I am seriously considering retiring abroad when the time comes in about10 years. My dad and his wife moved to Ecuador in late 2011. They live it there. We have visited twice and it is on the list for me. We went to Colombia in February to see it and do some birding. That and Panama or Costa Rica are also possibilities but I am also interested in Croatia and especially Slovenia. I am a winemaker and would ideally like to live in an area that produces high quality wines. I am hearing lots of good things about the wine industry in Croatia and Slovenia.
For me it is partly adventure, partly lower cost of living which would enable for more travel and adventure, partly hoping to find a nicer year round climate and partly I am getting more and more disgusted with the USA.
