Place for a writer/artist to live?

This is a hypothetical question for now but I would like to write full time and produce some art.
Where in the world (sic) could I settle to do that?
I am looking for a pleasant climate, a touch of wilderness, an interesting international community and a good exchange rate on my Canadian money...oh and a safe envirnment.
