    My wife and I are looking to expatriate to the Antibes, France area next year and are in need of an agent to help with the location of desireable long term rental properties. Would appreciate any help in identifying a dependable, professional, cost reasonable contact.
    Thanks - Bill

      Bart, are changing visa situations making it more difficult to check out and/or settle in Thailand?

      Hi Jill! Visas in Thailand seem to get easier every year. There are several new visa options including some "golden visas" and digital nomad visas. Most changes in visa policy are designed to make it easier, not harder.

        Hello again Jill! I went to Chiang Mai to help a friend renovate an old guest house in the Old City. It is a very charming and cool place, but I'm a beach person and Chiang Mai is in the misty mountains of the north. I still go up to visit a couple of times per year.

                Do you really believe Panama is a great place to retire when Trump is talking about taking the Panema Canal by force and dredging it for bigger ships ?... i would reconsider

                  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.

                    Greetings. I'm new to this community and would greatly appreciate some experience based input. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada and have experienced two life changing shifts since March of 2023. I've since been navigating my way through the aftermath and am now within a couple of weeks of beginning the process of creating a new life for myself and my intention is to go international. Places presently on my radar screen are Mexico, Panama, Portugal, Spain and Italy (perhaps Sicily?). A friend living in Lake Chapala Mexico is suggesting I begin by going down and checking out that area for awhile, which I intend to do. I lean more towards being by the ocean but am open to other possibilities. On my criteria list are a comfortable, reasonably temperate climate, a small to modest size town or city with opportunity to engage in community, access to good food and wine, and affordability. My interests are travel, cooking, photography, and music. My recently deceased wife and I spent 6 months in Ecuador about 10 years ago and very much enjoyed the experience, but I don't see that place as being what I'm looking for. Any suggestions or perspectives will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

                            I'm 62 year old single man looking to find a city to move to with a good adult singles scene. My guess is it would need to be farly large metro to accomplish this. any recommendations in Mexico, Columbia, Panama, spain or Portugal. Other cities are open to look at as well. Thanks

                              We are researching the Italian Alps-area to rent and eventually purchase.
                              there are two considerations. #1- we live in south Florida and summers are hot and humid. So summer weather needs to be cool and dryer.
                              #2- my Wife likes France and speakes it well; so she woukd like to be close the France
                              Which area should we ve researching?
                              We have applied for dual Citizenship with Italy.
                              Thank you,
                              John Cannava

                                          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.
