Live and Invest Overseas was founded by Kathleen Peddicord.

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live-, retire-, invest-, and do-business-overseas beat for more than three decades and is considered the world’s foremost authority on these subjects.

Kathleen has traveled to more than 70 countries, established businesses in 7, and invested in property in 23. Thanks to these adventures abroad, Kathleen has been able to assemble an unparalleled global network of global contacts, colleagues, friends, experts, resources, expats, and advisors.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland… then to Paris, France… next to Panama City, Panama… and, most recently, she and her husband Lief Simon have flipped the switch to a new stage of their lives that has the couple moving around the world regularly with Paris and Panama City as complementary home bases.

Kathleen was Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the International Living group for 23 years. She moved on from that role in 2007.

She has appeared often on radio and television and has written innumerable books (including most recently a new and expanded edition of her best-selling “How To Retire Overseas” for Penguin Books), reports, and essays on where and how you can escape the retirement-tromping economy at home and live like royalty on a modest budget… invest for profits overseas ahead of the crowds… and secure your dream lifestyle in the world’s best destinations.
