"Life for a retiree in the United States and its surroundings can be quite fulfilling. There is an active expat community with ample access to cultural attractions, recreation, and nightlife. Retirees often explore the culture of the region by participating in outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, and bird watching. They also enjoy visiting local sports teams and attending theatre performances, music concerts, and art shows.
