    Hi Jill, I have always lived in the tropics so hurricanes are a part of life. Yes the do happen but in 8years living in the Mexican Caribbean we have had 2 that caused a little damage, not huge ones that devestate the entire island or anything. As for Puerto Vallarta, I've never been but have spoken to people living there. Very similar weather, but our water is prettier and yes hurricanes do happen over on the west coast as well. So if you're considering these locations please don't be put off, they are built for it. The houses are sturdy and able to hndle it.
    Cheers, Bel.

    As part of the visa expats need to carry private health insurance because it's affordable. We also have access to the public system but most expats, including myself prefer to go private where wait times are less and most doctors speak English.

    Hello,

    The real estate market in Nice is a bit tighter than other cities but not impossible to rent. If you rent in the historic center, you can expect a starting rent of $1600 for a 2-bedroom if not slightly more. The figures can go up quite a bit the closer you get to the seaside. Many look to go a bit further out of the center and take the tram or bus in to town. It's a wonderful city!

    Very bummed-I cannot get into the presentation at all! I've logged in, logged out on the website. The links in the email don't work. Maybe this information can be sent to me?

    Hello,

    For France, you can try the Morning Croissant website. Many short-term expats I know who come to France once a year use their services.

    Yes, search Facebook groups like Long Term Rentals in Portugal and others or reach out to expats on these groups to see if they know someone who has a rental.

    You might have a look in the IL bookstore to see about scouting trip publications.

    In Portugal you will be taxed so you should reach out to a tax expert.

    I've never been asked that before and honestly I've never looked. There is plenty of salsa and places to go dancing and dance studios offering all styles of dance so if you love dancing you'll be able to find something.

    for Portugal I'd suggest plan and trip and look around since only you can decide where you want to live. Train travel is affordable throughout the country and there are buses and uber. Do keep in mind that all of the country is cobblestoned which can be dangerous as we age.
