I have $6000. I feel like relocating to a country where I can live in peace.

No internet, no nothing. Just a secluded little shelter that I will build with my own hands, catch my own food, and be left the fuck alone.

6000 won't take you much of anywhere on any kind of long-term or even medium-term basis. First you will need a plane ticket, plus other travel knicknacks and shit... when you get there, these places are not as cheap as you seem to think. Costa Rica is about 1/3 the cost of the US, so that might buy you, what...9 months of pretty simple living? Never mind if you get sick or lonely and start taking out a girl or even just drinking alone. Greenland is expensive because everything has to be flown or shipped there. IT's cold as fuck, too, you can't just "hang out" on the glacial surface.
Places like Southeast Asia are popular daydreamer's destinations but its no longer as cheap in those places as it once was. This is what a "falling dollar" means. Your dollar gets you less and less, you can't "live like a king" there for a few pennies and have the natives fall all over each other worshiping your cawk.
The place where your cash will go the fathest: Africa. Not nice, tourist, see-the-giraffes Africa with guides in uniforms. I'm talking miserable, funky Africa. Lagos, Kinshasa. The shittiest, most diseased and dysfunctional societies. You could give it a try. You are likely to lose all your money as well as your limbs to machette-weilding zulu fucking warriors high on Jenkim and crack. Not to mention all the grotesque swarms of aggressive insects and tropical diseases heavy like the stench of piss in the festering air.
I'm looking to get away from civilization. Once I am gone, I will no longer need money. I plan to take some dehydrated food (whatever feels like the right amount until I can get traps and fish nets set up) a plane ticket, a backpack with extra clothes, and I'll buy a machetti down there. After that, its just strap on my backpack and hike until i find somewhere isolated.
Have no interest in dating a girl. I just literally want to spend my time in the jungle/waters edge and get lost from the world.
What about the Yucatan? I imagine there are miles of property that no one has looked at.

Live on a river in the Cardomom Mountains, Koh Kong province, Cambodia. You'll need to fish and hunt in order to sustain yourself, but it would be possible there. Some of the most pristine wilderness on earth was rediscovered there around the year 2000, after being left alone and unexploited for decades because of the Khmer Rouge, civil wars, lack of infrastructure and land mines. Of course the loggers have already decimated almost half of it and it will be completely laid to waste in another decade.
I knew two white guys who set up an adventure rafting company upriver from the coast there back in 2000. The American went mad and butchered his business partner with a machete.
I'm young (in my thirties) and still in good shape. I just can't stand urban society any more. I think it would be better just to start my own little commune of one.

Republic of Hotchikistan border authority, please halt and present documents, sir.
\
Oh wow here at last! Is it really true that if, like, you are an American and you hang out for like a year in Hotchickistan and you haven't tagged 100 hot sluts yet, the embassy gives you the remainder of the fucks for free to keep up international reputiation n' shit?
\
Sir, do you have a passport?
\
Yeah, bro, I mean sis. I got one of those, came all prepared and shit.
\
I'm sorry sir, there is no visa stamp in your passport. You have no visa for entry. What is the purpose of your trip to Hotchickistan?
\
No Visa? Do you guys take Amex? I don't get it. Why did I come? Because I heard it really fucking easy to bone here. Plus, the drugs are cheap, and super-phat from what I hear. And my bro told me the natives love to dance for Americans, like in little circles of welcome with rituals and shit, and then offer up their daughter's asses. That would be kind. Plus, there's like, no fascists keepin' me down and preventin' me from downloading eighties flicks and shit. Word, I'm a free man now, bro!
\
Sir, to enter Hotchickistan you need a valid work visa, usually only issued by large international firms dealing in advanced munitions, adult entertainment, petrochemicals, and investment banking. Are you a senior-level Fortune 500 exec or above? Or do you have over $2MM USD to invest?
