Yes, there are other options however it’s a balance of how hard it is vs what country is most convenient vs how many visas get granted.

I went from South America to Australia. The time zone and air travel distance sucks big time and matter when getting in touch with family. South American presence here is minimal so restaurants and culture are hard to find. But I’m not afraid my son will get killed while getting mugged. And that tips the balance even a bit more than my ability to have stable finances.
