I just attended the Ultimate Go Europe…
I just attended the Ultimate Go Europe Bootcamp offered by International Living. It was jam-packed with sessions on various countries and expertise. It gave me a lot to think about and guidance on what to consider in making a move. If you are thinking of making a move to another country, even part time, I highly recommend this group. They also do due diligence on every company that is part of the conference. Love it.

Very educational
I learned a lot about what was involved in moving abroad. I was very naive about what it would take. The speakers revealed a lot of things I hadn’t even been aware of.

International Living's Ultimate Go Overseas Bootcamp 2025
IL's Ultimate Go Overseas Bootcamp 2025 in Las Vegas.
It was pretty good. All the speakers were pretty good & the descriptions matched what they said. I was REALLY surprised to meet people who had attended this conference for several years....why hadn't they moved abroad yet?
My biggest takeaway was to use FACEBOOK to join expat groups in the places you are thinking of going. I learned a little about Albania, 5 minutes worth at the conference, and ended up moving there 7 months later, fairly prepared, I think.
The conference was a little investment-heavy - things I don't need. There were times when investing was the only option for a breakout - like 5 different ones on investing and nothing else. Would like to have the opportunity to learn other things rather than skipping the conference for those times.

Bait and switch. Expect pro Trump propaganda
I am interested in moving to Portugal when I retire so they targeted me with an ad on Facebook and I signed up to receive their emails. Incessant email nearly daily, but it was relevant so it didn't bother me that much.
And then they sent me some stupid political email with predictions about the election outcome. The content was very skewed towards Donald Trump. Clearly, they support a twice-impeached 34 time convicted felon, who tried to overthrow our democracy.
Stay away from these people. They are completely shady.

Hi,
Thank you for your message; we hear you, and I’m sorry for the disappointment.
The mailing you mentioned was from a partner publisher and doesn’t reflect International Living’s views. We understand your frustration—it was a departure for us, and we’re taking this feedback seriously.
Our goal is to keep politics out of our content and instead connect readers who see the world as a place of opportunity, regardless of political views.
I understand if you’re hesitant to return, but if you’re open to it, I’d like to offer you a year’s free membership in our IL Alliance. This includes 12 months of IL’s Daily Postcards, IL magazine, and Untourist Dispatches—no auto-renew or strings attached. Just reach out to CS, and we’ll set it up.
Thank you for giving us a chance to make it right.
Warm regards,

As with other reviewers - It’s a SCAM
As with other reviewers, and former subscribers, I was very disappointed by what a scam International Living is. They constantly send you emails and snail-mails hocking some BS investments. As others have also said, it is not easy to quit their scam. Shame on them.

What a scam!
What a scam!! Everything written in your basic subscription (I was foolish enough to extend from a 1-year to a 2-year, for savings) is referred to generically, in order to get you to pay extra for details! This is the most complex labyrinth of pay-extra story-telling - even while I was trying to finalize my subscription (which I have written to ask to have cancelled - within 5 days of paying for 2 years, which I will NEVER USE! Guess what? No reply, regarding my requested refund! I am now going to contact my credit card company to file a complaint & redemption), they inundated my computer with about a dozen pay-more offers - "Don't leave yet", "Here is an extra, exclusive offer!", etc.
Do yourself a favour & google topics you're interested in - International Living has been driving me CRAZY, for almost two weeks now!!

I subscribed
I subscribed, hoping to get a little information about living abroad. First, everything is presented through rose-colored glasses. Second, I did not get a magazine series that provides information. What I really did is pay to have my name added to a list of grifters. I get 3, 4, 5.. emails a day asking me to pay for something new. Also, these so-called experts have an agenda larger than money. Many are climate change-denying, MAGA-ish folks who have a political agenda. I would NOT advise subscribing to this drivel.

PROMISES ARE A LIE: Nothing is Free, esp. Their Gifts
I subscribed to the mag for several years. September 2023 I attended "Go Abroad" seminar in Denver $950. Left seminar head spinning with so many conflicting details. It was impossible to sort out answers to the questions I had about taxes and moving. One speaker would say taxes are offset by credits then the next speaker would say USCitizens are on the hook. Reference materials were outdated and mostly reprints from previously published articles. They push risky investment strategies like crypto and creating LLC to avoid taxes. Worst of all, they never stop trying to sell you staff by using the cheapest tactics...long emails promising a free book only if you pay for something. LIES! Nothing is given

Hello JK,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I understand that there was a lot of information presented at the Denver conference, and it can be overwhelming to sort through it all.
As an attendee, all of the information from the seminar is still available to you, and you also have access to the speakers' bios in the workbook you received. This will allow you to reach out to them directly to discuss your specific situation and get tailored advice for your circumstances. If you no longer have the workbook, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at CSsupervisor@internationalliving.com, and I’d be happy to look into your account and see how I can best assist you.
We know that moving abroad involves many considerations, especially when it comes to taxes, and I’m here to help in any way I can, putting you in contact with the right people.
Thank you again for sharing your experience.

DON’T USE THIS TRAVEL PLATFORM
This company will NOT work with you.
If you have an issue… you might as well talk to the moon. Their customer service representatives relay information to a person who emails you back… absolutely no conversation. If you need to use a platform to help educate you about living outside your country… do yourself a favor… don’t use International Living.

It's impossible to cancel a subscription! The only way for me to contact them is through their online form to which I have yet to receive an answer three days later. Contacting them via phone is not possible as I'm in Europe. The contact form doesn't even work on mobile, only desktop. Ridiculous! I've now contacted my bank and it looks like I'll have to cancel my card in order to avoid paying for another year!

Waste of time marketing hub
I
After receiving a number of emails for several weeks now and clicking on links to check out what sounds like interesting topics the site provides very little information. The emails you sent of personal experiences seem scammy. They take what sound initially like personal stories of people living abroad but mysteriously omit the name of the countries they're living in! These are just marketing come-ons. Even the "free report" links are useless. Their resources appear more to sell things than give the viewer useful information and it's a ridiculous waste of time.

I ordered a Spanish Language course through International Living. After my payment cleared they were supposed to send me the code to access the course.
They gave a 30 day money back guarantee. It has been two weeks since my order and despite my repeated calls and emails I have not received my access codes. When you can all Internation Living they give no answers and state that the Course Provider will respond within 24 hours. If course International Living only acts as an agent and can't process a refund. I think it's a scam to take me beyond the 30 day refund period.

False Claims
How to cruise around the globe in a luxury cabin for only $37 per day. Glamorous entertainment, elegant balcony cabins, and cruisers love the five-star treatment: “the service was just perfect”.
This and all the other LURES are nonsense. I was a long time subscriber and I am a long time, long rang cruiser. These claims are to have you sign up. There are laws I believe to prevent these false claims. If I am incorrect, please feel free to contact me privately or publicly giving a SINGLE example.

Hi Eamon,
Thanks for taking the time to share your views, we certainly welcome all feedback. In our popular travel book called: Secrets Travel Writers Never Share, we shared a resource that cruisers can use to access deals they won’t find on any cruise company’s website…
For example, this resource is currently offering awesome cruise deals like a cruise from Genoa, Italy to Miami from $25 per night, or another cruise from Miami to Valencia, Spain starting at $31 per night, and a cruise from Southampton, England to Fort Lauderdale, Florida at $45 per night for a balcony room. Along with thousands more cruise deals like these and for all budgets too.
Because here at International Living, we have a team of over 300 travel writers and travel experts always looking for the best overseas experiences for the best price, and our legal team makes sure every claim we publish is backed up.
Our members who paid the $49 for our digital book got a further 100 more travel tips just like this one inside, along with access to our members-only website for the year, and our popular overseas living magazine. And you're welcome to become a member too and give it a try with our 30-day risk-free trial to see for yourself...
I hope this is helpful.
