    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.

                                Related to the question by WINTERSVIC, I don't want to sell everything in order to move to Europe as I am a collector, but since I will need to start by renting before buying a place, are there storage rental units in Europe like there are in the US?

                                  The best country in Europe to be able to get private and/or supplemental health insurance for over 70 year olds. At a cost a retiree can afford. In lieu of that, countries that bring you into a high quality state health care system quickly. Thanks!

                                      Hi,
                                      I’m really concerned about the effects Putin is having on several European governments, namely Germany, France, Italy. There is a strong push by far right elements and getting stronger. I’m not trying to make this political but I’m concerned to the point of putting my dream of living in France to the back burner.

                                          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.

                                          Although I am not single, I highly recommend Nicaragua! I feel safer here than anywhere I've lived in the US. I live in Managua... Granada and San Juan Del Sur are popular places for expats and single ladies
