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?

Hello,
There are English friendly cities in France. One of them is Nice and Paris is good too. Of course you'll pick up a lot of the language when you live there.

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.

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

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!

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.

Hello,
Yes, there are storage units in France you can use. A good idea would be to start researching moving companies or shipping providers to have an idea of the cost to move your items.
