You need a “story” when you move to a new place. Some identity that the people you’ll meet can latch on to. A way to fit in.
That’s been my experience, both in Malta and Mexico. When I first moved from Washington, D.C., to Gozo, the smaller of the Maltese Islands, I was a curiosity. Had I tried to explain that I was moving someplace interesting, exploring the world, escaping U.S. politics, my story would, no doubt, have elicited blank stares.

This is a question we’re often asked by new IL readers. Our answer is always the same: You may have the money…and not know it.
If you’re dreaming of an apartment in Panama...a beach house in Brazil...a farmhouse in Italy...and the only thing holding you back is lack of capital...read on.

At IL events, I'm often asked this: "Can I really make a living from travel writing? Air fares are costly—then there's hotels, food, and everything else. It's all right for you, Steenie. IL pays you to visit exotic places."
So they do, but I'm still a freelancer (which leaves me free to flaunt my wares elsewhere). I've just written a 450-word piece on Malta for a European magazine. Payment is €150 ($225).

Imagine your sweetheart’s reaction to a rose-pink pashmina, hand-loomed in Nepal. She’ll never guess this cashmere and silk creation cost you only $9.
Too expensive? Being a cheapskate myself, I agree. Why traipse the Himalayas when you can buy pashminas direct from China for $4.32?
