Retirement Huts

The thing about travelling is that you get a taste of different lifestyles and you end up imagining yourself living or heck even retiring in some of these places. It may be a bit premature but when I think of retirement (and I honestly do) these tropical seaside huts come to mind.

Ah wishful thinking. What about you? Which places would you like to move to and why?

My favorite is the middle one since it looks cozy and has character and no stairs for aging knees to battle with! I am okay, now ,with stairs – but may not be later…

In a simple shack in Ecuador. When I was there last fall I met someone and we spent my last 3 weeks there together. We went on weekend trip to a small village and stayed in a very simple shack (with an outdoor shower – BLISS!) in the forest. Just the right elevation so that it was moderate temperatures year round. Ahhhhhh….

  Woooh! I sense a love story behind this! Do tell!

    Not much to tell. Just your usual traveling boy meets local former Jehovah’s Witness girl, boy and girl spend 3 wonderful weeks together, boy and girl talk about possible future, boy returns to US and girl decides that she is converting to Islam story. Nothing to see here. Move along now. Or the story is here.

    But it was amazing while it lasted. She still breaks my heart every time we talk.
    
    And I would still be very happy to live in that shack.

      it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Still sucks though. I want to tell my story but it doesn’t fit the platform of my blog. Ahem. Haha!

        Oh no you don’t! You can’t ask me to share my story and not reciprocate. Publicly or in an email, I think you owe me a story…

I want to retire to London and live in the middle of constant action!
I live in a Mediterranean fishing village where the local men go our in 2-man rowing boats to fish for a living and the beach is 2 minutes walk away. It’s idyllic but boring. When yo work you want to relax, but when you retire you want to be stimulated!

One life isn’t long enough to see all the things on my Bucket List, but of all the places I’ve been to so far Venice is perhaps the place I’d most like to retire to.

I wouldn’t mind the third one. I think to swim every day in a calm sea would be my ideal. I absolutely adore the island of Paxos in Greece – heaven!

I could live there, in one of those huts, in a heartbeat. Ah, where is this?

Give me access to the beach, mountains, lake, great food and an airport……aaaahhh sounds like retirement to me.

Every time I travel to a new country I wind up thinking , “Hey , I could live here” . For retirement it would definitely be somewhere tropical with the beach nearby but developed enough to have some good restaurant and coffee shops.

Hi Maria, I love Colombia!!! The City of Medellin is a particular favorite. Your post reminded me of Baranquilla. Thanks for asking the questions that make us think.

The pictures are beautiful. I love looking at the lovely places in HGTV International. But, having lived overseas for two years, I couldn’t live outside the US again. You give up too much. And, I do love my grandchildren. It’s a nice place to visit……

I can’t really imagine staying put in one place right now. I love to go from place to place and it would be hard to pick just one. However, if I had to it would definitely be some place warm. Sometimes I like cities like Rome, Paris, London, etc. and other times I like relaxing on the beach . However, I would definitely have to have a great golf course close by.

Hey Maria,

My posted comment, I believe says it all… I think, I hope…

Ah Maria how about me? If not Roma where I am headed again next month, at least not too far from you so as to be witness to your constant creative magic, lest we forget the beauty of your person. Thank you for the soulful continuity. JJF Jean-Jacques Fournier

I would never move- not at my age and I do not like change and having to adapt. I like all of the huts but the 2nd pic is a lovely looking hut and the 3rd one is on a hillside. If there should be too much rain- possibly the hillside would come crumbling down upon you and your hut. Great photos as usual.
