PODCAST

Episode 57: The World's Best Places to Retire in 2024
International Living


When it comes to your overseas retirement, you don’t want to go in blind. That’s
why, every January, International Living publishes the world’s most in-depth,
detailed resource on the subject. Put simply, it ranks the top destinations on
the planet to retire to, based on the factors that matter most.

How much does it cost to rent a two-bedroom home in a pleasant expat area? What
does a bottle of local beer cost? Will you be able to meet other expats?, is the
weather good?, will you be able to get quality medical care at a price you can
afford?

These are just a few of the questions that International Living puts to its team
of overseas contributors every year. And that team consists of expats who live
overseas, who experience that lifestyle, and who know first-hand exactly what it
is that makes the difference between a successful overseas retirement and an
unprepared disaster.

Make no mistake, International Living’s Annual Global Retirement Index is not
some throwaway listicle compiled by some bored intern scraping Google results;
it’s a solid piece of invaluable research compiling countless hours of
experience and judgement.

If you’re enjoying the podcast, we would really appreciate it if you could leave
us a review on your favorite podcast platform:
