Answer 7

Tucson, Sonora Norte

  If your only requirement is high speed internet.  You have a lot of choices in the world. I am in bolilvia and they have it here.

Answer 8

Great question!

Why only Mexico?  It's a beautiful country but, in many parts, becoming more unstable every month.

You may also want to consider Panama, Costa Rica & Chile.  They tend to be much more stable countries (for the past 18 years.)

Plan to rent a home for 6 - 12 months... by then you'll know if you love it or hate it!

Note, in many countries, you will not be able to find work (legally) so, if possible, plan to have your own business.  You will also need to research the laws of the country regarding your own business.  They can differ significantly and may require that you deposit $10K - 60K in a local bank.  For example, I believe Costa Rica now requires $60K to be deposited for self-employed Americans & Canadians... depending on how their money is earned, ie, brick and mortar business or web based.

Best wishes!
