¡Hola!
Could it be the heady combination of full moon, sprng rains and greener pastures? I can't say, but recent travels over the past few months are under my skin. Visions of a quiet existance in a small town, calm days, reading in the warmth of the sunroom with a cat sleeping nearby are luring me to South America. Let me expand on this.
Have you ever felt there was somewhere you should be? Something more you were meant to do, to be? Life is short, and perhaps now that I'm nearing "senior" status, I want to take a new direction. One where I am the ruler of my day rather than others who hold the reins. Perhaps the fact that my husband and I have both been working abroad - me to the Caribbean and he to Columbia, where many live a hard life. Is this then a mission quest?
No not for me - tho I have a strong altruistic steak,mI'm not out to save the world. Sadly He who is much Greatter than I is the One in Charge of that. What I want is to retire..in a country that is beautiful, mosty peaceful and affordable.
Sadly, (or fortunately) where I am now fills most of those qualities but not the affordability. So lets see what else is around. Surprisingly South America might just be the ticket! $1500 a month for a couple of pensioners is what it takes tomove to Panama. I'm sure its not that simple, but it was an encouraging start. Now to learn Spanish...ot helps to chat with the locals.
For today, I keep dreaming of a retirement, in my perfect world in 5 years. and who knows what The Big Plan holds for me and mine? Today I feel good, enjoying the spring and hanging out with the hubby & cat. Life is good! Tomorrow. .gonna go for a ride on our bikes...adios!
