Introduction

Hi Everyone! My wife and I are from the New Orleans area. I recently took an early retirement. Our plan is take advantage of a window of time where our children are all out of the nest, and no grandchildren on the foreseeable horizon. We intend on moving to Croatia for a year, maybe more, to establish a base for travel adventures which we plan for approximately one week out of every month. After brainstorming all of the places we want to visit it seems likely we'll stay longer. We have another couple we are friends with who are planning the same thing. Croatia seemed like an ideal spot for many reasons, including the cost of living, healthcare, ease of travel, proximity to nearby destinations, natural beauty, and for me, importantly on the sea with outstanding sailing possibilities. We go over in Oct2017 to look for an apartment on the Istrian peninsula, ideally in Rovinj if we can find something in our budget.

I joined expat.com on 13 August 2017.
