International Living Review


This is not for people looking for travel advice. This magazine, and organization, is for those looking to move out of the U.S.(or Canada). I didn’t have time to spend checking out each country south of Mexico-this magazine does the leg work, and after a couple of years of reading it, my search was narrowed down to a few countries. I did buy in 2 of the countries they recommended, although not in developments they have highlighted. And I haven’t gone on any of their conventions, due to time and money. One of the properties is rented, and I got everything I was expecting. The other property I have had a problem renting, but I am pleased about the location, the property itself, and everything except the inability to find a management company. I have corresponded with their staff about my properties, and have always gotten a quick, courteous response. Their Owner’s Manuals have given me a quick start in each area I visited.

The comment about an editor marrying a developer I believe is referring to someone who has left IL and is now running her own company-Live and Invest Overseas. I get her email newsletter also, as it gives another view point on the areas I’m interested in.

I also get newsletters from several expat organizations. For the price (I pay only 1/2 of what it costs here), IL magazine gives concise info that I don’t think one can put together without going to a particular country. So what if they also make $ advertising? Just ignore it! Mark the emails as spam, and you’ll never see them again!

I was amazed at the lack of poverty in the areas IL recommended. I have seen a whole lot more poverty out my Los Angeles office window, and down in Tijuana, then I have seen in the South and Central American areas I have visited:San Jose, CR; Panama; Ecuadorian Andes; Lima; Peruvian Andes; Brazil’s Central coast. So when IL highlights an area, I think it’s worth considering if it meets your lifestyle demands, without worrying about how poor the area might be. And the magazine covers all kinds of lifestyles-living w/ or w/out other Americans, beach, mountains, tropical, big city, small city, rural etc.

So if you want to save time deciding where you might look to live, this magazine can narrow down the options. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth from it.

Colorado Biz Review


This magazine is progressive and insightful. The editorial design is top quality. It’s fun and challenging. It avoids the typical business mediocrity in regional publications.
Oh, by the way, I am the Art Director of this magazine, so my review might be a little biased. Sorry.

The business publication for the Colorado & Rocky Mt. regions. Colorado Biz lets you in on what’s happening on the whole state’s business scene. The movers. The shakers. The data. The winners. The losers.

Russian Life

Russian Life Review


Russian Life provides a fascinating mix of articles in each issue on things reasonably related to Russia. Some stories cover current events, others delve into recent and ancient history.

All articles are very well illustrated and are written at a level that can appeal to both the casual and the dedicated Russophile. I enjoy the magazine on one level, and my Russian born wife enjoys it on a very different level, with the main point in common being that we both read it from cover to cover.

I love the short little factoids that they also include each issue, and even find the advertisements interesting!

Lastly, they have an annual Russian calendar that I’ve been buying in copious quantities each year – excellent for personal use and for gifts! A great magazine from a great company, and about a once-great and potentially great-again country.

Russian Life Overview

A bi-monthly magazine of Russian culture, history, travel, cuisine and life. Colorfully illustrated. Refreshingly honest.

I decided to check out this magazine when I came across it because I love England and all things English. I have been there a couple of times and would like to see more of England in my future travels. This magazine helps me learn about the different cities and towns in England and gives me a better idea of where I would like to go. Currently, I am not planing a trip, but I still enjoy reading about the things going on all over in the UK.
