About
RETIREMENT WITHOUT BORDERS
By Barry Golson with Thia Golson and Expert Expats
Barry Golson knows all about retiring abroad – he and his wife Thia have lived in eight different countries. Now, they select the best low-cost, high-quality expatriate-friendly locales around the world and explain how to investigate, choose, and settle in each country with minimum hassle and maximum pleasure.
Taking you step-by-step through the process of researching, testing, and finally living abroad, the Golsons’ practical how-to guide covers all the major issues, including healthcare, finances, real estate, taxes and immigration. Then they travel the world recommending the very best places to retire. Each location is profiled by an expatriate writer who has made that country his or her home and who knows exactly how to answer all the questions about living richly and economically in some of the world’s most beautiful places.
“Retirement Without Borders is for smart people who not only want to think outside the box, but live outside the box as well. Golson doesn’t just give you a road map, he gives you the compelling reasons, as well as the pitfalls and pleasures, of why the low-coast, high-quality expatriate life is one of the last great – and rewarding – boomer adventures.”
– Peter Greenberg, travel editor of NBC’s The Today Show
“Retirement Without Borders is absolutely positively the best book that I have read on why, where, and how to retire abroad.”
