1. Gaza Strip (Palestine/Israel - not getting into politics here) 2. South Sudan/Sudan Border 3. Chad Ok, now serious: 1. America - I love it here. There are so many different places where I would be happy living. 2. Italy - I had a professor who always talked about his summers living in a rural village near Florence. Sounds amazing. 3. Southern Spain/Morocco - Again, I've never been, but it seems really nice.

I'll have you know that I've been to Dominican Republic, California, and New York. I also drove through Arizona and New Mexico, staying at a hotel in Phoenix. AND... I had a layover in Maryland once. Apology accepted.
I'm curious about why you mentioned those countries (besides Mexico) I'm trying to plan a trip in August right now and was looking at those 3 countries, Brazil, and Costa Rica. I haven't decided yet though.
Panama: essentially the same as Costa Rica - beautiful beaches, forests, nice people, easy to travel around - but about 1000% less touristy. Also, if you ever needed/wanted to go to a big city, Panama City is also 1000% better than San Jose. Uses the dollar. Cheap land. Colombia: terrain (amazing mix of beaches and mountains/forests), nice people, beautiful women, better food than Panama/Costa, European influence in the big cities Argentina: was lucky enough to get to see every major region of the country, very diverse and beautiful country geographically (reminds me of Texas on steroids), amazing food, low cost of living, it does have a few cons politically/socially though Oh, I'd also throw in Belize.
