I am an environmental scientist, living in Canada. I can live in UK as well.
Both of these countries, however, are too expensive with my pension income.
I want to retire in a country with moderate climate, clean environment, safe and friendly atmosphere, cheaper cost of living with good health and living standards and services.
I would like to own a small nice home in village settings with a small farm for physical activities and exercise to stay healthy.
I should be able to afford & maintain a household help so that I may have sufficient time to pursue my academic interests
