Cuenca, Ecuador | Overseas Haven Report
As a favored destination for English-speaking expatriates, Cuenca is strictly a 21st-century phenomenon.
The infrastructure is good and getting better, the weather and colonial culture are excellent and it is relatively easy to get to, especially from the United States.
The city is the perfect size for a lot of people—large enough to have big city amenities and cultural activities but small enough to have a comfortable, homey feel.
The cultural attractions includes Cuenca’s Cañari and Inca heritage, its well-preserved Spanish historic district (second only in South America to nearby Quito’s size), and its reputation as a center for the arts.
It features dozens of museums and art galleries and hosts an international film festival and an art bienal.
Another major draw for expats is Cuenca’s low cost of living, allowing North Americans to live comfortably on Social Security and pension checks.
Other incentives include: an efficient public transportation system, the best drinking water in Latin America, and good health and dental care.
Ample opportunities for outdoor activities abound, including biking, fishing and hiking.
And Cuenca is a great place to get around on foot.

Da Lat, Vietnam | Overseas Haven Report
Best known as “Little Paris,” Da Lat is a resort town in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Often shrouded in mist thanks to its altitude, its elevation also means year-round mild weather and pine forests, attracting plenty of expats and tourists seeking cooler climes. The climate also means an abundance of local produce available no matter the month.
Da Lat is Vietnam’s honeymoon capital, often called the Valley of Love, offering flower gardens, swan-shaped paddleboats, a miniature Eiffel Tower, and much more to the romantic at heart. Plus, golf courses for those who like to hit the links.
The city is relatively small (under 400 square kms), allowing you to get around on foot. It’s also considered a safe area, not subject to earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Perhaps the best thing about Da Lat, though, is that it can be enjoyed at an shockingly low cost. Everything from rent to health insurance to a cup of coffee is cheaper than it is back home, and you can live well here on nothing but your pension.
If you’re after peace and tranquility, rest, and relaxation, this might be the place for you.

Durango, Mexico | Overseas Haven Report
Mexico is one of the most expat-populated countries in the world, yet few have heard about Durango—the large, sophisticated city with great weather and a high standard of living. Durango delivers the best of Mexico… the real, unadulterated version beyond the resorts and expat havens.

On top of this, it has clean, well-kept streets… amazing architecture more reminiscent of Europe than Spanish America… newly constructed pedestrian-only areas lined with cafés, shops, and clubs… and a property market that offers astounding value for its worth.

Eastern Algarve, Portugal | Overseas Haven Report
In this Overseas Haven report we explore East Algarve.
Because of the huge increase in tourism in Portugal, standard popular areas are getting crowded and expensive. Hence, the attention on this part of Portugal’s world-famous Algarve region. European expats have been moving here in droves, especially the British, and now an increasing American influx is being felt. This means an active, English-speaking expat community to plug into along with the lower cost of living, great weather, and outdoor activities on offer.
Eastern Algarve is perfect for those with a love of nature and the outdoors. The warm weather and laid-back life near the sea harkens to a slower time spent with friends and family enjoying the sunshine and outdoors. The pace is yours and can be dialed up or down as you like. If you’re ready to savor moments in the sun… discover a healthier lifestyle and food… find a safe place with an emphasis on family and friends… live a first-world life at third-world prices… make a good investment with the benefit of an EU passport… and do it all without a language barrier to start… you’ll find many options await you in eastern Algarve.

Gozo is an extremely picturesque little rock in the middle of the Mediterranean where you can enjoy beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, inexpensive property, and an interesting local culture, all steeped in a rich historical ambiance…
Gozo is a steppingstone between North Africa and Southern Europe… Its first known inhabitants arrived in 5000 B.C., and since then, it’s been invaded by everyone from the Phoenicians to the Arabs, the French to the Brits.
Its landscape is renowned for its cacti-spotted hills and peaceful, desert scenery… In fact, it’s so distinctive, it’s often featured in television and film. If you’ve ever seen “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Game of Thrones,” or “By the Sea,” then you’ve already laid eyes on Gozo’s landscape.
