What advice do overseas retirees have for others considering retiring abroad?

"Retirees living abroad often suggest researching potential destinations and costs of living ahead of time, to ensure that your retirement funds will be sufficient. It is also important to consult with an international financial planner to ensure that you don't run into any problems with taxes or offshore banking. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the culture and language of the country you plan to live in so you can more easily assimilate. Lastly, take the time to explore your retirement area and meet locals in order to have a better understanding of the culture," explained one expat living in Medellin, Colombia.

"Colombia is like a dream come true. Very much like the Shire in Tolkien's classic, "The Hobbit". Fresh, crisp mountain air. Sunny days with gentle, pine and eucalyptus scented breezes. Restful, cool nights with the patter of soft rain overhead. Green everywhere. Lush pastures and forests. An average yearly climate that averages 68 degrees at night and 75 daytime. Morning and evening hot tub sessions. Walks along shaded forest paths. Fresh fruit, juice, vegetables from our garden and dairy right from the farm. Fresh meat without preservatives. Beautiful, warm, friendly Paisas. Parties, barbecues, family celebrations. It's all good," said another expat in Medellin, Colombia.
