Hi Synthia,
You sound pretty similar to me, circumstance wise! although I am not 'travelling around' I am certainly looking for somewhere to retire happily.
I too had been researching the far east and while doing so got sidetracked by Panama. I am finding it very hard though to actually make 'contact' with anyone who, with similar 'circumstances' to mine, have made the move to either of these destinations. I too have a limited income and am quite introvert which makes it very important to get the destination right. I moved to Cyprus early last year after break up of long marriage and although I have never regretted the move I feel i have never really settled. I would like to try somewhere else while I still have the courage to do so If you could share some of your experiences/advice I would be so very grateful.
