 Retirement in Peru...
I'm thinking about visiting Lima and maybe other parts of Peru sometime next year (still in the thinking stage, no solid plans as yet). I have a friend who has offered a place to stay, so am not looking for commercial hotel info at this time. I want to check Peru out as a possible place to retire, because of its much lower cost of living than here in the US. If any retirees from the US, or anyone else who is living in Lima, are interested, I would love to hear from them, partly for information, and partly to make some new friends before I arrive there. I have Peruvian friends here in Portland who have been very encouraging and supportive about my ideas of spending at least large parts of the year there, or even moving there permanently. For living on a limited retirement income, they tell me it is a good idea, because the dollars stretch so much farther there. I want to do it in stages: first, a visit to check things out, then a longer visit of 3 months or so, and then perhaps extending that to a longer period. Any hints, suggestions or information would be most welcome and appreciated. |
