THE REST OF THE STORY

Dear International Living Reader,

Every day in our IL E-letter, we report to you on the best travel, real estate, retirement, and investment opportunities our editors, correspondents, and friends are uncovering--as they uncover them.

This is up-to-the-minute reporting...insights, tips, recommendations, and finds sent to you in real time.

But, because we deliver these "postcards," as we call them, to you almost as soon as we receive them ourselves...there's not much time for in-depth, detailed coverage. We give you a glimpse of a place...a kernel of an idea...but don't have time to develop it.

My point is this: Our IL E-letter is only the beginning. While we pack it with useful and valuable information every day...there's always a lot more to every story.

If you like what you're getting in the IL daily E-letter, I think you will enjoy--and benefit from--a subscription to the monthly print edition of International Living as well. The print version gives you not only complete, in-depth coverage on the opportunities you're reading about every day in the E-letter...but it also features full-length reports on many places and opportunities not covered in the E-letter.

International Living has been called "The best publication in the world for anyone interested in traveling, investing, living, or retiring overseas." In my (completely biased) opinion, I'd have to agree. Even if I weren't the publisher, I would be a loyal reader. Frankly, no one else reports on the world the way we do.

Furthermore, when you subscribe to the print edition of International Living, you get a lot more than a monthly newsletter, including:

• The Quality of Life Index, published every January, which rates and ranks the quality of life in every country in the world. This annual Index is unique. It is referred to and quoted often in the world press.
• The Global Retirement Index, published every September, which ranks and compares the world's top 20 retirement destinations.
• Two special Travel Round-ups...giving full details on the world's top 10 bargain travel destinations...and the world's top 10 adventure and specialty travel destinations.

Plus, when you subscribe, we'll send you:

• Free Report #1: How to Live, Do Business, or Retire in 6 of the World's Most Beautiful and Affordable Offshore Edens. If you've ever thought about living, retiring, or investing overseas, it would be a mistake to do it without first taking a look at this recently updated reference. In it you'll find everything you need to know (from the best places to stay and eat...to how to contact the most trustworthy real estate agents, lawyers, contractors, etc.) in our favorite destinations...the destinations that make most sense if you're thinking of living, traveling, or investing abroad.
• Free Report #2: "The World's Four Best Places to Invest in Real Estate--or, How to Earn Profits of 500% and More Outside the Stock Market. If you feel as uneasy about the U.S. stock market as we do, you may want to diversify--into overseas real estate. It's a lot less complicated than you may think...a lot more fun than stocks and mutual funds...and potentially a lot more profitable as well. In this special report, we'll give you complete details on four emerging markets set to take off in a big way.
• Free Report #3 (when you subscribe for two years): How to Get the Best Deal on Every Airfare You Buy. If you were to ask six people sitting in the same section of an airplane, all taking the same flight, what each paid for his ticket...you'd likely get six different replies. Because as any frequent traveler knows, the price you pay for air travel has little to do with the number of miles you're flying. It has to do with how savvy a shopper you are. Learn how to make the complicated and confusing world of the airline industry...and its ever-changing pricing systems...work to your benefit.
• A $100 TRAVEL VOUCHER, good for a discount of $100 off any tour, conference, or program on our International Living Discovery Tours calendar.

A DIFFERENT WORLD

You read about one side of the world in your daily paper...you see it on TV newscasts. Murders, Wars. Airplane crashes. Politics.

But there is another side of the world...one you can't find out about by reading the paper, certainly not by watching TV.

It is a world of opportunities...opportunities for fun...pleasure...financial security and profits...romantic discoveries...adventure...

It is a world full of things you can do to make your life more fun--and more profitable.

It is the world of International Living.

I must emphasize that this world is available to anyone...not just the rich and famous. That's one of the reasons we publish International Living...to show you how to benefit from the rich rewards of an international, "jet-set" lifestyle...without spending a fortune.

International Living will tell you:

• How you can cover your travel expenses (and then some) to many places simply by shopping for bargains--electronics in Taiwan, clothing in Hong Kong, gemstones in Brazil and Colombia, antique furniture and oil paintings in Great Britain, horses in Ireland, blankets in Mexico, leather goods in Uruguay, watches in Switzerland... Some people not only pay their expenses this way...they make a living at it!
• About almost unbelievable ways to cut your travel expenses. By flying as a courier you can save up to 50% on airfare...save hundreds of dollars by purchasing tickets from consolidators and bucket shops...get discounts--even commissions--by being your own travel agent.
• About retirement havens where you can stretch your money beyond all recognition. Live like a king on a tradesman's pension. If you look beyond your own shores, you'll find that many countries around the world offer far greater benefits and advantages for retirees than does your own. Get the full reports on the countries that make most sense for the would-be retiree interested in living well...for much, much less.
• About which overseas stock markets have been the best-performing over the last few years...and which are poised for profits right now.

As I mentioned earlier, my point is simple: In your daily IL E-letter, we are only able to skim the surface of the opportunities, adventures, money-making and money-saving strategies the world has to offer. In every issue of International Living, we go further...we dig deeper...we give you the full report.

For every article, we draw from the best sources and contacts available...including our own extensive network of more than 500 writers and correspondents. Each issue contains in-depth research that it would cost you hundreds of dollars and hours of your time to compile on your own.

International Living is your passport to a brighter, more exciting, more adventuresome future. I make that statement sincerely. And I urge you to take advantage of this special opportunity to become a subscriber. This is the only way you will receive an invitation. International Living is not available on newsstands.
