Hi - New member looking for a new adventure abroad.
Long time browser but just registered. Am recently retired (52) and live in Wales. Been working in the UAE for nearly 3 years and before that, 30+ in the UK.
Now contemplating a move overseas either for good or for the duration. Just not too sure where??? Have cut it down to a few options so will post specific thoughts on relevant forums. Couldn't see a 'General' emigration area so i suppose duplicate posts across the relevant forums may be best option, my thoughts at moment are either Malaysia, Phillipines, Italy, France, Spain - in that order. Also considering USA, Canada, Oz and NZ but visa options are limited on the retirement front so have largely discounted them.
Exciting times!!! Just want to avoid a disaster!!!

Take a look down the list of country specific forums and make your choice.
I suggest you also take a look in the BE Wiki...it's full of useful information for expats or soon to be expats.
We have a team of concierges who will help you find your way around the forums if you get a little lost. You can find a list of their names at the bottom right hand side of this page.
If you have any problems or complaints please contact a moderator...you can find the moderator's name at the bottom right hand side of the forum's index page.
Please shout out if you need help with anything.

Re: Hi
Yep, I planned to post in the country specific ones, like I said
Will be duplicate posts across them as the same issues will be relevant to different countries, all of which will have their pros and cons.
