Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

@CapitalCitySaint fwiw i have not done as much international travel as you have .. ironically the only two places ive been outside of America (besides Canada) ive been in my life are the two absolute farthest places a human can fly from America- Australia , and Asia… and even more ironically, I despise flying with the white hot passion of 1000 suns… i have not been to Europe, or South America or the Caribbean - i have never even been to Mexico ! But what i would tell you is that , for me, it’s not worth the 25 plus hours (give or take) of flying you need to do to get to Sydney, or even Melbourne, just to experience another big city and take pics of a bridge and an opera house… just not worth it, imo .
I lived in South America for almost 2 years. Have been to Colombia, Ecuador & Brazil.

I would consider Spain, too, since I already speak Spanish but Italy is just 😍

I have also been to a shirt ton of places in the Caribbean (& Puerto Rico) but I could not live on a small island. I love the beach and warm weather but I need the freedom to travel distances without having to get on a plane.

Also been to Canada to a few places. Too cold. Africa & Asia I have yet to explore but will likely be going to Africa this year though it’s not really for reconnaissance for places to live lol. Just for vacay.
