Mexico
Colombia and Mexico are Latin America's frequent remote-worker pair. Mexico offers more flight connectivity to the US and a huge internal variety of climates. Colombia markets spring-like highland cities such as Medellín with a different risk and insurance conversation.
Neighborhood selection beats national branding. Spanish helps everywhere that matters for leases and clinics.
