NTL Trust - Seeking Europe Elsewhere - Panama City, Asunción & Montevideo

Europe, Elsewhere: Panama City, Asunción & Montevideo 

South America’s Classiest Capitals for living well and investing wisely 

We are all looking for travel destinations that are new and exciting, but when thinking of long-term living, locations that feel like home are on top of the list. A trio of cities is emerging for those seeking a place not so different from European feel: Panama City, Asunción, and Montevideo are proving that the best of continental living: vibrant culture, luxury markets, and timeless architecture can now be found much closer to the equator. 

These capitals aren’t just beautiful places to live. They also offer residency by investment opportunities, thriving real estate markets, and a unique sense of home away from home in a shifting global landscape. Whether you’re looking to relocate, retire, or simply live well with options, these are destinations worth knowing. 

Panama City: Latin America’s Manhattan with a Soul 

A hub of finance, food, and forward-thinking infrastructure, Panama City is sleek and grounded all at once. With direct flights to Europe and North America, a stable US dollar economy, and a Friendly Nations Visa (including real estate options), Panama City is not only about good life, but also about good investment. 

From ocean-view penthouses to historic Casco Viejo restorations, property here is in demand. Add low taxation, modern banking, and a top-ranked global expat experience, and you’ll see why Panama is one of the few places where urban energy meets private island calm where owning a home can be your path to permanent residency. 

Asunción: South America’s Hidden Capital of Calm 

Tucked along the Paraguay River, Asunción is a slow burn. It's quiet, understated, and yet full of opportunity. It’s also home to a very accessible permanent residency program, with clear, simple requirements and long-term value. 

Real estate here is still priced well below the regional average, with colonial villas, new condominiums, and green developments offering room to grow. Investors appreciate the low entry points, light bureaucracy, and freedom to live (or rent out) without fuss. It is ideal for those seeking a strategic Plan B with a soft landing. 

Montevideo: Europe Reimagined in the Southern Cone 

If Paris and Lisbon had a quieter cousin with Atlantic views and more sunshine, it might be Montevideo. Uruguay’s capital offers refined architecture, a café culture, strong institutions, and some of the most secure property laws in the region. It’s also the safest country in South America, with a growing high-end market. 

Beachfront property is up 12%, wine regions are booming, and Montevideo now boasts over 100 residential developments catering to discerning buyers. Better yet, Uruguay offers a clear path to residency and eventual citizenship, especially for those who choose to invest, settle, and stay a while. Live in a country that respects privacy, celebrates culture, and rewards long-term commitment. 

European feel without the European hassle 

For the modern global citizen, choosing where to live is just the beginning. In Panama City, Asunción, and Montevideo, you can easily achieve everything you value in Europe plus a whole new continent of culture, luxury and opportunities. NTL Trust can help you navigate your new life in South America as the options are many and you need the right advisor to help you find your perfect spot. It is essential to do residency process with the help of a licensed professional, and NTL Trust has on-ground experience and presence in all three capitals. These destinations offer more than charm; they offer options: to invest, to belong, to build a new chapter rooted in elegance, efficiency, and future-readiness.  

NTL Trust welcomes contact from individuals seeking increased security and personal freedom, as well as their professional advisers such as lawyers or family offices with whom we are very accustomed to working.

Volta Magazine: From Shipping to Positive Psychology – A Journey of Self-Actualisation

Chryssanthi Sofrona-Kalogeropoulou - Master Positive Pshychology Coach / Mental Health Consultant
From Shipping to Positive Psychology – A Journey of Self-Actualisation

Chryssanthi Sofrona is a woman who dared to redefine her life. After 23 years of a successful career in the demanding field of shipping, as the head of legal and insurance departments for major companies in Piraeus and Cape Town, she decided to follow her true passion: Psychology. She began her studies and training in evidence-based Coaching, Applied Positive Psychology, and Coaching Psychology (MSc, UEL), Counseling Therapy, as well as in the Analytical method of Psychotherapy, proving that it is never too late for change and transformation. Her deep desire to contribute to others has always been present in her life. However, despite her successful professional path, it didn’t provide her with the fulfillment she was seeking. The intense work environment, long working hours, and the constant need to perform led her to a turning point. Instead of settling, she listened to the voice within and took the bold step. Her experience in the business world helps her deeply understand the challenges faced by high-demand individuals. As a Master Positive Psychology Coach, she illuminates paths, encourages transformation, and helps people find their own balance and meaning in life. The blue butterfly, a symbol of evolution and inner strength, is her personal symbol. Just like it, Chryssanthi went through stages of doubt, preparation, and ultimately transformation. Today, through her scientific knowledge and personal journey, she helps others overcome fears and limitations, guiding them towards self-actualization and true "well-being."

Chrysanthi, what does Coaching mean to you?

Evidence-based coaching is a scientifically supported and structured practice. My own approach is grounded in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. Its aim is to help individuals grow holistically by clearly defining their vision across all areas of their lives…relationships, career, self-image, self-confidence, self-esteem, financial well-being—and to understand what truly matters to them. It encourages them to experience positive emotions, feel good about themselves, create practical steps, and overcome the obstacles that hold them back.

Is this what differentiates you from other Coaches?

Yes, because I have a deep understanding of the psychological mechanisms that govern human behavior. My training is not just a seminar-based certification; it is an academic foundation that allows me to provide meaningful support, not simple empowerment. My services are personalized, based on the client's needs, values, and personal motivations.

You have worked in the shipping industry. How did this experience help you become a more effective Coach?

Shipping is a world of high demands, competition, and constant challenges. I learned to manage crises and find solutions under pressure. This experience helped me better understand entrepreneurs and executives because I know firsthand the difficulties, they face in processing the leadership archetype. It also helped me become an effective Mentor for young executives who want to grow.

When did you realize you would close the chapter in the shipping industry?

When I reached the peak of my career, I realized something was missing. I had success, financial stability, recognition, but I didn’t have the deeper meaning I was seeking. Serving others had always motivated me, and I realized I wanted to work in a field that would have a direct and profound impact on people's lives.

 Was this an easy transition?

Not at all. I had to "rebuild" myself from scratch. I had to go back to school, study again, change roles and identity. It wasn’t just a career change; it was a personal transformation.

Tell us about the symbol of the butterfly, how does it represent you?

My symbol is the Blue Morpho, the largest butterfly in the world, in a vibrant blue color. I adopted it because, for me, it is the ultimate symbol of transformation. A creature that struggles within its dark cocoon, then emerges into the light as a beautiful, ethereal being. That’s how I perceive the process of personal growth. Change is neither simple nor painless, but it is necessary for us to evolve into the best version of ourselves.

What is the biggest challenge people face when they want to change?

The fear of the unknown. The insecurity of "what now?". But the truth is, when someone dares to step out of their cocoon, they will discover a strength they didn’t know they had and will evolve into a conscious, strong individual within society.

Is there a recipe for happiness?

Happiness is moments. It’s the ability to find joy in the present, to be grateful, to forgive, to accept and show compassion to yourself, and to develop healthy relationships. It’s not a destination, but an ongoing journey of evolution.

Your clients, as a Coach, are mostly high-profile individuals, such as politicians, entrepreneurs, executives, and celebrities. How does Coaching help them?

The truth is, I often collaborate with such individuals. The challenges and demands that come with public exposure, recognition, and success are significant. My role is to help fulfill their mission, help them manage the multiple roles they play, achieve and maintain performance, all while maintaining mental health, strength, and well-being. Recognition and success often bring out the shadow sides of human nature. Awareness and management of the dark side help the person remain balanced and allow their light to shine through.

You’ve worked with entrepreneurs operating in international environments. What are some of the unique challenges they face?

When an entrepreneur operates in an international environment, he or she is not only dealing with the pressure to succeed, but also with different cultures, expectations, and of course, the need to adapt to new circumstances. Now, I’m working with a Greek American entrepreneur who’s up to something significant in Greece, and one of his biggest challenges is balancing his own cultural background with the demands of the Greek reality. Managing the flow of information and energy is critical—and that’s precisely where Coaching comes in: among other things, to help establish boundaries that preserve the mental clarity needed to move forward.

The fact that you often accompany your clients on trips or during critical moments in their professional lives adds a very personalized dimension to the Coaching you offer. How does this affect the dynamic of your collaboration?

I don’t follow the typical structure of time and space in a session. My sessions usually last an hour and a half. Many times, I am physically present with my clients in real time, under conditions of pressure, during negotiations, or at key decision-making moments, where I can support them directly—not theoretically, but in practice. I also often hold sessions outdoors or in nature. All these differentiating elements are unique aspects of my work.

As we wrap up, is there a message you'd like to share with our readers?

Great things are never achieved without effort. The butterfly’s struggle to emerge from its cocoon is what strengthens its wings!

Beyond The View - The Structure Behind Seamless Living in Monaco

Beyond The View - The Structure Behind Seamless Living in Monaco

From the newest address in Monaco, the view from Mareterra is as striking as it is sought after. Yachts drift through the azure sweep of the Mediterranean. Morning light hits marble countertops. Somewhere in the background, a coffee machine hums quietly to life.

The children are getting ready for school. A nanny helps them with their shoes, guiding them toward the waiting lift. A housekeeper gives the living room one last glance, adjusting a curtain, polishing a surface, silencing the smallest trace of disorder. The private chef has already confirmed lunch preferences with the family office. On the terrace, everything glows with readiness.

This is the choreography of seamless living. And like all great performances, it only appears effortless.

The Quiet Architecture of Monaco Households

In Monaco, structure is more than good taste, it is a legal and cultural expectation. Behind every beautifully run residence is an intricate framework of registrations, declarations, and contributions, many of which were updated in 2024.

Monaco’s Caisses Sociales system governs how private employers declare and contribute on behalf of their household staff. It may not be visible from the terrace, but it is essential to sustaining the lifestyle it supports.

In January 2024, Monaco introduced the Caisse Monégasque de Retraite Complémentaire (CMRC), a fully domestic complementary pension scheme. Designed to simplify and centralise the retirement framework for private employees, the CMRC is now part of the mandatory structure for anyone employing nannies, housekeepers, butlers, chefs, or other private staff in the Principality.

Where Luxury Meets Compliance

Legal obligations are not a merely formality in Monaco, they are a reflection of professionalism, integrity, and long-term thinking. Employers are expected to register with the Caisse de Compensation des Services Sociaux (CCSS) and declare roles, salaries, and contracts for each staff member in full accordance with the Principality’s regulations.

The current legal minimum salary, revised in November 2024, is €2,007.72 per month for a full-time employee, based on a 39-hour workweek. Separately, the Caisses Sociales sets a declaration base of €1,507, which applies even to part-time or lower-paid roles for contribution purposes.

But in truth, those numbers are rarely reflective of the real Monaco market.

The Cost of Excellence

Domestic staff in Monaco are highly skilled professionals, many of whom have trained in international households, embassies, or royal residences. Their expectations, and the expectations of those who employ them, are equally high.

In practice, net hourly rates range from €15 to €30, depending on the role and the level of responsibility. These figures reflect the cost of attracting and retaining staff who offer discretion, consistency, and grace under pressure.

Families who compensate fairly enjoy stability and loyalty. Those who do not often find their staff quietly moving on to other households where their expertise is recognised.

What Family Offices Should Know

The responsibility of compliance often falls to the family office, the private accountant, or the Chief of Staff. Payroll declarations, working hours, contract terms, and changes in employment status must all be properly reported through the Caisses Sociales portal.

Beyond that, employers must carry insurance policies for workplace accidents, a non-negotiable requirement in Monaco that protects both employer and employee. While many overlook this step, the legal and reputational risks of not being covered are significant.

Transparency Without the Complexity

For many families, one of the greatest points of confusion is the difference between net and gross salary. Offers are often made in net terms, but the final gross cost, after contributions, bonuses, and insurance, can be significantly higher.

At Platinum Nanny Limited, we believe in clarity from the outset. Official calculators are available, and we help families and their advisors understand the real cost of staffing, so there are no surprises.

Operational Luxury: Managed With Intention

Hiring the right nanny or housekeeper is only the beginning. What follows is the creation of a household ecosystem that reflects the family’s values and needs.

This is why Platinum Nanny Limited also offers Chief of Staff and Virtual Executive Assistant services, designed to bring cohesion to households that span cities and time zones. Whether coordinating a relocation to Monaco or Dubai, overseeing staffing and HR for a newly acquired villa in Cap Ferrat, or setting up systems for a Monaco residence, we manage the details with precision and care.

We are available to our clients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and are regularly called upon for tasks both large and small, from sourcing yacht insurance to managing administrative transitions or onboarding and training new household staff.

Luxury Is the Harmony of Detail

The quietest luxury is a home that runs with ease. Behind the marble, the stillness, and the sea views lies a structure designed with intention.

For families who value freedom, consistency, and peace of mind, managing a household team properly is more than good governance—it is what allows life to move effortlessly. When the right structure is in place and your team is supported, everything works as it should. And when questions arise, trusted guidance is always close at hand.

To learn more about how Platinum Nanny Limited can support your Monaco household, through recruitment, compliance guidance, or full operational oversight, please contact our team directly. We are here to help your household run as seamlessly behind the scenes as it appears on the surface.

How to Help Reduce Your Risk of Dementia: 6 Lifestyle Changes That Really Work

How to Help Reduce Your Risk of Dementia: 6 Lifestyle Changes That Really Work

Dementia is a growing concern worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and their families. In the UK alone there are currently just under 1 million people with dementia, with this number projected to increase to 153 million globally, by 2050. 

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (or other types of dementia), and with age being the biggest risk factor, research does suggest that by adopting a brain-healthy lifestyle we can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline in later life. This, in turn, will significantly help to reduce the likelihood of developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in the future. 

Protecting your brain from cognitive decline can start early, and can be reinforced around the age of 35-40 when the hippocampus – a region of the brain responsible for learning and memory – starts to decline, as the brain starts to shrink. This is a natural progression of life, just as grey hair and wrinkles start to appear as we get older, the brain’s appearance also changes. It is however, never too late to start looking after your brain health. 

At Brain Health Network, we’ve created a guiding framework of six pillars with some of the world’s leading academics including Professor James Goodwin, former chief scientific officer at Age UK and Director of Science and Research Impact at Brain Health Network. These six pillars help to put into practice healthy habits to live by everyday, with each working to strengthen the physiology of the brain. By adopting these habits, you can help keep cognitive decline at bay.

Get Season Ready! How the Right Domestic Team Ensures Your Summer Residence Is Always Prepared

Get Season Ready! How the Right Domestic Team Ensures Your Summer Residence Is Always Prepared

Owning a summer residence in Europe’s most coveted destinations—such as the French Riviera, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, or Spain’s Costa del Sol—offers an idyllic retreat for relaxation and entertainment. Whether planning a spontaneous weekend escape or an extended seasonal stay, ensuring your home is perpetually ready requires the expertise of a dedicated domestic team. These professionals not only maintain the property’s pristine condition but also tailor the environment to your preferences, allowing you to fully enjoy your time away.

The Importance of a Dedicated Domestic Team

Maintaining a luxury summer residence involves more than routine upkeep; it necessitates a proactive approach to ensure the home is always guest-ready. A comprehensive domestic team typically includes:

Estate Manager: Oversees all property operations, coordinates maintenance, and manages staff to ensure seamless functionality.

Butler: Provides personalized service, manages household schedules, and oversees the serving of meals and beverages, ensuring guests’ needs are anticipated and met.

Private Chef: Prepares personalized meals that cater to your culinary preferences, sourcing local ingredients to create exquisite dining experiences.

Mixologist: Crafts bespoke cocktails for parties and gatherings, enhancing the entertainment experience with specialized beverage services.

Housekeepers: Maintain cleanliness and order, attending to daily chores and ensuring all living spaces are immaculate.

Nannies: Provide attentive childcare, engaging children with activities and ensuring their safety and well-being during the stay.

Gardeners: Keep outdoor areas, gardens, and pools in pristine condition, enhancing the property’s aesthetic appeal.

This team works in unison to create an environment where you can arrive at a moment’s notice and immediately feel at home.

Personalized Services for Immediate Comfort

 An exceptional domestic team anticipates your needs and preferences, ensuring the residence is tailored to your desires upon arrival:

Pre-Arrival Preparations: Stocking the kitchen with your preferred foods and beverages, setting ambient conditions to your liking, and arranging fresh flowers throughout the home.

Event Planning and Coordination: Organizing private gatherings, from intimate dinners to larger soirées, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.

Leisure Activity Arrangements: Coordinating activities such as yacht charters, golf outings, or spa appointments, seamlessly integrating leisure pursuits into your stay.

 These personalized touches transform your summer residence into a true home away from home, ready to provide comfort and luxury at any time.

 Upholding Security and Discretion

Privacy and security are paramount for homeowners. A proficient domestic team not only manages the estate’s operations but also ensures that your privacy is meticulously maintained:

Confidentiality Protocols: All staff adhere to strict confidentiality agreements, safeguarding personal information and activities within the residence.

Advanced Security Measures: Implementation of state-of-the-art surveillance systems and controlled access points, monitored by trained security personnel.

These measures create a secure environment where you can relax, confident in the knowledge that your sanctuary is protected.

The Advantage of Professional Recruitment Services

Assembling such a refined team necessitates a discerning selection process. Engaging professional recruitment services ensures access to candidates who not only possess the requisite skills but also align with your household’s culture and values. Agencies specializing in luxury household staffing offer tailored recruitment services that align with the unique needs of discerning families. Their extensive networks and rigorous vetting processes ensure that only the most qualified candidates are presented, streamlining the hiring process and ensuring a harmonious household dynamic.

Final Thoughts

A summer residence represents the pinnacle of luxury—a personal retreat designed for comfort and enjoyment. The seamless operation of such a home relies on the dedication and expertise of a carefully curated domestic team. By entrusting your property to skilled professionals, you ensure that your retreat is always ready to welcome you, providing an effortless escape whenever desired.

Charcoal and Conservation - The Art of Finn Campbell-Notman

Charcoal and Conservation - The Art of Finn Campbell-Notman

The Save the Rainforest Charity Gala aims to raise awareness of the urgent need to preserve our rainforests and protect endangered species. Finn’s powerful artwork is a testament to how creativity can inspire action and make a lasting impact on conservation efforts

Finn Campbell-Notman is an award-winning British artist whose work is held in private collections worldwide. Having lived and worked in Spain, the USA, and Belgium, he is now based in the UK, where he exhibits regularly. In 2023, he was named Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year.

A key focus of Finn’s diverse artistic practice is demonstrating how art can actively contribute to environmental conservation. His extraordinary works, created using charcoal collected from burned rainforests, serve as both powerful statements and tangible actions in the fight to protect natural habitats. Through his art, he has helped secure sixteen hectares of Amazonian forest.

Finn will be present at the Save the Rainforest Charity Gala to support the cause and share some of his remarkable pieces. In addition to his breathtaking portrait of a Bornean Orangutan, an homage to old master portraiture that highlights the urgency of rainforest conservation.  He has also created a bonus piece featuring a rhino, embracing the need to aid their plight.

It's Feel Good Friday! The Impact of Flavonoids on Exercise, Recovery and Brain Health

It’s Feel Good Friday! The Impact of Flavonoids on Exercise, Recovery and Brain Health

It’s no surprise that when we engage in regular physical activity a considerable amount of stress can be placed on the body. That is why, when it comes to optimising recovery, so many people focus on a daily diet of protein, carbohydrates and fats. 

It’s true that we need all of these in large quantities to provide energy and maintain structure, however research suggests that incorporating flavonoids into your daily diet, before or after exercise, improves athletic performance while supporting recovery and overall health, including your brain health. 

We speak to Jeremy Spencer, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry and Medicine at the University of Reading to see just how flavonoids can contribute to our health and wellbeing.

Feeling Good And Staying Sharp - The Five Unexpected Dementia Red Flags

The Five Unexpected Dementia Red Flags - And No, They Aren’t Memory Loss!

Perhaps it crosses your mind when you lose your car keys, (for the fourth time today). Or when you call your son by the dog’s name. Again. Memory loss is the best-known symptom of dementia, after all, and one in three people born in the UK today will develop it at some stage in their lifetime.

Yet a growing body of research suggests that the very first warning signs (those that signal the earliest brain changes) are not always related to forgetfulness. In fact, on the surface, they might appear to have very little to do with your mind.

In isolation, of course, each of these red flags may well prove nothing at all to worry about. But if they persist, appear in combination or trouble you, it’s always better to get your doctor’s opinion. Accessing the right support early, and putting the right interventions in place, can make all the difference.

Platinum Age Management - Is it Possible to Reverse Biological Age?

Platinum Age Management - Is it Possible to Reverse Biological Age?

The answer is definitely YES!

Many scientists and more particularly epigeneticists have demonstrated that our lifestyle and our environment determine the quality of our life and our longevity. By adopting healthy habits and an adapted lifestyle, it is not only possible to slow down the aging process but we can even stop it or even reverse it. Reducing the signs of aging at the cellular and functional level is an ambitious but achievable goal that is now supported by the scientific community.

1. Nutrition and food:

• Balanced diet: Favor foods rich in antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, nuts) to protect cells against oxidative damage.

• Calorie restriction: Reducing energy intake by maintaining a diet rich in nutrients (vitamins, minerals, quality proteins and fats) can slow down biological aging.

• Intermittent fasting: This practice promotes weight maintenance or even allows you to lose excess weight and stimulates autophagy which is a cell renewal process.

• Omega-3 fatty acids: Present in fatty fish, they have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic inflammation is one of the main factors of cellular senescence.

2. Adapted sport:

Physical exercise is an essential parameter for longevity. An element that can frighten some people is one of the essential bases for maintaining good mobility for long-term autonomy.

In order not to neglect any aspect of sporting practice, we must consider things along 3 axes: 

• Muscle strengthening allows the body to maintain good health in all circumstances. It promotes joint protection and guarantees good mobility. 

• Flexibility is an important parameter which, if neglected, can prove harmful in many daily activities. Good range of motion frees muscle junctions and promotes movement without constraint. 

• Cardiorespiratory functions must be maintained or even improved. Our heart works in concert with our lungs and it is their proper functioning that guarantees the proper distribution of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Practicing these activities has beneficial effects on the entire body and contributes to significantly reducing stress and therefore increasing the chances of living longer in good health.

3. Sleep:

• Restorative sleep: Quality sleep helps with cellular regeneration and the maintenance of cognitive functions.

• Regular routine: Going to bed and getting up at set times improves circadian rhythms.

4. Stress management:

• Meditation and mindfulness: These techniques can reduce levels of cortisol, a hormone linked to chronic stress and premature aging.

• Relaxing activities: Reading, yoga, relaxing music or hobbies that promote relaxation.

5. Social relationships and well-being:

• Social connections: Maintaining positive relationships helps maintain mental and physical health.

• Engagement in meaningful projects: The meaning given to life has positive effects on longevity.

6. Behavior:

• Risky behaviors: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, uncontrolled use of medications or narcotics. 

• Responsible attitude: Be aware of your abilities in order to avoid putting yourself in difficulty or even danger.

7. Environment:

• Reduction of toxins: Limit exposure to pollutants and toxic products.

• Noise reduction: Limit noisy environments and favor nature and calm.

• Exposure: Protect your skin when exposed to the sun and moisturize regularly.

Taking care of your body by adopting a healthy lifestyle is the key to longevity in great shape. The body has untold resources, but repeated harmful behaviors deplete its resources and degrade its biological and physiological functions. You are at the helm of an exceptional machine; it is up to you to make it last so you can live your life to the fullest.

You now have the keys to unlocking a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life. Science has proven it: reversing biological age is not a fantasy but a real, achievable goal. Every choice you make about what you eat, how you move, how you rest shapes your future self.

So, why wait? Start today!

Adopt habits that nourish your body and mind. Need guidance tailored to your unique physiology? At Platinum Age Management, we specialize in cutting-edge longevity strategies to help you thrive at every stage of life.

Your best years are not behind you, they're ahead. Let's craft them together.
