Today, I bring to you a personal report of a portion of my month-long trip that I just returned from. As we focus on my time in Turkey, I will include an update on the citizenship by investment I am working on from there. While it was an incredible trip, it wasn’t all roses, as we had some challenges to face along the way. 

I don’t hold back - you’ll get the good, the bad and the ugly of my experience in Turkey, one of my favourite countries. Enjoy!

Well, that’s it for my trip to Turkey. While I went into this episode with the plan to discuss my entire trip, the conversation about Turkey and the efforts I am making to achieve my citizenship by investment was plenty enough to fill its own episode. 

In a perfect world, I’d only have positive things to report about the process, but one of the reasons I do these programs is to find the roadblocks so that my clients don’t have to. And rest assured, when it’s all said and done, I will be the owner of a Turkish passport.

If you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes glimpse into my experience in Turkey, leave a comment and let me know. I may very well follow this up with reports on my experiences in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, so stay tuned!

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy.
