If you’re thinking about retiring abroad from the UK in your 60s or beyond, these Blog pages are here to help. I have divided the Blogs into two Chapters -
1) The UK Chapter (planning to move)
2) The Vietnam Chapter (Life in SE Asia)
I share practical, first-hand experience of moving abroad later in life — from what to organise before you leave the UK to what everyday life is really like once you arrive.
You’ll find articles covering:
What to do before leaving the UK (pensions, property, healthcare, paperwork)
Renting accommodation abroad
SIM cards, banking, ATMs, and managing money
Cultural differences and settling in
Everyday life as a retiree abroad
Living in Vietnam, with a particular focus on Hanoi
Whether you’re just exploring the idea or actively planning your move, these posts are written to be clear, practical, and easy to follow, especially for people over 60.
1) The UK Chapter (planning to move)
