#1- What about becoming an Expat in Portugal? Yes, if you've noticed, in the last few years expat rags and social media have been promoting Portugal as a great Plan B. Well, sorry to say, unless you have a nice fat nest- egg or great pension above and beyond social security you will never make ends meet.   #2- The truth about modern-day backpackers: You might be surprised to hear that in today's world it’s not like the backpacking days of old…   #3- 1st World American women neuroticisms versus 3rd World Latina neuroticisms: They're on a totally different scale...   #4- How will you react when your Latina girlfriend asks to scroll through and inspect YOUR smart phone?   #5- How Expats and gringos are handling the continuing power outages in Ecuador (or not):   #6- Why suddenly, many of those expensive private bilingual helicopter schools are in trouble and closing:   #7- Our own Expat Captain Mango has developed a unique one-on-one Crypto consulting and training service (he’s been deep into crypto since 2013). To get started, email him at: bewarecaptainmango@gmail.com    #8- Be sure to pick up my newly updated, "LATIN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REPORT": The new edition for 2026 (and beyond) is available now, including the latest "Stem Cell Clinic" info and data and my top picks for the best treatment centers for expats and gringos.
