Colombia! http://www.flickr.com/photos/trebolazul/

Few travelers would consider Colombia their dream destination but provided you speak some Spanish, this can be a really fun place to live and work. You can live in the cities for $400-600 a month and still go out drinking every night.

It can be dangerous if you flash your wealth around and don’t take local advice but the people are educated and smart and it can be a good place to find local talent, albeit in Espanol.

Try Try Bogota for an urban vibe, Medellin and Cali for something a bit wilder, and Santa Marta or Cartagena for Caribbean beaches – though not quite as idyllic as elsewhere in the turquoise waters.
