We created this website for Canadians. Specifically, for the many hundreds of thousands of Gen X’ers ages 44 to 64 who are either 40+ and feeling burnt out, 50+ and approaching the end of their working lives or just weary of six months of snow and ice. Planet Expat may hold the answer for you.

As Canadians who have lived in Asia for nearly 20 years, we have first hand experience across the region and have asked all the critical questions that you may have.  Can it really cost 50% less?  How do I get there?  What are the best flights?  Is the health care good, great or gory? How do I get a visa and which one?  What about taxes in country and at home?  Is it safe, is the government stable?  Are there people like me there, a community?  Do they speak English?  Should I consider long term or short term?  Above all, which country and which destinations are the right places for me?

We answer all these questions, both the hard and the soft ones. No one else does who knows Canada and her people.  We also know that hundreds of thousands of Gen X’ers in Canada are not financially prepared for the impending end to their working lives.  Many are staring down the barrel of an underfunded retirement.  We can help guide you from six months of grey skies, snow and ice to bright blue skies, white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. And, we can show you how that life can be had for much less of your money than it will cost at home.

This website and its stories and guides, our books and seminars may just hold the right answer for you.  Come and see.
