The Best Regions in the World for Retirement 2025
-
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.

good afternoon, I’m going to be starting a roaming retiree plan this year, but I’ve gotten conflicting answers on medical care available. What kind of medical plan do I need to live in a country for one month or two say France or Italy? I have international Blue Cross, but I’m told that I would have to pay out-of-pocket and then get reimbursed by the insurance company. Are there any health medical plans if an emergency were to arise in the country? I’m staying in?

Hi,
climate change is my biggest convern when considering location What countries are predicted to suffer and which ones are predicted to be safer from climate change related disasters?Global warming is affecting every continent in the world so I would expect that every country will notice a difference in the years to come. I was concerned about hurricanes where I live here in the Mexican Caribbean but over the last 8 years we haven't seen that much difference. Each year there is a hurricane season but most are tropical storms and don't escalate into hurricanes. Having said that, the risk is always there. It is the same in any tropic region in every country worldwide so if this is of concern, I would recommend to just have a little Google search and see how it has affected the countries you are interested in moving to.

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!
Healthcare in Portugal is excellent, especially in the private sector. The only company that covers those over age 70 is called MGEN. You can go online and request a quote to give you an idea of cost. Just to to give you an idea my husband is 70 and I am 64 and we pay around 550 euros per month for the two of us, and the coverage is excellent. We are with another company because we have been here for 6 years.

Hello,
You can get international health insurance to cover you while you're in France. That being said, anyone can make an appoint at the doctor here and it will cost you €25 - the fees for healthcare are very low compared to the US. You can also use any French medical services while you're here, if you need them.Tuula, IL France Correspondent

I hear a lot about selling everything before a move abroad? Is that really necessary? Kindly elaborate.
In my situation I can't afford to keep paying rent AND travel. Maybe yours is different and you can travel while you make up your mind about going all in. Also, the cost of shipping goods internationally is prohibitive for most and you can buy everything you need once you find housing. Or rent a furnished place for the first year. Lots to think about!

Can one find a long term rental (3 to 6 months) in Portugal in order to get a better feel of the country?

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?

Beach areas in Portugal just like the rest of the world get tourists in the summer, and we just need to deal with it., there is no way around it. We live in the Algarve, the area I am talking about here and we put up with summer tourists to enjoy the best weather in EUrope the rest of the year.

Cant access the workshop unfortunately

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?
