185 places

How it sorts: each thing you pick scores every place from 0 to 1 for your month (warm: afternoons from 64°F (18°C) up; mild: close to 75°F (24°C); dry: under 7 inches (180 mm) of rain; cheap stay: where its Inside Airbnb median night ranks among these places; clean air: its PM2.5 that month, full at the WHO's guideline of 5 µg/m³ and empty at 35; fast internet: where it ranks in M-Lab's tests; safe: the US travel advice level, with Levels 1 and 2 both counting as everyday travel; easy visa: your passport's entry rule for the country, best for 90 days or more visa-free; shares my work hours: how many hours of a 9 to 5 in your time zone overlap a 9 to 5 there), and the places sort by the average. With nothing picked, it's the best places for your month: mild, dry and safe. The US has no State Department advisory of its own, so it counts as everyday travel. On each card, the bars show the same scores: green is good, amber is middling, red is weak, and an empty bar means no data yet.

Weather: NOAA station summaries, IDEAM for Medellín, NASA POWER elsewhere. Internet: M-Lab's open speed tests within 25 km of each place over the last 12 months, each user counted once a day (read in BigQuery; a place needs 1,000 tests from 100 users, else the tests within 60 km, else the country's figure, and says which). Safety: the US State Department's advisories, read 2026-09-29. Cost of living: one person's month, with rent from the lower quarter of Inside Airbnb's month-long whole homes (June 2026, CC BY 4.0) where it covers the city and estimated from the country's housing prices elsewhere, and the rest from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2024 spending survey at the country's prices (World Bank ICP 2021, CC BY 4.0). Stay cost: Inside Airbnb's median night for a whole place. Air: fine particles (PM2.5) from OpenAQ's open air quality data, the nearest 3 government monitors within 25 km (else low-cost sensors) whose data license allows commercial use, each month's average since 2023, credited on each place's page; where no station is within 25 km, an estimate from Copernicus's CAMS global reanalysis (monthly PM2.5, 2023 to 2025, CC BY 4.0), adjusted to the stations, and labeled as one. Visas: your passport's rules from the data behind the visa-free countries map. Videos and photos from Pexels, Coverr and Wikimedia Commons, credited on each place. Music from Coverr.

How the ranking works

Each place gets three scores for the month, from 0 to 1:

  • Mild – how close the average afternoon is to 75°F (24°C)
  • Dry – how little rain falls that month, with 7 inches (180 mm) or more scoring zero
  • Safe – the US travel advice, with Levels 1 and 2 both counting as everyday travel

The places sort by the average of the three. Pick something in the finder, like warm or beach, and it replaces the default.

Where the numbers come from

Every figure comes from an open source, and each place's page names its own:

  • Weather – NOAA's monthly station summaries where a station is close, IDEAM's normals for Medellín, and NASA POWER's climate averages elsewhere
  • Internet – M-Lab's open speed tests within 25 km of each place over the last 12 months
  • Everyday prices – the World Bank's price level for the country, where 100% means US prices
  • Safety – the US State Department's travel advisory level, with Levels 1 and 2 both counting as everyday travel
  • Air – fine particles (PM2.5) from OpenAQ's open air quality data, the stations within 25 km whose license allows commercial use, each month's average since 2023

The videos and photos come from Pexels, Coverr, Pixabay and Wikimedia Commons, each credited on its place.
