Where in this world would you want to retire?

Here is my wishful thinking. If ever I would have the possibility, my ideal choice to live when I retire would be Switzerland. I have been there twice, and I am so impressed with the natural sceneries all over the country. It would be so pleasant all the year round.

I would like to retire to a beach side bungalow by a tropical beach. There would be coconut palms in my garden and I would have a sea view. Really due to my disabled son I might have to stay in my home country and it has a temperate climate. My son is in a wheelchair and I don''t know how independent he will be as an adult. I hope to visit the Philippines for some island hopping and snorkeling. I am very keen on visiting different countries in the world.

I want to be able to retire here at home. And travel while i can.i am not thinking of settling down in foreign countries. I would be more comfortable to retire in s familiar place.

When I was younger I lived close to Kentucky Lake in the US. I went fishing almost every day except during the winter months. I married a physician who had a share in a cabin on the lake and I still think that area is the most beautiful place in the world. Over the years, I've moved around quite a bit. Have been in Texas, down around the Louisiana bayous, in Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana and Kentucky. Of all of them, I'd still prefer the Kentucky Lake area. Louisiana would be a close second choice.

I would like a place at the Caribbean, as long as I have the money to travel and come see my family once in awhile. But all that is just for the sake of answering your post. I am retired, I live in the same house I´ve always lived and I have strenght enough just for remodeling it bit by bit once in a while and to travel once in a year for vacations. I still think that I´d like to spend the worst of the winter at a warmer place.

i'd like to have a little cave of my own that way i can really say i'm gonna be a hermit when i retire hehehe although that cave'd have modern amenities heheh

I used to think I wanted to retire up in the woods in a log cabin. But after going in a few I definately have changed my mind. Now I would love to live here for six months then go live six months with my daughter in Arizona!

I like to retire somewhere in Europe... maybe in Barcelona or in Ireland. I like somewhere wherein the place is just relaxing and I can let time pass by... :)
