I'm planning to start an off-grid homestead in the next few years. I was born and raised in Brazil and currently live in the southern region, where the climate is humid and temperate. I really enjoy it, especially in the mountain areas where it's not too hot.

This past summer I visited the Andean Patagonia region (both Chilean and Argentinian sides), and I loved the people and the nature. But I'm also interested in exploring other places in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania (especially Australia and New Zealand).

Ideally, I'm looking for a place with a pleasant climate, not too hot and not too cold (light snow in winter is fine), and within 2 to 3 hours of a major airport. Any suggestions?
