(1,227 posts)Information and decidedly well-travelled. I work for a company that allows (requires) me to speak Hebrew, Hungarian, Spanish and English. I have studied Dutch and Latin (why, dear God?). Some of my previous partners have lived in, studied in or were shipped from Holland, Germany and Slovenia; and they seem to love to challenge my lexical musings. I speak a few languages fluently and butcher even more. But I'm constantly learning.
I had originally idealized the Mediterranean coast of Spain, but I'm reading a lot lately that the ecomonic status of Greece (I'm half Greek, never visited) is prime for retirees. Im certain that comes with commensurate consequences and always am skeptical of "buy this" articles.
To be sure, at the point that I expatriate, I'll never have to work an 80-hour work-week again and can devote my life to fishing, gardening and being drooled on by a dog. And lots of cooking.
Wonderful to get the perspective of a local.
Thanks!
