Retire in Armenia

"Life is pleasant. I wake up and make breakfast for the family, walk my children to school, then stop at the cafe for a coffee or beer depending on the weather before going home. Then I do some writing until noon time before heading out for lunch with my wife (she's attending Yerevan State University). Once 3PM rolls around I pickup the kids and take them to their cello lesson three days a week, otherwise we head home to get started on homework while I try to write a little more. I start making dinner around 5:30PM (my wife can't cook to save her life). During the summer I play softball in the evenings with the Marines from the US Embassy, and we go for pizza and beer afterwards... it's a pretty American thing we have going here. There is an active expat community here comprising the Brits and the Yanks (with some locals mixed in), and we generally have a great time," said a person in Yerevan.

"Even though we're surrounded by people that don't like us (Georgia, Turkey, Iran, and Azerbaijan), Armenia is a pretty good place to live," explained a retiree in Yerevan.

"We have access to good medical care, but folks suffering from chronic conditions might consider living elsewhere. Most expats go to France, Germany, or Switzerland for surgery and other types treatment," said one retiree in Yerevan.

"In Armenia, residents enjoy a variety of recreational facilities, such as parks, sports complexes, and outdoor activities. Parks are a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a variety of activities such as walking, jogging, and picnicking. Sports complexes provide a variety of activities, including basketball, tennis, and swimming. Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and skiing are also popular in Armenia. Additionally, there are many cultural attractions, such as museums, galleries, and theaters, that provide entertainment and education," said one retiree in Armenia.

"People living in Armenia typically buy groceries from local markets, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Other shopping can be done at malls, department stores, and specialty shops. Additionally, many people in Armenia shop online for groceries and other items," remarked one retiree in Armenia.
