Who has lived in Guam or NMI retirement

Roatan- Ambercas Cay- or any of islands off Belize would be great. Island folks and life are something up my alley. But the Island folks will tell you dont goto the mainland

One of the St. something or anothers is a better choice IMO

My buddy moved there as a missionary about 20 years ago. Fished, kayaked, played soccer all the time and married a beautiful native woman. He will probably never move back.

I have a friend that lives in Roatan, he sells real estate. He is putting together some info. I will post with contact info when I get it.

St John is really nice and not too far. Not many people.

lets hear more about Roatan.
I searched it and it looks great.

I spent 8 days on Maya Cay back in 1981. The people were the friendliest folks I have ever met. Even the soldiers in town were great. I was 23yrs old and single, I almost did not come back home. The diving is the best I've ever seen. A quick map search shows it has become a bit more touristy than it was back then. The mainland sucked! But you have to remember back then, most of Central America was at war.

I admire folks that have the adventure in them to look outside the US for retirement. Me, I just can’t do it. Good luck to you.

Agreed. Would be awesome but not in our cards... don’t see us being able to live that far away from family.

I am planning retirement, wife wanted Hawaii :rolleyes way to expensive
So I have been studying and looking around https://discussions.texasbowhunter.c...ght=Retirement
Panama, Guam, NMI , Nicaragua
So asking anyone lived in Guam or Saipan, NMI , it’s American and has some perks for us looking at retirement
Opinion

Out of all the places you researched, do any of them offer you the possibility of buying a farm or ranch? Which place offers the best hunting?

[S-3 Ranch]

NMI, Nicaragua have hunting and fishing
Nicaragua, Panama has some paperwork/ residence visas to obtain
NMI is USA
American Samoa is illegal to own property unless you’re 50% Samoan

Good thread, following!

We honeymooned on St. johns 27 years ago and went back 3 years ago for some meetings. Still beautiful, it cannot be developed as it is a national park. I dont think we could live their full time but 6 months would probably work for us. St. Thomas is super touristy and kinda dumpy.

This isn't the site I was looking for but may answer some questions:

Just forwarded this link to my wife. We are definitely loving the global citizen aspects of life.

A retired couple can expect to spend about $2,000 to $2,500 a month for all their needs on Roatán. Let's start with housing. Rents start at about $500 a month for an apartment or condo within walking distance of the beach. You'll pay around $800 to $1,000 for something right on the water.

St Croix , is kinda a dump depends what part of the island you are on , I like being off the beaten path,

In our specific situation is the same with Family.
