Lockwood launched the site in April, 2006 she says because although she knew there must be others who shared her dream, she could not find them. And so with the creation of RetiringSingles.com, she created a portal for would be world travelers, expatriates and investors.
Starting a new life in a foreign country is an exciting prospect, Lockwood said. But making a major life move like that on ones own is so daunting, it can paralyze you into doing nothing.

Life for a single in a couples world can be fraught with disadvantages -- dinners alone, single supplements, lonely hotel rooms... But this has changed with the advent of RetiringSingles.com a worldwide portal for singles with a dream of checking out of the rat race either temporarily or for life.
One of RetiringSingles.com charter members, Barbara Thompson said that she was amazed to find this site. "It is frustrating to find so few people my age who are passionate about life abroad," she said. "RetiringSingles.com helped me find my tribe. I hit it off with the first man I met on the site. One month later we took a week-long sailing course. Were now looking for a boat to buy and sail together."
RetiringSingles.com considers itself the little black book to get your name into if you want to meet other adventurous worldly singles.
