Press Room

Welcome to the International Living Press Room. Here you will find recent news updates to assist you in your research on overseas travel, living, retirement, and real estate.

Since 1979, International Living has operated on a simple premise: We believe our readers can live better...for less...travel farther...have a lot of fun...and maybe make a lot of money...when they expand their world beyond their own shores. Our job is to help our readers discover places that are under-valued...under-appreciated...under-developed...places that the masses have yet to find. And then to help them understand how they can take advantage of the opportunities these places offer—to improve their quality of life...to lower their cost of living...and to invest for profitable return—before the rest of the world catches on.
