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.
