My wife and I are considering moving to Florida from Taiwan, we moved to Taiwan 3 years ago to retire. Things have changed with China becoming more aggressive so we think it’s time to move back to US, both of us retired limited income so we are just check out our options and Melbourne checks a lot of the boxes.
