Retire There with Gil & Gene E129 Retire in Roatan, Honduras
Ted and Kathy Bergman, comedy writers in their 70s, felt they were being forced out of Northern California by the ever growing high cost of living. They researched beautiful, yet inexpensive, places to live and decided on Roatan, an island in Honduras 40 miles off the mainland. So enamored by the Island, the couple moved there without ever visiting it. They love it so much they have remained for five years. Fondness for the locals and expats on the island supersedes their disdain for the bugs and bad roads. Find out more about retiring to Roatan on Episode 129 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
Ted Bergman is the author of 3 books: (1) The Real Roatan: Inside the Caribbean’s Laughing Island.: Two comedy writers retire to the Honduran island of Roatan. Here is the good, the bad, the beaches, the bugs and the funny; (2) The Billion Dollar Tallywhacker: When the Mar-A-Mansions, Super Yachts and Private Jets Aren’t Enough; and (3) Confessions of a Rogue TV Comedy Writer: Forty Years of Fame, Fun and Combat Inside The Writers Room.
