Penny Herbert
Edward Island, Canada
“I found my tribe!”
★★★★★
As a single person, you have to make all these decisions by yourself. I knew I wanted to live at least part-time outside the United States, but I came to a Live and Invest Overseas event with an open mind. I went to every presentation I could… I mingled with people and found my tribe.
Mike Herndon
California, United States

The most meaningful part has been to hear the journeys of other LIOS expats, all their life experiences, strategies, and choices. I know my life is about to change. Thank you for your honesty…

Things People
Get Wrong
About Living Overseas
check_circle
"It's too expensive."
Not in the places we’ll show you—where a beachfront home can cost less than an apartment far from the water in Canada or the United States.
check_circle
"I’ll need to learn a new language."
Wrong. Our top picks are English-friendly, full of other expats, and easier to settle into than you might think.
check_circle
"It's not safe."
We’ve handpicked regions, cities, and towns that consistently rank among the safest in the world for expats and retirees.
check_circle
"I'll miss my family and friends."
In fact, most of our attendees tell us the opposite happened: they became more connected… because everyone wants to visit!
check_circle
"I'm too old to move abroad."
Our attendees range from their 40s into their 80s, with an average age of 64. Those who make the move call it one of the best decisions they've ever made.
The Best Time We've Ever Had In Our Lives
“We're having the best time we've ever had in our lives. Bill and I are thrilled with our purchase of oceanfront. Gosh, what a place...
“People who are immediate friends, ever-present adventure, beauty around every turn, and a feeling of being in a place few are privileged to find.”

Settled by French expats in the 1970s, this gorgeous beach community has been attracting Europeans ever since… and now a growing wave of North Americans are discovering it.

You could live here on just $1,975 a month.
Live On The Beach In Portugal

Like Southern California—At Half The Cost

Our #1 Mediterranean Retirement Haven

An English-Speaking Beach Paradise
From $2,484 A Month

Cosmopolitan Beachfront Living In Europe
From $2,680 A Month
This Mediterranean city in Spain recently ranked as the World's #1 Retirement Haven. It boasts ancient Roman ruins, incredible architecture, famous food, and some of the finest beaches in Europe, all wrapped up in 300 days of sunshine a year.

“I’m Thrilled…”
“It’s tempting to continue living the way you’ve been living. It’s easy… and it can be very frightening to think about creating a whole new life for yourself in a foreign place.
“All I can tell you now is that I’m thrilled… it has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life.

Making The Move
And Each Step To Your New Life
This is often the part people find most valuable…
Because it can be the difference between a successful move and a stressful one.
Indeed, attendees give their highest ratings to our discussions on these “practicalities.” It’s the type of advice useful for considering not only a beachfront life but any life abroad. We’ll answer questions such as:
What should I bring with me? How do I handle my pets? What do I do about credit cards and mail?
How do I stay connected with family back home? How do I make friends… and feel welcomed in my new community?
Our experts have lived it—and they'll tell you everything you need to know, “warts and all” as we like to say.

Yes, you really can do this. With the right support, it’s a lot easier than you might think…
More than 10 million Americans and Canadians are already living their best lives outside the country where they were born.
Live And Invest Overseas has helped thousands of folks—some probably just like you—realize their dreams of an adventure overseas.

“I'm a truly happy person now.”
“I can honestly say that I'm happier than I ever was living in the States. My wife and I are living much better lives—much healthier lives. We just eat better, and we naturally get more exercise. I lost 70 pounds in the first eight months. I'm a truly happy person now.”

“We’re falling in love
all over again”
all over again”
"We found a beautiful apartment with an ocean view, just a short walk to the beach. The markets, the cobblestone streets, the friendly locals… our favorite pastime now is strolling along the water holding hands. We feel like we're falling in love all over again."
—Terry O., Expat in Europe
“Our new home is just too appealing to deny"
"We thought we’d keep a home in the U.S. and spend part of the year abroad. But once we saw what was waiting for us (the beaches, the lifestyle, the [low] costs) we decided to bail out of the U.S. altogether. Our new home is just too appealing to deny."
—W.S., Expat in Europe
“I have never once been bored”
"There are so many things to do, places to go, and events to attend—you can be as involved or not involved as you wish. Many activities are free… the beach or hiking in the hills… and there's always a festival somewhere nearby. In all my years here I have never once been bored."
—Janine G., Expat in the Caribbean
“I could retire overseas for a lower cost of living"
"About 10 years ago I decided I would like to find somewhere that would give my family a better quality of life… I stumbled across the Live and Invest Overseas website. As I read about all these amazing places where I could retire overseas for a lower cost of living and a better quality of life… a year later, I was able to make my move."
—Neil M., Expat in Central America
“Moving here allowed me to retire 8 years early"
"I chose this place because it was a safe haven… and moving here allowed me to retire 8 years early. You don't need a big retirement account or income to live the good life here. My husband and I are living a great life, and we get by on much, much less than we were spending back in the States."
—Helena K., Expat in the Caribbean
“Our wildest dreams
can come true”
can come true”
"My life was ripe and longing for change… I so greatly appreciate your passion to vet and bring solid opportunities to so many folks, helping us to bypass many mistakes and showing us that even our wildest dreams can come true. You all at LIOS and the people I met at that conference are my support network now."
—Sandy F., Expat in Central America
Despite all hailing from Canada or the USA, all their stories… and all their destinations… are different.
But they all share one thing in common: they stopped waiting for the right time, and they got up and made the move.
Now they’re all living the beachfront life they once only dreamed of… and you can, too.
You can wake up every morning to the sounds of crashing waves ad seabirds… swaying palms and gentle breezes…
In a place where you’ll feel safe, energized, and content.
Let us help you take the all-important first big step toward your new beachfront life…
Join us and get the same expert support that thousands of past attendees used to claim their new and better life abroad.

The Live And Invest Overseas Beachfront Event features three days of activities taking place over Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, July 24-26.
We start early every morning around 8:00 a.m., so we strongly suggest staying in our venue hotel so that you have plenty of time to enjoy free breakfast, while mingling with the other attendees and our experts.
Each day ends between 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. We host our open-bar cocktail party at the end of the first day, and every day features two free snack and refreshment breaks—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—as well as a lunch break of around 90 minutes. Certain presenters often provide free lunch or dinner during private sessions.
Please note that speakers and schedule may be subject to change.
And remember that every session is recorded and available for on-demand playback… so you’ll never miss anything, and you won’t need to write pages and pages of notes.
Final note: Be sure to speak with our Events Team prior to booking your flight. We’ll have several optional tours available before or after the event. Furthermore, we can help you plan your adventure in Panama if you intend to travel on your own for scouting or relaxation.
Elite Attendees: Full information will be provided by your event concierge in the coming weeks. Currently, your Elite Beachfront Property Tour is scheduled for Monday, July 27 and includes a Beachfront Living Discovery Tour and a How-To-Buy-Beachfront Tour, along with reserved front-row seating for all three days of the conference. You’ll also enjoy a private oceanfront lunch with Lief Simon and select experts, plus a sunset cocktail reception by the beach. The final Elite Schedule will be provided prior to the start of the event.
