? How does that work? And the different types of memories, what are they? Sarah Tarvin’s daughter is multilingual. And she’s just a toddler. We discuss the techniques she uses to teach language to her child so that she will be multilingual. Do you love to watch videos? Kevin Koskella and I discuss learning a language through consuming content and learning in that language. Have you heard of the ‘Memory Palace’ and wondered what the heck it is? Anthony Metivier explains exactly what the concept of the Memory Palace is and how you can use it to learn any foreign language of your choice. John Fotheringham and I discuss a secret Japanese language memorization method. Kris Broholm and I discuss various topics around learning languages including learning via video games.

How this fits in with learning a new language and when you should be learning grammar. Are you thinking that children learn languages differently than adults? Well, John Fotheringham and I discuss what methods you can use that work with your children so they can learn quickly and to make sure they have fun! Can learning a new language bring you joy? I ask Kris Broholm. We talk about the fun we have from learning languages, and how as a polyglot what you take out of the language. Imagine you’re living in a country where you don’t speak the language and you’re a single guy…Kevin Koskella discusses meeting a woman and not knowing Portuguese, his story is hilarious! I asked Kris Broholm what the most difficult language for him to learn was? As a polyglot, you wouldn’t think he would have any problems, but one, in particular, was really hard for him. I bet you can’t guess what language he’s talking about.     Listen To The Full Episodes  114: How To Memorize A Foreign Language – Dr. Anthony Metivier 144: How To Raise Your Children To Be Multilingual – Sarah Tarvin 157: Working Remote From Spain - Chase Warrington 147: Full Immersion Language Learning Before Leaving Home – John Fotheringham 143: Building A Business And Finding Romance In Brazil – Kevin Koskella 148: Expat Life In Hungary, England & Portugal – Kris Broholm   Here are the links we talked about in this episode: ExpatMoneyShow.com/Magnetic ExpatMoneyShow.com/Languages   CONCLUSION: Well, there you have it—the best clips from the last 12 months for you to enjoy!
