I want to store (City, Country) pairs in my models as a field. I want to do something like this (the location field).

Is GeoDjango an overkill for my use case? If yes, what do you suggest me to use?

I've read your question in multiple places I think!

I would seriously consider just using:
https://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.io/en/master/

You would need to have in your Django app the cities and countries,
tweak the query from django-autocomplete-light, etc.
