CONCLUSION

This was a really interesting episode to record with Chad. When we met back in February and we said we would stay in touch, as we both live in Panama. With this lockdown due to the Coronavirus, the topic of Sovereignty kept coming up and SeaSteading is a great way to become Sovereign. As soon as the lockdown has been lifted, I'm going to take my family out to Linton Bay, and spend a few days relaxing on the beach, swimming in the sea and making new friends!

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
