In this episode, I sit down with Rob Terenzi, COO of El Dorado — a fast-growing stablecoin-focused superapp that's making USD payments, crypto on-ramps, and low-cost financial tools accessible across Latin America.

From his days as a corporate lawyer at Wilson Sonsini (where he helped tech and venture deals) to co-leading a platform that's powering remittances and everyday finance in countries like Honduras and Nicaragua, Rob shares the vision behind El Dorado, the challenges of building in LATAM's regulatory and economic landscape, and why stablecoins are a game-changer for the region.

We dive into how El Dorado is expanding financial access for unbanked and underbanked users, the future of dollarization via crypto, lessons from traditional finance, and practical insights for anyone interested in fintech, crypto adoption, or living/working in Latin America.

Whether you're a digital nomad, expat, investor, or just curious about the intersection of blockchain and real-world emerging markets, this conversation delivers actionable takeaways and a clear-eyed look at LATAM's crypto opportunity.

In this episode of My Latin Life, we sit down with Angela Blair Cadet, Spokeswoman for NTL Trust, a licensed agent specializing in global mobility and Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs.

We dive deep into emerging and established CBI options:

• São Tomé and Príncipe's new Citizenship by Investment program: Launched in 2025, it offers one of the world's most affordable direct citizenship routes starting at US$90,000 (single applicant) via a contribution to the National Transformation Fund. Processing in as little as 6–8 weeks, no residency required, family inclusion (spouse, children under 30, parents over 55), dual citizenship allowed, and benefits like a neutral passport with visa-free access to 60+ countries (including Hong Kong, Singapore, Panama).
• Caribbean CBI programs (Antigua & Barbuda, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, St. Lucia): Focus on the popular real estate/property investment route—qualifying developments that deliver both second citizenship and potential rental yields or appreciation in luxury beachfront properties.

Angela shares on-the-ground insights from her travels across the Caribbean and São Tomé, including real property tours, program reliability, due diligence, family planning benefits, and why these options are gaining traction for high-net-worth individuals seeking Plan B passports, global mobility, tax advantages, and lifestyle freedom.

Whether you're exploring affordable citizenship under $100K or Caribbean real estate as an investment + passport strategy, this conversation breaks down the facts, timelines, costs, and real-world considerations.

In this no-holds-barred episode of the My Latin Life Podcast, I sit down with Jake Nomada—one of the OGs of long-term Latin America living (12+ years in the region, evolving from wild bachelor adventures to raising three kids with a local partner).

We get real about building and raising a family south of the border: stronger family values and tight-knit communities compared to the West, affordable elite private schools and quality healthcare, safety realities by country and neighborhood, raising bicultural kids, residency/tax strategies that keep it viable long-term, and why post-Covid we're seeing way more young families (not just retirees) make the leap.

(No sugarcoating here—Jake shares the upsides like toddler paradise vibes in some spots, plus the frustrations that test even the most patient parents.) If you're a digital nomad, entrepreneur, or expat eyeing family life in Latin America, this is essential listening.
