Retiring is the time to put yourself first. After a long and hard-working career, you deserve to spend your retirement living in complete freedom and relaxation.

 

One of the best ways to spend your retirement is by moving abroad. If you have always dreamed of living in a different country, exploring a new culture and meeting new people, then retirement is the perfect time to do this.

 

We’ve created a list of some of the biggest benefits of moving abroad in your later years.

 

1. Better health

Heading abroad is medicine, in a manner of speaking. Living in the sunshine can improve both your mental and physical health by fuelling you with the vitamins and serotonin your body needs to feel calm, focused and healthy.

 

People who live in warmer countries also tend to engage more in physical activity like surfing, swimming, kayaking or walking along the coast.

 

2. Tick off the bucket list

If you’ve ever wanted to see elephants in the wild or snorkel along the Great Barrier Reef, now is your chance. While many go into retirement with a negative outlook, this is actually the time to celebrate and enjoy the luxury of not working.

 

Instead of gruelling work days, you can spend your time doing all of the things you’ve always wanted to do.  

 

3. Cheaper accommodation

Depending on where you go, overseas destinations often offer less expensive housing than is found in Europe. In particular, southeast Asia and certain islands in the Bahamas offer homes near the beach at very reasonable prices.


4. Better weather

One of the biggest factors that draw people to retire abroad is the sunshine. Why wouldn’t you want to spend your golden years in the golden sun?

 

Exotic locations like Bali and Thailand offer sun nearly every day, with white sand and blue water nearby. Closer to home, Spain, France and Portugal are very popular warm-weather destinations housing over 1 million retired British people. 

 

5. Change of lifestyle

If you’ve always lived in the city and dreamed of living beside the beach, then retiring abroad is the best excuse. You can spend your time living a lifestyle you’ve never experienced, meeting new people and exploring new places.
