I don't know why this didn't occur to me before, but it just dawned on me that Puerto Rico might be a good option. It is a blend of American and Latin culture, it would not be mandatory to learn Spanish just to get by, it would not require moving to an entirely different country, but it would provide the climate, Lifestyle, and freedom from a lot of the pollution I mentioned. Will require a lot less research and legwork to make a move to Puerto Rico. Anyone ever been there or can share any personal experience? I just saw a 17 acre farm for sale there for less than $200,000. Have heard there are abandoned properties and farms one can acquire cheaply.
