Se posso dare un consiglio: se se scegliete di vivere in Italia o in un qualsiasi altro posto del mondo per prima cosa dovete imparare la lingua. Per "imparare" non intendo solo studiarla a scuola ma assimilare la lingua in modo tale da poter pensare spontaneamente in quella lingua, poter ridere quando qualcuno fa una battuta. Quando ci si sente parte di una cultura e di una lingua si può vivere felici in un paese straniero altrimenti ci si sentirà davvero soli. Detto questo se cercate un posto con sole e mare, costo della vita basso e poca criminalità e infrastrutture decenti il meglio che può venirmi in mente è il sud della Sardegna. Per accedere gratuitamente al Servizio Sanitario Nazionale dovete fare una di queste cose 1 diventare cittadini italiani (dopo 5 anni di residenza) 2 svolgere un'attività economica e pagare le tasse in Italia 3 sposarsi

The biggest barrier that I see here is the language for most older adults for whom learning a new language is not as easy. One will need to be somewhat fluent in the native language so they can communicate, somewhat effectively, for daily living including for daily shopping, going to a doctor's visit, dealing with legal issues and just getting oneself understood when in a difficult or dire situation, especially when an urgent action is a huge factor!

Nicely made video, thank you. I have though, to share my own perception, and that is, that beyond all those charming places and great affordability- why would anyone (who is north American for that matter) choose to retire in a place, charming as it may be, far away from his/her heritage, culture, family... what about language barriers and mastering a new language at an old age (and I know Italian can be tricky, especially the southern dialects, as I speak it relatively well); what about proximity to Medical facilities; what about proximity to major airports, what about cultural events and social activities; and mainly what about residency and the ability to actually legally stay there more than 90 days (tourist Visa to Schengen, all Schengen countries, that is you cant just pop up to another European union country to renew your visa). For me, there are many factors in retirement, some of them are pure technical/legislatives/comfort. And BTW - are those quoted 1,000 Euros monthly expenses includes rent? That means rent there is pretty cheap. I rather just visit these places, instead of the challenges of permanently residing there (and BTW, as a side note, Hotels there are not that cheap, just the hotels will cost more than 1,000/month, much more)
