Hey guys, Mikkel here,
When most people think of “off-grid living,” their mind goes straight to the common clichés - hippies in the woods, cobbled-together solar panels, and a lifestyle defined more by sacrifice than by security.
Patrick Hiebert has spent the last decade proving that it doesn’t have to be the case.
As the CEO of Autris and the creator of the Veritas Villages communities, Patrick has built freedom-oriented, self-sustainable developments across Latin America that are turning the off-grid stereotype upside down.
His projects aren’t just habitable… they’re beautiful, resilient, and designed to function as full communities where modern independence is the standard.
He’s shown that you can have self-reliance without giving up modern amenities and that you can build a home surrounded by like-minded neighbours who value security, privacy, and resilience… without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
That’s why I am thrilled to announce that Patrick will be a featured speaker at this year’s Expat Money Online Summit 2025: The Future is Latin America.
From October 10th through the 12th, my team and I at Expat Money team are bringing together some of the world’s top offshore experts from around the world to share the most actionable offshore intelligence available today.
This is the biggest event of the year for our community - I am talking about thousands of freedom-minded families, investors, and soon-to-be expats tuning in for three full days of strategies, actionable insights and warnings that are critical to the future freedoms and financial prosperity of concerned families just like yours.
Over the course of the event, you’ll hear directly from me and my trusted network of offshore professionals about the “hows”, “wheres” and “whats” you, as the leader of your family, need to do to ensure your loved ones are in a position to thrive no matter what happens in the world around us.
Featured Off-Grid Living Session: Your Plan-B or Rental Home in Paradise
These aren’t survivalist hideouts; they’re vibrant, self-sustaining communities designed around independence, resilience, and freedom.
In this session, Patrick will:
Explain how these developments are structured to support long-term resilience.
Show why these communities are uniquely suited for freedom-minded expats who want a secure Plan-B.
Reveal how owning one of these villages isn’t just a lifestyle choice, but also a sound investment that produces real returns.
Unveil a special offer available exclusively to Summit attendees, giving you a chance to step into this world on better terms than you’ll ever see elsewhere.
The Summit begins THIS COMING FRIDAY at 8:50am Panama Time, and right now, the only thing you need to do is secure your complimentary ticket if you want to join thousands of other freedom-oriented members of the Expat Money community for this incredible event.
If you want to be there, you need to get into gear now and start preparing yourself for what will be an incredibly valuable weekend for those of you who make the decision to join in.
Speak soon,
Mikkel
