About The 10 Best Countries In The World To Retire And Grow Old Disgracefully:
With 60 being the new 40 many retirees don’t want to retire gracefully they want to retire disgracefully and have some fun in lives while they still can. While doing research for my retiree travel books series I have met retirees, who much to the dismay and sometimes disgust of their children and grandchildren, decided to move away from the comfort of their home towns to start new lives far away in the mystical Far-East and change their lives forever. One of them now a rides a Harley Davidson motorbike, something that he had wanted to do since he was sixteen years old when he saw Dennis Fonda ride one from California to New Orleans in the movie “Easy Rider”. Another retiree I interviewed was in his mid 60s and had married a 28 year old bar lady, 14 months later she gave birth to a baby girl and he was loving the responsibility of being a father for the very first time…and yes they were very happy together. Another retiree I talked with had bought a sailing boat and learned how to sail at the age of 63 (41 in new years) and now spends his time sailing around Southeast Asia. You don’t have to go to those extremes, but if you have secretly longed to do something different in your life while you were working and raising a family now is the time to do it…you don’t want to die wondering what might have been.
You may be retiring soon or maybe you have already retired after working hard all of your life and you will have the time and money to live your life to the fullest. Well you hope that you will have enough money to live your life to the fullest. Many people that have retired or are retiring had well paying jobs, a healthy superannuation account, invested wisely and saved enough money to live out their retirement years in comparative luxury. Unfortunately many more retirees have not been so lucky or so foresighted and only have their government retirement pension and whatever savings and investments they have managed to accumulate over their working lives, and for them the thought of living in retirement can sometimes be quite scary.
For many retirees, retiring to an overseas country has become a real consideration, because they can spend a lot less money, and get a whole lot more due to the lower cost of living than they would be able to by staying in their home countries. Add to this the tempting incentives of tropical climates and exciting new experiences to spice up your life and you can see why more and more retirees from all over the world are looking for alternative retirement options abroad. This book lists the ten best countries in the world for retirees to live where they can enjoy their retirement to the fullest on their pensions.
• Thailand
• Malaysia
• Vietnam
• Bali
• Cambodia
• Spain
• Portugal
• Costa Rica
• Belize
• Panama
The ten countries are all waiting to welcome you; it will be up to you to decide which is the best country that suits your personal circumstances.

Author Bio:
I am originally from England and spent most of my life working as a chef on cruise ships and in hotels and restaurants around the world. I have lived and worked in ten different countries including, Jamaica, Bermuda, Australia, The Falkland Islands, The USA, Papua New Guinea, Singapore and The Philippines. I retired to Thailand four years ago with the intentions of becoming an author in my retirement and I currently live on the island of Koh Samui.
I have written eight books to-date, my first book “The Retire in Thailand Handbook (The first six months)” was published worldwide by London publishers Austin Macauley in November of 2019 and I have written four other travel-related books aimed at retirees and baby boomers in my “Retirees Travel Guide Series of Books”. I have also written a historical novel “The Deptford Mask Murders” which recounts the first-time fingerprints were used to solve a murder in the UK in1905, and the outcome that would change the way police forces around the world would be able to identify criminal suspects by the ridges on their fingers, as well as my biography “You Will Never Amount to Anything”
Last month I published my latest book “Thai Died Murder in Paradise (Coronavirus has come to Koh Samui but so has another Killer”. I started to write a book in April of this year when I was in self-isolation after I contracted the coronavirus. While I was in lockdown and seeing the effect that the virus was having on the world, I decided to write a suspense novel that was centred on Covid-19 that would highlight the difficulties and frustrations that any police force would face when trying to solve a major crime during the worse pandemic in over 100 years, at a time when most of the population, except for essential services were told by their governments to stay home to stop the virus from spreading.
