Just signed on here, beginning the (long) journey towards moving to Europe for retirement. I'm English originally, my wife is from Puerto Rico, but is the one who suggested we retire across the pond. We know we need to plan recon trips, and we're so early in this game, we don't know what we don't know. We haven't even narrowed down which country to focus on, although Spain and Italy seem to be in the lead, with France close behind. We prefer temperate climes, variation is good, but we'd prefer to avoid extremes. 'Goldilocks' would be the main theme, I suppose, for climate, as well as size of the town/city, and topography. We're anticipating a budget of $4k-ish, which seems to leave open most areas we'd be interested in. No chronic medical issues to factor, but obvious as we age that will become more important. We do want some space where we live for when 'the kids' visit, so probably a house, not apartment.
Welcoming guidance from those who have gone before....
