Which S-A country would be the best to live when you have arthritis?

Hello,

I'm a 24 year old male living in Canada (Alberta). Due to the extreme cold weather in Canada and an illness (reactive arthritis), I want to move to a warmer country, preferably below the equator with steady weather. I'm very interested in South America because of the cultural diversity and beautiful scenery. I'm just not sure which country would be the best match, considering the climate has to be warm and dry. One advantage is that I'm single, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to moving to another country. I might even find a pretty Latina to marry:) Hopefully somebody can give me some advice or a recommendation about a country. Personally, I`m thinking maybe Peru or Chile. Let me know what you think!

I'm also Canadian, and I've been living in Colombia for the last two years. It's mostly a humid country,  so probably not for you. I also lived in Argentina, which has a variety of climates, verging on bone dry in some of the northwestern provinces. You could relocate to Cordoba or  Catamarca, or even Mendoza, though the latter does have its cold season, though nothing even remotely like Alberta's. Be forewarned, however, that Argentina has a new tax aimed at Canadians -- they'll ding you for 70 USD every time you enter the country. I wrote about that tax in my blog if you want more info on it: here. Good luck!
