ABOUT US

Over the past few years, I’ve found myself asking a question that more and more Americans are quietly considering:
“What would it take to retire outside the United States—and where would I even begin to look?

This newsletter series is the product of my own research. It’s not a list of recommendations, nor does it presume there’s a “perfect” place to land. Instead, it’s a framework—a way to think through what matters most to each of us when considering a move abroad. Our focus is to address topics applicable to those of us with established lives and resources that we want to protect and enjoy.

There are many rankings and glowing articles online. But often, they reflect narrow or inconsistent criteria. Some emphasize cost savings. Others prioritize weather or expat communities. Few take a holistic view—and fewer still speak to the needs of Americans who may have built careers, raised families, and are now seeking something more fulfilling, more manageable, or simply new.

Through a series of newsletters/blogs and eBooks I share factors to consider. We recognize that it does not all come down to finances. It is more a balance of understanding the financial implications of each choice and the quality of like benefits we realize that drives the selection of a new home.

For us, the journey began several years ago when we traveled to over 20 countries spanning Asia, Europe, Central and South America.

Our newsletter begins with some foundational articles that apply no matter where one moves out of the US and then we dive into weekly or bi-weekly newsletters.

We begin with a look at ten countries that frequently surface in conversations about retirement abroad. The purpose is not to suggest they are the best—but to show how different places offer different blends of climate, culture, cost, infrastructure, safety, and legal frameworks.

Each of us will weigh those differently.

My hope is that this helps you think more clearly and creatively about your own “next chapter”.
