Gather information through brainstorming yourself, ask people who are close to you for opinion, internet, library and also if you have the time, to to the selected places to see how do that place looks like as in term of environment, people, food, and etc.
3)Consider the cost of living

Especially if you are plan to rely on your retirement benefits to meet the cost of living after you retire.
