Go to South America, somewhere like Brazil, Uruguay or Peru. Mexico's president is an actual socialist and there is a serious risk that he will ruin their economy and ally with drug dealers like Maduro and Fernandez did. I think Brazil is the best option because their population is in a conservative wave right now and their money devaluated a lot in the last 2 years. With 100.000 dollars you can buy a big farm with lots of cattle or an apartment in front of the beach.

Thanks for contributing here. I will give my view. Feel free to disagree.

Brazil and Uruguay are out because they don't allow home schooling. I have never been to Peru (I have been to all the others), so I can't comment on it.

The left-right divide in Latin America is very different from the West. I consider myself far right but I like many Latin American leftists because mostly they are just against globalism. I speak Spanish and so I can follow local politics directly. Mexico's president actually has a lot in common with Trump. He was accused of working with the Russians by the corrupt establishment. And he resisted covid insanity. He has done nothing authoritarian that I know of. And note that he is one of the few world leaders who has not yet accepted Biden's claim of winning. If you speak Spanish then I can look for some videos of him for you.

I can understand a bit of Spanish and I would love to have more info on this. I do like mexico a lot, but I have a great fear of any government aligned with the Sao Paulo Forum. I really hope you are right and the guy is not so bad as I think.

    I had a friend from Argentina many years ago and I don't know how it is now but that is another possibility.

    Argentina is in a serious crisis right now, many people are moving away from the country. Their president is a crazy socialist that is imposing the biggest lockdown in the world. Their economy is going to shit. If they don't change their route they will be the next Venezuela.

    If you are familiar with the countries you mentioned, could you elaborate on specific regions or towns?

    I am familiar with Brazil and I know a bit about Uruguay. In Brazil, the best places are in the south of the country, in states like Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná because they were colonized by germans and italians. It is super organized and clean, people in general are very polite and educated and the climate is much colder than the rest of Brazil. One of the great advantages of the south is that it is just next to the border, so you can easily cross legaly to Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina to visit and buy things over there with a nice price. The best city in the south right now is Curitiba, it has a great quality of life.

    Minas Gerais is a little bit different, but is also very interesting. It's a very old part of brazil, with a more solid rural catholic tradition. There are many beautiful cities with lots of history, and is not very populated so the land is cheap.

    São Paulo is a giant megalopolis, with lots of opportunities, but also lots of problems. It is very modern and cosmopolite and receives immigrants from all parts of the world. It is an interesting place to go if you work with big business, but it is a tough place if you are poor.

    But the only place you should not go at all is Rio de Janeiro, the city is very expensive and is in a serious decline. It is similar to detroit during the decadence, with violence, crimes and unemployment. all previous governors of Rio were in jail for corruption and the current one is facing an impeachment. Rio is in a serious crisis and has no perspective of improving.

    There are already actual American settlements in Brazil, who established after the secession war in Americana and Santa Barbara do Oeste. They still maintain some of the culture and language, but I don't know how much they preserve.

    In Uruguay the best place is Punta del Este. It is a big touristic city with casinos, paradisiac beaches and rich people.
