The Best Places To Retire Abroad In 2025
During their 23 years together and 11 years of marriage, Jeff Hammerberg and Merlin Parker have moved from Colorado to California to Texas, working in real estate. Their last stop was in Austin, a liberal Lone Star State enclave that matched their personal politics. But after five years, as they prepared to retire, Hammerberg, 66, and Parker, 59, concluded it had become too expensive. Moreover, they didn’t like the political environment in the rest of the state, or even the U.S. “Being a gay couple, Texas was not very compatible,” Parker says. So in March they moved with Wally, their 12-year-old Corgie mix, to Lisbon, Portugal, on the western edge of Europe.

It’s your own private driver, a comfy car, total freedom, and no stress. Oh, and it’s surprisingly affordable. I used Daytrip on my recent adventure from Brighton to London with stops at Hever Castle (Anne Boleyn’s childhood home) and Winston Churchill’s Chartwell Estate, and now I’m lowkey obsessed.

Sagrada Familia Tickets Skip the Line: Everything You Need to Know for a Stress-Free Experience. AI-Generated.
I have seen the grandeur of the Colosseum, stood in awe before Machu Picchu, and been lost for words in the temples of Kyoto. But there are a few places in the world that pierce through any armor and make your heart stop. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of those places. It is not just a building. It is a living organism, a symphony frozen in stone, a dialogue between an architect and God that continues to this day.
