Traveled a 1/3 of the world in the merchant marine for my early career so I knew there are true havens to be had if you dare step out of your normal comfort zone.
My search eliminated all but two locations.... Belize and the island of Montserrat. Montserrat won.... in my estimation the trade winds blow more frequently ... the people are friendlier ... the community is smaller with less crime and if you want a villa you get more for your money....
I'd like to see more expats come and enjoy this island.... If you can own a home in the states or Canada ... you can own an ocean view furnished villa not far from one of the beaches for about the average cost of a home in the states...
My home is valued at about 200K ... real estate tax on that home is 134 dollars per year. At present I figure 1000 dollars a month is adequate to live well on this island once you have establish a home and have procured wheels.
