Cal anon planning to retire to latin america w/surfboard, guitar.
Maybe in the future you could do a website, hit up the anons here w/the link.
I am sure many would be interested to floow your plan and you can guide since you will already be scouting and should be set by then.
Alot of MIL have gone to areas of phillipines, and similar low cost countries and have retired nicely and with a community of americans.
It would be great if you could share your knowledge and experience ans have interested anons join you down south!
I personally have experience running hospitality biz, bars,restaurants and such and have done so on the coastal areas.
good luck anon
god bless and hope your plans turn out well!
