speaks english,
Several come to mind. The best match for the criteria "English-speaking, safe, and cheap" are most likely the following:
1. Malta
2. New Zealand (unfortunately exceedingly difficult to get into)
3. some parts of India (I suggest the Bangalore area and Goa)
4. Namibia, for the most part
5. Within the US: rural Arizona and New Mexico (but medical tretament in US is astronomical - reserve option to get treatment in Mexico instead)
6. In Canada: The Maritimes Provinces and Saskatchewan (cold though!)
7. Many parts of Australia are still cheap and safe, but at least as hard to get access to as new Zealand
An alternative might be to choose a country with an expatriate population large enough to make language issues irrelevant. You will find that there are huge communities of Eglish speakers in the following countries, which are cheap to live in when you take into consideraton the socialized medicine and low rents:
-Spain, especially Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, and Mallorca, Gran Canaria
-Italy, especially Tuscany around Pisa/ Siena
And then there is the phenomenon of the countries whose second language is English to the extent that you can get by on it with anyone:
- Sweden (high food prices, but socialized medicine and very low real estate prices evens it out)
- Uruguay (quiet, clean, nice and European, very different from what you might expect)
I hope that helped.
