Resumen del Editor

According to the US State Department, 10 million Americans live abroad. Should you be one of them? If you have asked yourself any of the following questions, the expatriate life may be for you.

• Do I feel safe in the United States?
• Can I survive financially on my retirement income?
• Will I lose my access to adequate healthcare as I age?
• Do I need more fun and excitement in my life?

Depending on your answers, maybe you should consider an alternative to your current retirement story. In this book, a retired Travel Consultant who has traveled to more than 40 countries and assisted many of her clients as they retired abroad, takes you on an informal journey of 9 diverse countries in Europe where you can retire comfortably and happily on a budget. This book demystifies the process of moving overseas by offering tips on acquiring visas, purchasing, or renting property, understanding healthcare options, and taxation policies, adapting to the culture, and more. You will also get some personal insight from current expats on the processes of moving and adjusting to a brand-new environment. Learn how a nontraditional retirement can be just the boost you need in your life.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to move abroad and just how to go about it, look no further than this book. Rediscover places you have always loved and discover some you may never have dreamed of. The one thing they all have in common is that you can live and thrive there for way less money than you can in the United States. Imagine living in paradise on your social security income.

You really can do it!

This is pretty exciting!

I honestly never considered retiring in Europe before listening to this book. It sounded like something you’d have to be incredibly wealthy to pull off. I’m super excited that this book proved me wrong.

Retiring in Europe now sounds way less daunting thanks to this amazing book. It covers everything, including both the pros and the cons of living in particular countries. I feel like an exciting new possibility just got unlocked!

A must have

The book was short straight to the point without all the non-needed fluff. I was impressed at how informative and well written it is with clear pros and cons of every country, taxation and what to expect. The book explained the requirements needed to get the paperwork needed before traveling which will save a lot of headaches and money further down along the process. The bureaucracy, the security, the healthcare, the weather, the different ways to get your citizenships in all 9 countries. Etc.. This opened my eyes to possible retirement in Europe specially when im already fluent in three of those languages. Will definitely recommend!!!

Retire to Europe

Great audible to provide places to think about retiring to. Having lived in the UK for all this time it's nice to plan a hotter destination that doesn't rain as much. This audible was great to discuss the detail in each destination and we certainly prefer Portugal after listening to all the chapters but wow, Slovenia really is a hidden gem. A must listen for anyone serious about retiring abroad for a better life.

So much encouragement!

Great practical guidance on making a dream come true. Thank you for this realistic look at travel in todays world. The book moved me along in thinking we could really do this in retirement.

Must read !!!

Very happy uplifting helpful “how to’s” of living abroad ! Makes one reading the book yearn to move to another country. If even for little while. This book is a must for many of us who would love a great travel experience

An audiobook book full of inspiration.

The concept of retiring in Europe seems like an unreachable ideal, but the author reminds us that it is achievable, which is why I adored this audiobook. I appreciated that it offered helpful advice on realising your dreams as well as a wealth of knowledge, including the benefits and drawbacks of various nations' tax systems. It's quite impressive that the author was able to write a book that was so concise and to the point. Every person who is concerned about retirement life should listen to this book. Recommended!

Highly recommended!

If you are thinking about a sustainable retirement in Europe, this is the perfect guide.

Europe, Here I Come!!!

If the idea of retiring in Europe has ever crossed your mind, whether it is a concrete plan or feels like an unattainable dream, this is the book you have been looking for!

I have yet to retire, but I was an expat in Brazil for over 10 years, and listening to this book made me wish that the author had written a book about retiring in Brazil, because while this book is geared toward retirees, much of the information would be relevant to someone moving to Europe for any reason, at any stage of life. The chapters on each country include information about climate, healthcare, city versus rural life, transportation, cultural observations, cuisine, cost of living, history, and so much more.

Lily St. Francis does an especially excellent job of highlighting the charm and delightful characteristics of each country and culture, which is extremely helpful in narrowing down the choices of European countries. As you listen to the descriptions, you will find yourself drawn to and intrigued by certain countries more than others, based on how your personality and taste connects with the culture and what is available in each country.

Or, this book might make you decide to plan a survey tour before making up your mind which European country to retire in, because they all do sound delightful! If you follow the practical suggestions and helpful tips in this book, you won’t go wrong no matter which country you choose! Buy this book today, and start making your dream retirement a reality!

Get started planning your retirement.

The author of this book really knows her stuff. I have always imagined living in a country where my dollar stretches much farther than here. I just had no idea where to start or how all it all worked as far as visas and legalities.
Another concerning thought was healthcare, i pay for insurance here so how would that work. I found answers to my questions and so much more. My confidence in the author grew as i learned she was a travel agent and has visited these places her self and gained experience through helping her clients retire abroad, setting them up perfectly.
Thanks for setting my mind a ease as i began planning out my dream retirement!
