yes definitely. I forgot to even put costa rica up there its a top one on the list.
as for malawi, jamaica, and colombia if I were to move there I would be living the real simple life. probably just live on saved cash. I would have to really love the culture to stay forever though. But I can totally picture myself living in one of those places for a few years. Violence doesn't really concern me too much. New Orleans has... christ I don't even know... probably 300 murders a year on average I guess. and 2x that come up missing which basically means they got dumped in the swamp or weighted down in the gulf. Its just part of the way things are. The people without money live right next to the people that do... its just inevitable. people do what they gotta do to survive and thats world wide.
you can see our crazy asses make new york city crime rates look like rodeo drive. so it really doesn't bother me. unless there are gunfights daily on every block I can probably get over it.

as for the medical field pretty much spain and maybe brazil too are my only real options if I wanted to stay there and work, or just change my line of work. And I don't think brazil is my place. But I got a long time to think about it either way. I'll give new orleans another 5-6 yrs and depending where its going I'll have to decide.
