Quick One Today (Tour Week)

I didn’t have the time to write a "standard" newsletter this week...

Hey guys,

I had every intention of writing you a full Brazil Beachfront newsletter as I have been doing twice-monthly for well over a year now…

However, it's just one of those weeks where the demands of everything we’ve built and are building take precedence over everything else.

I’m preparing to head back to Brazil this weekend, alongside an incredible group of freedom-minded individuals who said yes to joining our upcoming Exploration & Investment tour, which means, in addition to all my “regular weekly” responsibilities, I have been preparing to be on the ground in Brazil in just a few days’ time.  

But it also got me thinking…

Many of you have been reading this newsletter for a while now; you’ve seen the insights and the opportunities I share, and many of you have already made the savvy decision to invest alongside me. 

…but you might still be wondering:

Who is this guy really, and what exactly does he do?

So instead of a standard newsletter, I’m going to tell you exactly who I am, who I help, and why I’ve dedicated my life to this work. 

My name is Mikkel Thorup, and I’m the founder of Expat Money, a consulting firm that helps families and investors protect and secure their futures and finances through offshore strategies.

I left my home country of Canada when I was 17, and for over 25 years, I’ve been living, investing, and building a life beyond borders in search of better opportunities and more stable systems.

…and I did so long before anyone was even talking about Plan-Bs.

I knew that staying tied to one country, one system, one government, was a liability that could cost me everything if I didn’t find a better path.

So I went looking for real, durable, long-term solutions.

I studied law, tax, immigration, real estate investing (and development) and foreign markets… anything that could help me understand how to build a freer, more resilient life outside of traditional systems.

I’ve built businesses, forged partnerships, invested in off-market projects, and learned how to read a region’s long-term trajectory well before it shows up in the headlines.

…and I’ve built a life that reflects that work.

Though Panama is home, I have lived in nine countries and own real estate in ten.

My children were all born in different countries, not just because it’s interesting, but because I wanted them to receive second citizenships at birth. 

That’s the level of intentionality I bring to everything I do.

Through my work at Expat Money, I help families and investors who’ve already done the hard work of building their wealth, but now want it protected from governments and economic systems that no longer serve them as they once did.

I work with high-achieving people who think critically and can see the writing on the wall.

If you’ve ever thought about seriously creating an offshore Plan-B, protecting your assets, securing a second residency, or buying real estate in places like Brazil, I’m the one to call when it’s time to stop dabbling and start executing.

…and when we work together, it’s a deep, highly personalized process that includes private, weekly one-on-one strategy sessions that take place over the course of a full year.

Together, we cover everything from:

  • Tax minimization (legally reducing or eliminating your tax burden)

  • Residency & second citizenship pathways

  • Real estate acquisition in high-growth, freedom-friendly jurisdictions

  • Asset protection via trusts, holding companies, and offshore banking structures

  • Step-by-step implementation, tailored to your unique needs and desires

  • And much, much more…

Alongside my lawyers and accountants, we routinely help our clients legally save six figures on their taxes, avoid massive compliance traps, and move capital into safe jurisdictions while others remain stuck Googling “best second passport.”

When you work with me, you’re investing in decades of experience, a global network, and real-time implementation with someone who’s seen a lot, done a lot and is still out there doing it every single day.

So, if you’ve been wondering what I do, there you have it. 

I don’t offer magic bullets or escape fantasies.

I offer real, workable solutions to real problems.

The problems people like you face when 100% of your wealth and freedoms are tied to a single government or crumbling system.

ExpatMoney.com/Application if you have accumulated a reasonable level of wealth and want to protect it through a personalized offshore strategy.

And now, back to Brazil.

In the last few months, I’ve written you a half dozen or so newsletters about what’s happening in Brazil’s Northeast, but this week, I’m heading down there again, and I’m bringing a group of adventurous, freedom-seekers with me.

People who took action and reserved their seats on the tour will now be on the ground with me, side by side, for bucket-list-level experiences, sharing incredible meals, meeting my local partners, and exploring the investment opportunities I have hand-picked for their massive growth potential.

In the lead-up to this tour, a lot of people reached out asking: “Is Brazil safe?” or “What’s it really like on the ground?” So, at the last minute, I hosted a livestream to address it head-on.

You can watch the full replay by visiting this page here: ExpatMoney.com/Webinar.

*You’ll find the Brazil Livestream Replay under the section titled “Latest Presentations”.

Do yourself a favour and watch the replay in its entirety (especially if you have been hesitant to travel internationally) to places that the media has wrongly branded as “risky.”

Mikkel
