    I lived very happily for several years in Malaysia as a single American woman. Always felt safe, cared about, welcomed, and energized. I found friends--good friends--and lots of activities to do. Travel to other parts of Asia was very easy. Healthcare was excellent and lots of English spoken there.

    There are plenty of way to rent in Mazatlan. A quick Google search will give you a list of real estates to contact, or you can look on VRBO, AirBnb, or something similar. Another great option is to join the expat Facebook group for Mazatlan and there are plenty of people who live there that can answer your questions and share good real estate agents.

    One of the best things for me about moving to France, Portugal, Spain or Montenegro is going car free. I have previously lived in the UK, Europe, Latin American and Asia and never owned a car in those years. So I don't want a place where I need a car, but I don't want a huge city with the expense, noise, etc. So what are the best car free places in those areas?

    For France, you can look at Nice which has a thriving expat community for singles. I'd also consider Lyon and even Paris.

    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!

    Terry, I missed the first part of your presentation. Where is the region within Portugal you were talking about? I am interested in the north above Porto. Do you know anything about that region? Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Hello,

    For France, it's the Long Stay visa which is fairly easy to get and covers you for 12 months, then you renew it in France. You apply in the USA. All of the details are covered on the IL France webpage under visas.

    Q for Jess. I am from Maine USA and attending last years Panama Conference and fell in love with Panama. I am bringing my wife, friends and cousins, 6 total to vacation in Panama in April 2025. I hope to interest my family and friends to retire with us there in a few years. I am ready to plan it now. I am planning 4-6 days at a condo in Panama City and an equal time either on a beach or a more temperate, tropical climate. I wanted Boquete, but feel it is too long a travel from Panama City. We want to be back close to the airport for our departing flight at the end. Please advise me. If we choose the beach, close GLP property, or similar, is it easy to plan trips from these places for the canal, tropical trails, etc...? Thank you.

    I don't hear a lot about the Italian Dolomites, and yet I love that region. Any feedback on the retirement quality there?
