Southern Italy. Far cheaper than the US, awesome food and wines, great life style for the money spent, easily accessible form many larger cities nearby, far cheaper real state than the rest of Italy, great beaches and areas to ride. Drawbacks are: not very english speaking oriented as the rest of Italy, a few years behind in high technology use, not so affluent as the rest of Italy.
