Kenya: Should I return to Kenya:
I was born in Mombasa in 1946, left to go to school in UK at age 11 and have not been back since. Have very fond memories of Nyali beach where I grew up. Should I return to spend the autumn of my life there or is it not as I remember?? Bill
Global Expat Forum: Where to Retire:
I have to agree with nearly everything that you said but need to add an observation or two for consideration.
It seems to me there are people who can't leave their extended families, those who can't adapt, nomads who just need to keep moving and those who can make any reasonable situation work and can build relationships anywhere they go.
For the latter group some places will be better to retire to than others depending on individual preferences, like climate, cost of living, health care and security.
Those who have lived overseas for more than 5 years are obviously the people to listen to and hearing from them is the place I would be looking in the belief I can stick anywhere that is reasonably safe, has a climate that suits and is econically better suited than the place I live now which has been Western Australia for the last 30 years, after being born in Kenya and schooled in the U.K.
Hope that adds to the conversation.
Bill
