Definitely doable, where you are originally from plays a significant role, but many countries will give you a generous visa on entry just for having an American stamp in your passport.

I currently live in Malaysia, they give a 90 day visa on entry and are pretty lenient on reentry as long as you respect the terms of your visa. It's an English speaking country that is developing very quickly but still has a low cost of living. It is at least worth a visit.

The more important question is how you plan on supporting yourself in your new home.

Can confirm, he can get a stay and work permit in the Netherlands rather easily as there's a business treaty between the 2 countries (he will need to be registered as some kind of freelancer though, but that's still pretty sweet). But he probably won't even need it, experience from the U.S is valued, he will likely find an employer to sponsor him.

My understanding is that he can't work on that Visa and he'll be doing visa-runs through some border. Potentially being rejected entry at one point.
