You’ve wondered:
“Could I actually live there?”

[Editor's Note: Once published, the exact title of a book gets linked to a specific ISBN (978-1539970613) in all industry databases; Therefore, the "2018" in the title at the time of the initial publication cannot be updated. Rest assured, however--as indicated on the new cover and here in the description--that you are ordering and will receive the 2026 update!]
No guesswork.
No outdated forum advice.
No costly trial-and-error.
Just clear, real-world guidance from someone who has helped people successfully relocate for nearly two decades.
The real cost of living — housing, food, utilities, transportation
• How Medicare, taxes, banking, and mail actually work
• Step-by-step relocation scenarios for retirees, workers, and remote earners
• Where to live — and which areas fit your lifestyle and budget
• Employment realities and income strategies
• Shipping, storage, and what to bring (and not bring)
• Social life, safety, culture, and daily adjustment
• Tinian, Rota, and the Northern Islands explained
• The answers to the most-asked relocation questions
All presented in an easy-to-use Q&A format so you can find what you need in seconds.
Most people who move to Saipan spend months — and thousands of dollars — figuring things out.
Readers of this book have:
Obtained their driver’s license
Found an apartment
Set up phone, internet, and mailbox
Bought and registered a car
—in as little as nine days.
• Retirees seeking an affordable tropical lifestyle under the U.S. flag
• Remote workers ready to escape the mainland grind
• Adventurous professionals planning a strategic relocation
• Serious researchers who want facts — not fantasy
Walt came to Saipan in 2006 after leaving a conventional career and built a new life helping others discover the island he now calls home.
If you’re dreaming about Saipan, researching a move, or preparing to take action, this guide will save you time, money, and frustration — and give you the confidence to do it right.
Your new life in the Pacific doesn’t begin at the airport.
It begins with the right information.
