About me

My name is Nick, I’m a 27 year old digital nomad originally from Michigan, USA.

I’ve been living in Latin America on and off for the past 5 years, and it has opened a whole new world of possibilities.

You see, I used to believe that you needed to become a multimillionaire in order to be able to live a free life. To gain the ability to wake up when you want to, travel when you want, and even to have success in dating.

Freedom of time was always something that I sought through financial independence. But after traveling around Latin America and choosing Paraguay as my home base, I’ve learned that you really only need to make about $1000/month to live the equivalent lifestyle that $4000-5000 would buy you back home. And if you really need to bootstrap, it is possible to live down here on $500/month.

If that doesn’t catch your attention how about…

. 0% income tax

. Affordable home ownership

. A boost in social status/ dating market

. Freedom from petty lawsuits and the overreaching hand of the government

. A fascinating network of people from all over the world

. Organic, non GMO food, that is cheaper than most junk food.

. A safe and self sustaining region of the world in the event of a global crisis

. Finding a tradicional partner that both needs and wants you

. Financial independence at a fraction of what you thought possible

. Early retirement

These are just a few of the reasons why I have relocated to Latin America (specifically Paraguay)

Many blogs will try to sell you on the why, but they don’t go into the how.

This blog is different in the sense that I will go deep into the logistics of becoming an expat.

Everything from residencies, real estate, travel tips, credit cards, medical care, cheap flights, getting a second passport, taxes, language, the local culture, and more.

So let’s get started…
