The world we cover at International Living isn’t the same one you hear about on the nightly news. We seek out opportunity—not ratings. This frees us, mercifully, from the “if it bleeds, it leads” mandate. So we can seek out the fortuitous instead of the unfortunate.

Good news: We have lots to tell you. Bad news: Sometimes it’s too much. Readers bemoan: “I’m overwhelmed by the options.” With friendly, good-value cities…beaches…highland retreats…historic colonial enclaves…and lakeside getaways scattered all over the globe, I understand it can be hard to know where to focus.

That’s why we created our annual Global Retirement Index—to help you navigate “our world.” It ranks the best destinations for retiring overseas today. And it’s informed as much by on-the-ground intelligence as by statistics—which is to say: It’s our judicious opinion. It’s designed to help you compare and contrast what we believe are your best options for retirement abroad in 2013. See below for that article and all the other articles in your January 2013 issue.
