E143 Retire in Pogradec, Albania
Canadian Karen Espig wanted to retire early so she could spend more time pursuing her passion: painting. Her dream was to live in Europe and be on or near water, with a very limited budget. It appears she accomplished all of her goals by retiring at the age of 52 and moving to Pogradec, Albania, a small city which sits on a large lake. Karen now has time to focus on her art in her impressive apartment in Pogradec, for which she pays under $400 per month including utilities. For more about Karen’s fearless move, tune into Episode 143 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
Check out Karen’s paintings, photographs and writings on her website.
