To go along with "work anywhere" is "live anywhere." If you can live anywhere, then you will pick a place where you actually want to live. Croatia or Kazakhstan might be nice for a visit, but I doubt you would want to live in either of these places unless you had substantial roots there (you were born and raised there.)
Given there are so many independently wealthy people living in San Francisco, it must have its charm.
