Established in 2008, Live and Invest Overseas is the vision of Publisher Kathleen Peddicord.
Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live and invest overseas beat for almost 30 years and is considered the world’s foremost authority on overseas retirement. She has traveled to more than 50 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.
Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland…then to Paris, France…and, most recently, to Panama City, where she, her husband Lief Simon, and their young son currently make their home and base their Live and Invest Overseas business.
Kathleen was Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the International Living group for 23 years. She moved on from that role in 2007.
Today, Kathleen writes a weekly retire-overseas blog for U.S. News & World Reports and Huffington Post and is regularly quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, The Economist, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television and has written innumerable books (including a new one “How To Buy Real Estate Overseas” for Wiley and Sons to be released in March 2013), reports, and essays on where and how you can escape the retirement-tromping economy at home and live like royalty on a modest budget…invest for profits overseas ahead of the crowds…and secure your dream retirement in the world’s best destinations.
