276: Mikkel’s Travel Chronicles – Unforgettable Adventures

The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

In today’s episode, I am going to share with you a compilation of the best chronicles of my travels from this year on the Expat Money Show. This past year has been full of great opportunities to visit a bunch of new countries. Longtime listeners know how much I love travelling and exploring the world, so I thought we would give you a bit of a highlight reel of some of the places that I got to see and some of the insights that I learned from the past year of travels. As you all know, I don’t pull punches or mince words - so this episode features stories of all varieties - the good, the bad and yes, even the ugly. Enjoy!

CONCLUSION

This year has been one of the most active travel years I’ve had in recent memory, and certainly the most travel I’ve done since the ‘scamdemic.’ And I got to inch closer to my goal of visiting every country in the world with first-time visits to places like Armenia, Azerbaijan and Paraguay. I am just beginning to make plans for various exploratory trips and client tours for 2024, and you can rest assured you’ll hear about all of them right here on the Expat Money Show. See you all next Wednesday!

JOIN US IN PANAMA - FLY'N BUY TOUR

Beginning of Q4, 2024, the Panama government has already stated that they are increasing the investment minimums for immigration from $300k to $500k for real estate; we also expect them to make this process more difficult! Because of this, I have decided to run a few quick trips to Panama for our community. Seeing the real estate in Panama is an important part of the due diligence process, that’s why I would like to pay for you to join me in Panama. All you have to do is sign up for the tour at https://expatmoney.com/fly, pay for the tour, and if you end up finding a property that fits your needs on the trip, then the amount you paid for the tour PLUS your airfare (up to $1000 USD) will be taken off the purchase price, making the entire tour and flights essentially free for you. Why am I offering you this awesome deal? Because my hope is you will hire me and my lawyers to do your immigration work! Our company has helped hundreds of people successfully go through the immigration process in Panama, and we do an excellent job, if I do say so myself. This is a service we offer to everyone in our community, but you have to choose a good property that will qualify you first.
