When you retire will you move somewhere else or stay in familiar surroundings?

Move away from family so as not to be baby sitters?
Stay because of close friends?
Do you want to travel or fish in the local river/lake?
Close friendships are a blessing and not everyone can readily make new friends in a new place.
I think I will retire to the countryside close to a National Park with a river nearby.

I'd like the nostalgia, but perhaps there will be different nostalgia in the future as i move around

@MartinTheFirst Familiar surroundings are comforting.
Moving elsewhere expands our experiences.

@Gusman who got time for new experiences when theyre old and tired?

Gusman · 61-69, M

@MartinTheFirst Not everyone is old and tired when they retire.
Many people are fit and healthy, many people retire early and have 40 years? ahead of them.
