We add destinations slowly and on purpose. A country goes on this list once we have people on the ground we'd trust with our own family.
Every place looks good in photographs. What matters is how a place holds up across the things that determine daily life. Before we recommend a destination to anyone, we work through six of them.
How hard is it to build a life and a social circle here as an outsider?
What's the real quality and availability of care, and what does it cost out of pocket?
How realistic is the paperwork for someone in your situation?
How straightforward is it to rent or buy without getting taken advantage of?
If you want to earn income here, is that practical or a legal headache?
Not headlines. What daily life actually looks like in the neighborhoods people live in.
We keep the detailed version of this internally and use it in consultations, because a number on a page is a bad substitute for a conversation about your situation.

That's the normal place to be. A short call is usually faster than months of research, and we'll tell you if we think somewhere outside our current list is a better fit for you.
