Change - Good and Bad
I find it very exciting that younger people are living abroad and are earning a living. Places like Panama, Belize and Costa Rica are not only attracting retirees these days. The same technological advances these expats are using can also benefit trailing spouses, who often have to leave their careers behind, as well as retired individuals who want to stay involved.
The bad news in recent days has been hurricanes in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Felix slammed Nicaragua hard and Honduras even harder. At the same time, Henriette was hitting the tip of Baja California in Mexico. This is the first time that Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes to hit landfall simultaneously since the National Hurricane Center began keeping records. It is also the first time for two Category 5 Atlantic storms to make landfall in the same year.
Many factors have to come together for hurricanes to occur, but warmer weather is among them. Global warming may make living in tropical coastal regions more of a challenge. Should this determine where you choose to live? That’s up to you. But I have to admit that I moved from an area prone to earthquakes to a place with fewer chances of natural disasters
