Living in Europe for a year

8 years ago

I am a retired expat currently living in Mexico. I am thinking of travelling to Europe for a year starting sometime next year. I am looking to live for 3 months in the UK and 3 months in France. The other months in Germany, Italy and Spain. I am on a fixed budget and would have about $1000 US for expenses. Where would you suggest I begin my search to see what housing costs (modest, withing a few hours of travel by train to major cities) are in these countries? Thanks
