Well, we've moved on to the first step...we've chosen France and likely somewhere in the area of Antibes/Nice. We have some familial attachment to the country and we speak the language so that's two hurdles we've jumped.

I'd be interested in hearing from Ziners who have taken the plunge and about the barriers, hurdles and challenges to buying property out of your home town or country. I'd also be interested in knowing how much time Ziners may spend in their "home away from home". Lucy, Toronto
