Given that almost every country has economic challenges, I’d like to hear your personal opinions, where do you think is the best country to retire in?
Tell us what you want to do when you retire and how the country you choose can help you achieve that.
To me Spain, Portugal or Italy all seem like they have the right pace of life and enjoyable climate. The people are kind and they have a nice selection of Mediterranean foods. The idea of being able to go out and pick some fresh oranges off the trees in the morning is quite appealing. Having a nice amount of sunshine most of the year, compared to colder places further north is a bonus. Being able to swim in warm seas and visit beaches packed with beautiful women is another positive. I've found that these are the best places in Europe, but it really comes down to personal preference because I know some people love colder countries.
