• Tune in to hear why we believe Europe is becoming increasingly irrelevant and what that means going forward
• Find out what changed with St. Kitts CBI, in another strong reminder toact swiftly and urgentlybefore programs change their requirements.

Owning precious metals offshore is one of the cornerstones of any fully formed Plan-B.

In today’s episode, I am joined by Jeremey Varlow, who oversees Business Development & SWP Capital for Strategic Wealth Preservation (SWP) in the Cayman Islands. Jeremy shares the story of how he found himself moving to the Cayman Islands from Vancouver, what life is like in Cayman for residents and investors alike, and what makes Cayman such an ideal offshore jurisdiction.

The post 368: Cayman: Inside The Caribbean’s Premier Offshore Hub – Jeremy Varlow appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

• What makes the Cayman Islands so special? Learn what unique qualities give this country an international reputation as a hub for financial services. 
• Is Cayman safe? Find out how this small island nation stacks up to some Caribbean neighbours. 
• How do native Caymans feel about all the foreign investment and expat presence in their country? Mark provides insight into the relationship. 
• Mark provides a breakdown of the unique demographic makeup of the Cayman Islands.
• Uncover the extremely tax-friendly and business-friendly laws, making it a prominent offshore jurisdiction.

CONCLUSION

I had a blast talking to Mark and learning more about the Cayman Islands. While Cayman is a great place to do business and even to live, permanent residency can be extremely difficult to obtain, as opposed to here in Panama, where I am getting residencies for people in a month total.

Today’s guest is Sam Rivello, who left his home in Los Angeles, California in 2010 as a ‘life experiment’ to combine work and travel to see the world. Since then, he has spent “1 minute or more” in 81 countries, with an average time of 58 days per country. Over the past 12 months, he has travelled extensively throughout Africa and plans to spend at least another 12 months seeing what this amazing continent has to offer. Sam and I have a lot in common, and this discussion is chock full of nuggets of wisdom on every step of the expat journey. Enjoy!

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH SAM RIVELLO

• Listen in to hear Sam recount how he decided to try the “life experiment” of working while travelling “for two years” – which is still going strong thirteen years later! Wow!
• Sam reflects on what it was like becoming a “digital nomad” before the term was popularized – and the infrastructure challenges that came along with it.
• We discuss the importance of setting personal boundaries when it comes to technology and the constant challenge of drawing a hard line between work and personal time.
• Sam explains how he made the professional choice to take more long-term ownership and responsibility for his own lifestyle as a full-time expat, to ensure balance in all areas of life.
• Listen as Sam breaks down the challenge of expats and those leading a digital lifestyle to break a lot of their old mindsets in order to make the lifestyle sustainable for them.
• We discuss the concept of “nomad burnout” as Sam explains what led to his decision to live for an extended period of time as an expat in Scandinavia.
• Sam details how the Danes have a very different concept of what entails “friendship” and the difficulty of breaking into pre-established friend groups there in Denmark.
• We dig into our shared view that the expat lifestyle is a fantastic vehicle for learning, which makes it perfect for those with a passion for learning as Sam and I both hold.
• We then discuss some of the reasons that many live vicariously through other expats instead of pulling the trigger and giving it a shot themselves. I’ve heard a ton of these before!
• Sam lays out some of the top reasons that some expats end up burning out from the lifestyle. Be sure to listen in for his advice on how to make sure this doesn’t happen to you!
• Listen to Sam’s insights on the key to learning a new language. Hint: there are no shortcuts!

Often I get asked by subscribers and clients, “Hey Mikkel, What Are You Doing?”

So I thought it would be helpful to record a quick episode on what I am doing with my own money to protect myself and my family from the financial armageddon that is on the horizon.

This episode should give you a bit of insight into the way my brain works and what I think is important for us to defend ourselves.

I don’t expect my opinions to be popular, but at least I am honest.

Enjoy,

Today’s guests on The Expat Money Show are Jim & Judy Brown, who own and operate a charter yacht called Dauntless. Whether it’s a week of R&R exploring idyllic locations, or an adventure-filled experience learning the ropes of a liveaboard yacht, they make sure each and every guest will have simply the best vacation ever. 

.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• Jim had a great love affair with the water since he was a teenager, so it wasn’t a far fetch for them to sell everything and buy a yacht. This is really a great story for those that have planned for retirement and wondering what else is there!
• Judy loves to entertain. She learned to cook 20 years ago and day by day just fell in love with the idea of cooking for others. Nowadays, she just waits for the ‘WOW’…that’s what makes her day.
• Together, they have a beautiful yacht called ‘Dauntless’ and they charter couples around the globe. How have they done that so far? What do they enjoy most about sailing the Caribbean and visiting beautiful dive sites, eating local fresh organic foods? Most importantly, what do their guests think?
• How has Covid affected their business? have they been able to sail the beautiful blue skies?
• Where is their boat today? and where will it be later this year?
• Jim and Judy share what they want for their new adventures in the Mediterranean. What countries they have planned for their guests, what sightseeing options are available?
• We talk a lot about their yacht Dauntless. What does she look like? How many people can she sleep? How big is she?
• We then spent some time on how they pick their routes? do they always stay the same course or is it different every time? and why?
• Not surprisingly, different countries have different rules for immigration, really no different than when you come by car or by air. You have to follow the rules and Jim and Judy know what is required at each port.
• And so much more!

CONCLUSION

I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Jim & Judy. They have such an amazing life, sailing around the globe. Working with folks that want a unique experience of the islands and now countries in the Mediterranean. Not everyone wants to go by land, or fly into a destination and see the big cities. Here’s an opportunity to see it like most never do…I’m seriously jealous of their lifestyle. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to book Dauntless for a trip to Croatia. Enjoy listening to today’s episode!

• Co-founder of the number two sailing YouTube channel in the world SV Delos and how they have documented their sailing experiences around the world.

• Living and working in New Zealand and Australia, and how that happened.
• Mikkel & Brady talk a lot about diving…they both have a huge passion for scuba diving and some of the crazy things they have done while on a dive. 
• What one thing, more than anything else, is important if you want to help crew a boat that will be a sea for many months. It’s probably not what you think?
• After living for years in the South Pacific and the Caribbean where it is warm and hot every single day, they head up to Norway with their final destination of 80 degrees North, where it is cold and snowy, every single day.
• How they documented and filmed a 4 part mini-series called 80NorthSeries.com and detailed the expedition of 8 sailors and filmmakers in the Arctic Circle. On this journey, the crew discover the very real effects of climate change and plastic pollution, witness some of the Arctics’ rarest wildlife and learn the true power of Mother Nature. 
• They self-published using a pay what’s fair model! Brilliant!

CONCLUSION

What a great episode with Brady Trautman. Living a life that most dream about. This 3 part mini-series has really opened my eyes to what it would be like to live on the open waters, visiting countries from the port side, opposed to flying in and maybe never getting to the water. There are still 80 countries I have not been to, maybe this would be a way to see them all!
