I had that same question a few years ago and made a site to answer it (for myself and others) called https://nomadlist.com . Personally, I like cities with lots of nature in or around it, with low people density (not crowded), with a creative culture (like art, but also startups), in mild climates (like 20'C - 30'C, 68'F - 86'F), where it's not humid (so between 30% and 65% humidity).
London. I like big, dense, multicultural cities with lots to do at any moment of time, lots of different people and high-quality food from as many cultures as possible readily available. On that measure I think the only city that compares (and is probably better) is New York, but I have a citizenship and lots of family + friends in the UK so it's a much more convenient place to be.

Could you share more? Is it a safe city? Can you walk in random directions without fear? How difficult is to get visa? Do they speak English? What kind of expenses are you looking at monthly? As someone with fully remote job, I am wondering whether I should go couple of months there. I am on the verge about it.

Why Bogota over Medellin?
I am not GP but I found Medellin had a really dangerous vibe and a hideous city center. Bogota felt much safer for me and the center is really beautiful with lots to see and do. I know that Medellin is said to be popular with nomads but I honestly have no idea why.
