Would you consider retiring abroad?

Many people dream of living abroad after retirement or travelling long term.

From experiencing new places to chasing warmer weather, there’s dozens of reasons for packing up and moving away from the place you raised your family.

Cheaper and more convenient travel options like the train, plane and ferry mean the world is smaller than it once was; you can live abroad and still maintain close ties with those you love back home.

Money is also a factor – moving to rural France or Spain may be cheaper than retiring in a British city, making it an attractive option for many couples already working hard to stretch their pensions.

The savings made to the cost of living and positive factors like lifestyle and weather mean in the last decade more people than ever have been retiring and moving to Europe to enjoy their retirement.
