10. Thailand- Per IL, the draw is the affordability, and the myriad of options from big city to smaller enclaves. 

9. Uruguay - The draw is the diversity and the European feel of the area. 

8. Malta - It's actually 3 islands (archipelago), and was a British Colony until 1964, so there are English touches, such as red post boxes. 

7. Mexico - Low crime rate, and very affordable. 

6. Colombia - Low cost of living, inexpensive properties & a colorful & diverse culture. 

5. Spain - You really don't need to be fluent in Spanish, and it's a great jumping off point for exploring Europe. 

4. Costa Rica - Nature lover's dream, top quality affordable health care, and one of Latin America's most peaceful countries. 

3. Malaysia - Affordable, many other expats, and diverse culture. 

2. Ecuador - Low cost of living, breathtaking beauty, great quality of life.

 

And, 

1. Panama - IL says this is a TRUE First World City - might be worth a look!

I have heard good things about Panama, not sure any others on the list would interest me. The Bahamas would be just fine right now
