I imagine that if it is a place that is recognizable to the average American, the cost of living will be too high. I know of someone in Moldova for whom $400/mo was quite nice. I have also heard that living in parts of Costa Rica can be very low rent ($400 can last you a year if you are careful). You would have to deal with Internet access, but 3G wireless is becoming pervasive. The real factor is the quality of life that you are interested in.
