Hello, everyone.

My name is Michael.

I am planning a move to South Africa in the not too distant future. At the age of 69 it's fair to say "If I live that long."

I'm currently retired and a full-time caregiver for my partner who is living with a terminal diagnosis. I own a home in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A couple of years ago I loaned my son money to purchase a property near Johannesburg. After my partner was diagnosed I considered my situation and realized that after my partner is gone I'll have no particular reason to stay in my current location and started thinking about a retirement visa and move to South Africa. I put the move on the back burner until my son told me about the Witteberg Nature Reserve and after a little research I decided to buy in to the reserve. I'm hoping to live out my days there and leave the home (yet to be built) to my son.
