Mika Douglas is retired and is living in Renaca, Chile, a small beach community along the central Chilean coast, 180 kilometers from Santiago.

As we have experienced, having someone who can help with the myriad of questions and issues that arise with relocation, makes a huge difference in achieving a new “quality of life”. Formerly, Mika spent over thirty years working for “Corporate America” in Strategic Planning, Marketing and the Sales of products and services throughout Scandinavia, Europe and the Pacific Rim.
