Sorry, you'll have to wait until we terraform another planet. They'll make lots of them just like that.

What places do you recommend?
Buenos Aires seems to fit really well except its not clean . I will go through each one of your points.

0. Probably the most 24 hour city you will ever find. I can guarantee this to you.

1. You can get to San Clemente or coast beach places on the Buenos Aires province, in 2 hours or so. Also you can take a ferry and go to Montevideo and get there pretty soon, too (and they have coast).

2. NOT!

3. Pretty safe, yeah.

4. Everyone speaks and understands english here.

5. Warm weather most of the year. Winters can be cold, though. BA has an average year weather of 18c. Summers are hot but not often the weather goes up to 35c.

6. Its actually very cheap, specially if you have dollars, thats why its full of tourists. Tourist from all over fly here only to eat in amazing restuarants and buy incredible clothes with euros, dollars and even reales. Heaven for shopers.

7. Probably the best nightlife you ll ever find.

8. We love foreings. Actually, people here is nicer to foreingers than to argentinians .

9. Sometimes too laidback. Check what owen wilson says in that dog movie.



So, I can see it goes really well in almost all of your points (except "clean", i cant promise that, though there are some lovely and clean neighbourhoods... not mine!)

Isnt the weather in Cali very dry?

What about Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bali, Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo?

My little Florida beachside town is all on your list except the nightlife and being open 24/7. Good luck with that list of yours...

Try the city of Natal, the safest state capital in Brazil:

Natal, Rio Grande do Norte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not so many people understand English there, but it's warm, humid, clean and safe.

There are a few Dutch people living in Natal, some are owners of hotels. Not many people, just a few dozens I guess.

Most people in Natal can't understand English, but there are many people in the local elite who speak English, and also some workers of the tourism industry. Of course learning some Portuguese is highly desirable.
