The Best Regions in the World for Retirement 2025

JIM.MARSEE

Am in Oaxaca, Mexico (1st stop around the world tour). One problem I am seeing in almost all the locations I will be investigating (Mazatlan & Merida, Mexico; Hua Hen, Thailand, also Vietnam and Bali, Indonesia); and Portugal and Spain) is finding realtors or others who will assist in finding short term rentals (2-3 months as average visitor visa length).

Thank you for the information shared! Never would have considered Nicaragua! In addition, I meant that I would love to meet and have friends that are local, not exclusively just the expat community, once I got myself settled and comfortable.

Bel, 1) How do you deal with the threat of hurricanes where you live, and with global warming, is this becoming a greater concern? Also, why do you prefer where you are to a place like Puerto Vallarta? Thank you!

Hello! I just had a chance to reply to the above question:

Renting in Toulon is fairly easy and cheaper than other areas in the south of France. The expat life is a lot slower because it's still quite "under-the-radar." If you're fine with hanging out with mainly the French and a few small expat groups, you should be okay. Your French will improve very quickly in Toulon.

Do you have a Panama relocation service(s) you can recommend? Does one need that to learn more about the country? Are there areas outside of Panama City that you recommend for expats to live? Thank you!
