Do you think a wheel-chair bound person could retire to South America? I would appreciate your honest opinion. And if so, where would be the best place? Thank you.
It would be possible but very difficult I’m sad to say. And maybe a little uncomfortable as you rarely see folks in wheel chairs, so would stand out considerably. That said – and I recommend this a lot, has nothing to do with having to have assistance with mobility – in many ways taking a year sabattical is the BEST way to live and experience SA, and that could be done and very enjoyable I think. I could see a trip to Iguazu, then renting an apartment in Buenos Aires (where you can see a lot without having to travel far and the neighborhoods are entertaining in and of themselves) or Bariloche, Argentina where you have many foreigners so may be easier to meet other folks. Islolated areas without an expat community definitely very difficult, but more importantly, would not be that much fun! I know, I’ve done it and done ok but a large part of that is I had online work to keep me busy and my son to watch over so that kept me busy as well, plus he speaks fluent Spanish which helped a ton. Anymore questions about areas, please ask. Hope this helps, Molly
Molly,
Thanks a lot! We have looked at several countries superficially as possible for relocation and had been fascinated with Belize but know that it is still a bit backward compared to some others.
I’m a huge beach fan, so Belize sounds heavenly
Beach areas we have been to would be extremely difficult to access with a wheelchair, but haven’t been to Brazil and that may be an option for you that I am just not familiar with.
It is all a matter of how much you want to travel when you relocate I think, as of course there is little wheeelchair accessibility in these countries. I wasn’t sure if you needed assistance, or had a travel partner, but from the above it sounds like you do which makes the situation much more doable, and enjoyable! Best of luck, Molly
