    The Best Regions in the World for Retirement 2025

    [vimeo url=https://vimeo.com/event/4836646/2176fc3026]

    Whether you envision mornings on a Mediterranean coast, afternoons exploring colonial towns, or evenings in the crisp mountain air, these regions represent the very best of what their countries have to offer. With input from on-the-ground correspondents and local expats, we’ve highlighted the neighborhoods, cities, and rural retreats that promise an unparalleled retirement experience in 2025.

    Our full report points to 20 regions... on our workshop here, we’ve chosen a selection of them to focus on. Joining host Jennifer Stevens will be Bel Woodhouse, IL’s Mexico Correspondent; Tuula Rampont, IL’s France Correspondent; Bart Walters, IL’s Thailand Contributor; Terry Coles, IL’s Portugal Contributor; and Jessica Ramesch, IL’s Panama Editor.

    You can also read about our six up-and-coming regions to watch for 2025, here.

        As a single woman, I am looking for safe locations to move to that will stretch my dollars. I am looking for strong expat communities for singles, if possible. I prefer to rent, as this will be my first time living outside of the US. Willing to go car-free. Also concerned about Panama.

        As a single senior, I would like to know if there are any retirement communities in Panama that offers residents the option to transition to "assisted living" facilities within the same residential complex when their health begins to decline.

                My husband and I would love to live in Portugal part-time while keeping our home in New York State. Do you have advice as to how to do this on one teacher's retirement salary?

                  We are just starting our retirement. We plan on traveling, most often in Europe and Central America, for 1-3 months at a time. We are interested in furnished rental resources other than VRBO and AirBNB. Do you have any recommendations?

                      I hear a lot about selling everything before a move abroad? Is that really necessary? Kindly elaborate.

                          If you had a spouse with Alzheimers and you wanted to keep that person at home with the help of aides, where would you go?

                            when you move to another country, what happens to your MediCare? Do you lose it? If so, do you get it back easily if you return to the US? What about social security? Do you still get it? I have not taken mine yet. ( I am 63.) Should one get that started before moving out of country?

                                    I would love information on mid-size towns in France, not big towns or cities that have an urban lifestyle and accessible to a train station and/or airport.
