Colombia tipped as one of the world’s top retirement destinations
Twenty years back, it would have been hard to believe that Colombia would soon be considered a world-class destination for people looking to retreat overseas. Nonetheless, a look at recent global rankings show Colombia and its cities to be among the “creme de la creme” when on the search for retirement locations.
Medellin, Colombia might not be the first city that springs to mind when considering the world’s best retirement havens, however it looks like the South American country’s shady reputation is quickly evaporating to make it one of the top places to go for happy living.
“Most comfortable, affordable and convenient” – such is the description for the website Live and Invest Overseas’ choice picks for retirement cities, of which Medellin takes second spot.
-------------
Described as “Colombia’s city of springtime and flowers,” Medellin’s aesthetic, security, cost, easy living and “screaming real estate bargains” clearly stood out to the scouts sent all over the world to create a report based on real-life experience of the locations.
