What do I need to know before retiring in Chile?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Chile, they said...
"I would tell a friend looking to move here to learn a little Spanish first, don't bring everything you own with you because you can find all you need here and prepare to have a wonderful, new cultural experience because Chile is an interesting and beautiful place to live," explained one expat living in Santiago, Chile.
