Stretching after a long hibernation... I am not new here but am, after the upheavals of these last years, newly awakened and ready!
I'm a foreign language teacher, retired due to physical disabilty (read as "My Social Security does not meet most countries' requirements"--but fortunately I have investments that do) and seeking to move indefinitely with my caregiver and our 2 dogs somewhere (outside of USA or Australia):
- hot and humid (I'd be happy never to see 60 degrees ever again)
- tranquil and safe, both from natural disasters and crime (including attacks on bodily autonomy)
- economical
We plan to work on my health, farm a little, avoid nightlife 
, interact positively with the local community. Between the 2 of us, we've lived in 8 different countries and speak, at various levels of fluency, 6 different languages.
We're open to any reasonable suggestions and advice (i.e., does not include dumping the dogs). I'm planning to start with Mexico and write the consulate regarding their requirements for the Visa de Residente Permanente y/o Temporal and specifically their requirements with regard to dependents. I would need for them to consider my caregiver as such.
Phew! Joints are lubricated... Thank you!
