I would be interested to find out too.

Yes, I would love to move back but for the time being, I’ll be happy with longer vacations.
Until then we can dream about those beautiful turquoise waters and watch some youtube, every now and…[Read more]

HI, jean. I think number one would be the “traditional” Mediterranean Diet and lifestyle. Another big attribute would be the size of the community. Small villages and islands do fare better. Even traditional greetings like hello or good buy are said with a simple “ya sou” which would translate to “your health.” So, Ya Sou, Jean.

P.S You could…[Read more]

More than that Jean. It’s a place where people live longer with less Parkinson’s.

I used to but I still have relatives there so, I can go visit in the summers.
