I am Retired.
My expat journey
London, England
Due to his Naval career, my husband and I were lucky enough to live in central London. I love London and go back every summer for two months. I want to move there for at least one year, but this may not be possible due to visa limitations. The retirement visa has been terminated as of 2022, and I am only allowed the tourist six months in the UK.
I am a retired English teacher and now have a freelance editing and proofreading business.
London has so much to offer?museums, culture, parks, shopping, history, and ease of travel.
The weather is not the best - but there are cheap flights to the sunshine.
Provincia de Alicante, Valencia, Spain
My husband and I would like to travel Europe for a few years with a home base in Spain.
Both of us are retired, but we are consultants on the side.
I would like outdoor activities?tennis, pickle, swimming, walking, hiking, etc. Lots of sunshine and friendly people.
Houston, USA
I am a native Texan and love being back in my favourite state.
I was the Director of a Scholars Program at a college prep school teaching all things writing and communications, and I also taught my first love -- British Literature.
There is so much to do in Houston - outdoor sports, food, museums, etc.
The weather is a little dicey - beautiful for 3 seasons - but Summers are miserably humid and HOT.
