I moved my family to idyllic Indonesia – I’m happier but my pension is suffering
Around half a million people left the UK to live abroad last year, and it’s not just retirees.

The i Paper’s Expat Files follows Brits who have taken the leap and settled elsewhere, detailing the ups a...

When somebody says Como it is easy to think of a gargantuan Italian lake, Renaissance architecture and quaint railways. But now it’s Champions League football. Having been declared bankrupt in 2004 and again in 2016, a new iteration of Como 1907 was founded in 2017 and put into the fourth tier of Italian football. Less than a decade later the side reached Serie A, took on Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas as shareholders – the latter is also the team’s manager despite interest from Chelsea ea...

Tracing Andalucia’s sun-soaked southern edge – from Málaga to Mijas
In Andalucia, mornings start slowly, a quiet café con leche in a plaza framed by orange trees, perhaps. But the days linger long after the sun has slipped below the horizon. Tapas bars spilling onto cobbled streets, the bubble of chatter over the strumming of a guitar. In southern Spain, they like to squeeze every drop of joy from life. The region’s famous friendliness makes it the perfect destination for solo travellers, where every door opens to a welcome, and every bar turns strangers into f...

After decades of parenting, I regret not taking a child-free holiday sooner
Alongside the natural beauty and the inviting blue pool, it is, I think, the silence that strikes us first. An unbroken sense of calm. It’s almost eerie. We are on holiday, and the children are not with us. There are no waterslides, no doughnut-shaped lilos, and – hopefully – no peeing in the pool. It’s just us, my wife and me, sunbathing quietly. We are not ministering to our young people, and so we barely know what to do with ourselves. The answer comes in daily increments: nothing. We are h...
