#1 - What you need to know about water and your own personal water supply in Latin America
#2 - Decades ago, many young gringos came down to Latin America for a month or two, determined to save the world. Now Flash forward to 2016: They're older and wiser but still have traces of that “Do gooder instinct." After years stress and slogging away on the US treadmill, They've had it and want to retire back in Latin America - Hoping to recapture the simple, rustic life they recall from so long ago. But 30 years is a long time... It's not colds showers, coconuts, campfires and coleman lanterns anymore
#3 - Language dunces unite!! Some lucky Expats (Maybe 10%) pick up foreign languages with ridiculous ease... Damn, don't you just hate people like that? Unfortunately most gringos, like yours truly, are born language dunces. So until someone invents a language pill, we continue to struggle on. However, the good news is that I've personally stumbled on some great, simple, unorthodox tips for language blockheads like me. So today you'll be hearing about some big time and aggravation savers that I wish I had discovered decades ago.

STRATEGY. TODAY WE’VE GOT THE DOPE ON WHAT IT TAKES TO GET URUGUAYAN
RESIDENCY. YES, IT USED TO BE FAST, CHEAP AND EASY BUT AFTER LISTENING
TO TODAY’S SHOW YOU MAY CHANGE YOUR MIND
#2- BY NOW YOU PROBABLY
KNOW GRINGOS AND EXPATS NEED A CLEAN POLICE/SHERIFF/OR FBI REPORT TO
APPLY FOR RESIDENCY IN ANY LATIN COUNTRY. WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IS
AFTER THAT TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT RESIDENCY PERIOD RUNS ITS COURSE
YOU’LL NEED ANOTHER POLICE REPORT TO MOVE ON TO THE PASSPORT AND
NATIONALIZATION STEP. YOU’LL NEED TO GET ONE FROM YOUR CHOSEN LATIN
COUNTRY. NORMALLY NOT A PROBLEM. BUT WHAT IF SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE
YOU END UP WITH A STAIN ON THAT POLICE RECORD(LIKE A DUI)? WHAT THEN?
