When you started to think about retiring, did you ever picture yourself riding your bicycle in the Alps or spending every morning walking along a beach in South Africa or cruising on the Sea of Cortez? 

Several hundred UC retirees must have had such a dream because, for a variety of reasons, they have chosen to live outside the United States during their retirement. See current New Dimensions article.

Some two dozen retirees responded to a New Dimensions call for accounts of living abroad. They have settled in various parts of the globe, from Australia to India to the United Kingdom, where life ranges from laid-back in the countryside to busy in the big city.
