Let me tell you of my own retirement plans that kind of covers what you wish.
-- Home base in Texas, 3 -6 months.
-- Hunting in Africa and around the world. 2 - 3 months.
-- Mediterranean coast - 2-3 months (sailing, beaches etc.)
-- Argentina, 1 month. (Tango and friends)
-- Misc. travel 1-2 months.
Currently, I take a month off each quarter for a combination of the above places/activities. Once I am retired the duration would increase to match the times above. Obviously, as my body gets older time spent in home base would also increase.
Now, I have residences in two countries on the Mediterranean already, and people to take care of them so no further purchases required.
As a teenager I loved Africa (still do) when I first went there with my dad. Later, visiting an uncle in Zambia reinforced my romantic fantasies. I even had this idea to move there for retirement when I went to college. However, political realities in the 50+ years since that first trip nixed that idea.
Once piece of additional data to look at that is readily available is to look at life expectancy and number of doctors per 100K in African nations one is considering as well as facilities. As one gets older, access to medical care becomes very important. I will be 67 next week, even though based on my six monthly blood tests my biological age is 9 years younger (according to my PCP) that is still old, and one never knows .
