My wife and I will be leaving the US for a new adventure somewhere in Southern Europe. We are both seniors with reasonable finances and in good health. An initial agenda is to spend 2-3 months in Provence,
the same in the Basque Region (of Spain), then somewhere in Portugal, and finally in Tuscany - starting the end of this August.
We will rent some kind of a house ( to be determined) and will have a car or van. With the aid of Expat Exchange, we hope to investigate realistic opportunities before deciding on a permanent home. We both speak French, some Spanish, German and Italian. Anyway, "Hello" to you all out there, and looking forward to future communications. (This is our first try at this Forum).

Donschall1,

Sounds like a great adventure. I recommend you check out Praia da Luz, Lagos, Portugal. My wife and I have a vacation home there and rather enjoy it. The Algarve in general is excellent. Make sure to hit the Saturday market in Loule, get there early.

One thing you might investigate is the "90 in 180 day rule" for the Schengen countries. I may be wrong, but I think you can only stay 90 days in 180 day period.

Enjoy,

Drew
