Travel Tips and Long-Term Rental Q&A with Suzan Haskins

[PJRICHER 0]

Hi! Sorry for this it's a tech question. Right after clicking on the link to come here I got an email from no-reply@il.nodebb.com telling me to click on a link to "verify my account". Is this from IL and should I comply? Thanks!

I am looking for good universities that teach at least a good portion in English so I can add new knowledge and skills in a safe environment. Preferably low tax and amenable to Dr Greger's vegetarian diet recommendations and very good air quality. The IL books tend to fixate on Europe what about Malaysia or the like?

My husband and i are thinking about moving to another country. Portugal, Ireland and Panama are our top three. What is the best advice you would give us?

I have heard that the best way to negotiate a rental price is to speak directly to rhe owner rather than a real estate agent. Is it fairly easy to find out who owns the property?

I'm planning a slow tour of Europe for later this year, probably: Ireland, Scotland, and Britain to start off, and I'll be looking for moderately long stays in these countries. Other than Airbnb, where would you recommend looking?

HI Alan, you will be going in rainy season, so keep that in mind...but that's okay, anytime is a good time for Panama. Not sure what you'd like me to answer but if you are looking for a place to stay, you can start by looking on AirBnB, VRBO, etc. Another option is to look at local realtor websites—they often have rentals. Look by location...in other words, Google “rentals Boquete, Panama.” Another good resource is Facebook. I’m a member of a group called “Panama Real Estate Buy Sell Rent” and you’ll often find properties there. And join specific Facebook groups such as “Expats in Boquette, Panama” and ask for rental agent recommendations.

I'll offer similar advice as I did to Alan researching Panama. Start start by looking on AirBnB, VRBO, etc. Also look at local realtor websites—they often have rentals. Look by location...in other words, Google “rentals Edinbrough.” Another good resource is Facebook. But do a good amount of research on taking pets. At one time, the UK had a quarantine requirement. Not sure if that is still in effect, but you will want to find out.
