I've spent time (anywhere from a few days to a few years) in all of the 50 states, and from a few weeks to a few years in eight other countries.
If you asked me where "the best place to retire" would be, I seriously doubt if I could narrow my list down to fewer than a "top 20".
I can relate. My past jobs took me to various length visits in about 50% of the US states and to about 25% of the world's countries. During my stays it was my favorite "past time hobby" to try to understand everyday challenges to live in the area, and dream if I could actually live enjoyable life in the country or state I was visiting. With some flexibility to choose the location within the area the answer was "YES, I could make it work, and it would actually be fun" 100% of the time. Well, I did not have an opportunity to travel most of Africa or most of the arctic areas of the world, so those might have lowered my success rate a bit.
