Early this morning I received a call and the caller mentions “Did you know there’s another lot breaking ground in Montaña y Mar.” Not surprising I didn’t so I went over to check out the scene and see what lot it was. When I arrived they were just digging the initial tranches for the foundation. [...]

There’s a multitude of ways August 6, 1991 changed the world but one thing I’m sure we’ll all agree on is since [...]
One question I’m often asked is what entailed in the DYD tour. Where will we be going, what will we see? You know the general questions you’d think might have an easy answer. Turns out these questions don’t have simple answers. Over the past six plus years I’ve done close to 700 discovery tours, met [...]
I’m often asked “with all the countries you’ve been in and after living in six different countries what made you settle on the DR?”A good question that’s always trailed by another “out of the whole DR what is it that made you pick the town of Cabrera?” Perhaps even a better question and I’ll attempt [...]

Nancy and Jerry are carrying out a project that many would find hard to even consider. They’re building a 2,200 square foot pool cliff home while still living abroad.

Together we’ll go through what is passport ranking, what exactly it is what it means and most importantly [...]
In this the 2nd video I dive in a bit deeper. I’ll touch on a few areas so often overlooked until after you’ve already made your final immigration decision. I revisit why I feel it’s mandatory owning at least two passports. An exit strategy, an extra queen on the board, a get out of jail [...]
