They include your ability to adapt to a foreign culture, overcome language barriers and find access to quality health care. You\u2019ll also need to adjust to living far away from friends and family members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo move to a place just because you think you can get by cheaply isn\u2019t a good motivation,\u201d says Kathleen Peddicord, author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.moneytalksnews.com\/?v=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHow-Retire-Overseas-Everything-Abroad%2Fdp%2F0525538461%2F&amp;source=msn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-id=\"72\" data-m=\"{&quot;i&quot;:72,&quot;p&quot;:60,&quot;n&quot;:&quot;partnerLink&quot;,&quot;y&quot;:24,&quot;o&quot;:11}\">How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Good candidates for living abroad have a strong sense of adventure and curiosity about other countries, she adds.

According to the U.S. State Department, many foreign medical facilities require cash payments and don\u2019t accept U.S. insurance plans. People often buy health insurance policies that will cover them during their time abroad. In some countries, the cost of medical care is so reasonable that many expatriates decide to pay out of pocket, says Dan Prescher, who writes for International Living and lives in Cotacachi, Ecuador. Throughout the world, the closer you live to major metropolitan areas, the more likely you\u2019ll be able to find quality medical care, he adds. While small towns offer a lower cost of living, they typically have fewer medical facilities. Prescher notes that many countries that provide government-supported health care benefits allow foreigners to participate once they\u2019ve met residency requirements.
