As mentioned earlier, something to consider with a huge change of life and move to a distant land includes culture and political climate.
I know as an American, I could never be happy as a resident in Rome because there is such a large and vocal percentage of the population that is Anti-American. I have been personally blamed for electing George Bush and continuing the war in Afghanistan with no recognition of my personal views on the matter. Definitely not the type of interaction I want on the public street or public transportation.
Make sure wherever you go, you will be welcomed by the locals and will not be treated as an outsider. Living in a compound to me is not where I would go even if that compound had the nicest things on the planet. We are social creatures so, being able to be out in society and "fit in" matters a lot to me.
Then there are the issues of personal safety. "If you had no ties and money wasn’t an issue" implies a good standard of living and potentially a lot of wealth relative to the economy you move into. Kidnapping, graft and corruption, and similar things can be a real issue with some possible moves. I would consider this sort of thing against lottery winners who end up unhappy with a worse quality of life because of the constant stream of people with hardship stories looking for money, fund raisers pestering you for money, etc.. It is shocking how many of the Lotto winners commit suicide or die in poverty so, it is something I consider with my travels overseas.
Any place I would go, I would want a standard of living similar to the 'average' person in that society to avoid the Lotto-effect.
And where ever you go, the local politics have to be something you are comfortable with. Otherwise, will you truly be happy there?
If you are happy in a compound like my co-worker who lived in one while in Saudi Arabia, that could be almost anywhere on Earth or possibly other planets if people like Musk and Bezos get their way and are successful.
Like my online friend who retired in the UK and moved to Mongolia, understand what makes YOU happy first. He ended up breaking his ankle in a low speed motorcycle tipover and, he was pleasantly shocked at the quality and cost of hospital care. As I recall it, the only thing he had to pay for were some pain meds for the trip to the hospital as everything else was covered under their Socialist healthcare system which he said was pretty good and pretty modern with his X-rays and some other medical procedures related to setting the broken bones.
What part of the world has the right blend of society features for each of us will be different because we are different people. Some will want the Mountains in Switzerland and some will want to be in Nepal around those mountains! Some will want the beaches in the Pacific region, some will want the beaches in the EU, and others may prefer African beaches. Understand yourself first, and then find the areas that fit your personality, wants, and desires, as what each of us wants is going to be pretty different.
With my next or any future "permanent" moves, I will be looking to rent as well so when things change unexpectedly like I personally see today in Texas or witness in the news in Ukraine, I want to be able to pick up and move easily. So, that means some hard choices about things like planting grapes or having Olive trees. Cars and furniture are likely casualties as well with any future moves. So, in my case I would need to 'unburden' myself from family treasures and mementos which may not be something some people could do. On the flip side, this may be helpful to your heirs so they don't have to sort through grandmas chest and your back closet (or out building) of "treasure". A bank account is a lot easier to move when traveling or to distribute to your heirs than a storage facility of "stuff".
Thoughts like this is what makes a Sailboat seem like a good possible option as I spend a few months in the Caribbean, a few in Europe or Africa, and then into the Pacific as the seasons change to keep sunny weather and sandy beaches in view during the other Hemispheres "winter".
