Colombia has your name written all over it.

Why Colombia? AFAIK, isn't Colombia a little dangerous?

In spots, but it is easy to avoid those. Bogota, Cartagena, even Medellin, and any number of others, are as safe as cities anywhere else. And there are amazingly beautiful stretches of countryside, which may not matter to you. food is good, including street food.

Like any foreign city, you want to do a little research on which parts you might want to avoid.

Flights are pretty reasonable, prices are as well.

Maybe it won't appeal to you, it is not noted for a particularly distinctive cuisine or anything. But worth looking into.

How about Seattle or Vancouver, major cities within driving distance to probably some of the nicest day hikes in western North America.

Interesting. I'll keep it in mind. I hadn't considered it, but I'll do some research.

I grew up in WA, so less interested in going there (as nice as it is).

Not close by but if you're interested in traveling to other countries then play with different destinations on google flights. During non-holiday seasons, you can get cheap tickets to lots of places. I recently just booked a trip to Sweden for ~$600. I live in south bay.

What about NYC?
