Anons born in the USA who get to travel perpetually or live abroad, how did you do it? Was it worth it? The wage cage is draining my soul

I assume most Americans living abroad, such as myself, are just wagies with overseas employment. I've been living in the Middle East for two years now. I started off working as administrative staff for a university (I don't think this is common but I also don't bother to browse job listings for universities because they're bottom of the barrel opportunities). Fortunately, it only required a high school diploma (although I have some college). The pay was only about 35k USD, which is pretty mediocre even there. Housing was free. But it was legitamtely the worst working environment I've ever been in. It had an incredibly toxic culture and the owner fucked around with our visas, vacation, and pay - among other stupid day-to-day shit. Now I'm working as a government contractor, which is much better. The hours are long (I work 72 hours a week), but the pay is good, I make about 120k a year, and get a month off every year. I recommend it as a relatively easy way to get employed overseas. There's a lot of different roles to fill (I'm most familiar with security work - not mercenary shit, more like being a mall cop) and standards are minimal, provided you're able to maintain a security clearance. I eventually hope to get a 9-5 in regular industry (ideally in Asia but more than likely Dubai).

I've worked with a retired Army guy that makes like 100k from all his military retirement and medical disability. Not exactly worth 20ish years of your life and combat deployments but having that "passive" income is insane.

Literally, married fag here.

I have the time and resources to travel on my own this year (wife is busy visiting her mother in Korea) and am thinking of not travelling. Like, what's the point?

If I was single I'd 100% get Tinder and go to Mumbai for a week or two just to download Tinder, fuck and see some exotic shit.

But take the fuck out of it and the whole thing becomes less compelling.

Go to Huntington instead. Charleston is prettier but Huntington has Bahnhof and you can do gay Jewish stuff at Stonewall after you’ve had some good beers.
Also, definitely go to Red River Gorge in KY if you can.

What are your honest thoughts on Australian cities?

>>2680122
Are there white people in major Australian cities? Or do they hide in the suburb?
>>
Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne all pretty much the same on harbour or river. Mix of nineteenth century buildings and skyscrapers. Adelaide doesn't have the high-rise. Darwin and Hobart very localised atmosphere. Canberra still feels like a designed city, and is less busy than the bigger cities with their sprawl.
I've lived in Sydney Adelaide Canberra and made work trips to the rest (lots of trips to Melbourne Brisbane).
Tbh they all pretty much the same. Sydney of course has the most beautiful harbour in the world.
>>
>>2680668
I don't know how to really describe it except to say that yes there are white people in the cities and the suburbs. Even though the bigger cities have a "Chinatown" it's like in NYC just a section downtown with restaurants etc. for example in Sydney a lot of Chinese people live in Chatswood which is a fairly well off shopping and transport hub on Sydney north shore.
Being Greek Lebanese Italian background is so normal it isn't even noticeable.
Many of the best rugby players are Aboriginal Australian and pacific islanders (Tonga etc). My point is that the Pacific culture is also prevalent and normal here.
>>
>>2680664
agreed i got the fuck out of sydney in the late 2010's moved out far west. Commute once a week to the CBD, the only shit skins i see are tourists.

based local gov gave the middle figure to high rise housing so i get to live in a leafy green suburb with no fucking third worlders. All my neighbors are white or hippy and so far away i have peace and quiet.

The few inner city blows in that can afford to buy, get the shits with the lack of "culture" and fuck off or adapt and end up hating the poojets and gooks.

I lived through a long hiatus and now am back healthy and doing my boating and GMDSS license. After I finish I wanna go on a long as holiday and do some hands on boating.

Here is the thing though, where do I find friends/a group of people to go on an adventure with me. I left my old friends behind because of my hiatus and they aren't into sea adventures. Join a local club?

What else can I do? If I go to a hostel, are the people there usually smart and enthusiastic or are they normies wanting to get drunk?

You can buy ads on google. You target the the demographics you're looking for and write a textual ad along these lines : "Looking For New Friends Into Sailing After a Hiatus. Call Me If You Want To Meet Me". And you add your phone number. Then you target searches such as "How to make friends that are into sailing", or "where do I meet people to sail with".
>>
>>2677032
Best place is the sailing schools/clubs you go to for learning. The one I go to has afternoon sails for members. I'm usually the youngest there among retirees or folks close to that age looking for a new hobby. You would want to ask the skipper/instructors about finding folks in your area.

I don't hear about many people doing long trips in my area, unless it's for some sort of delivery or several experts getting away for the week. Enter races and you can network from there. If you do good the you can build a reputation and people will probably invite you to join them and their rich friend on his yacht in Sausalito.

Seriously as anon says if you're not used to the sun you'll get sunburn so buy some sunscreen ( you can do it when you get here -- can be bought anywhere but if you ask in a pharmacy / "chemist" (drugstore) they'll help you choose.
Sunglasses. Cap or hat. The weather's generally pretty mild heading out of winter into spring. A denim jacket, zip up wind jacket or similar is useful. Just dress as you would in California

>>2676759

One pair of pants, no undies and 2 shirts. Socks are over rated wear thongs only.

Take one puffer jacket you'll fit right in, buy a hat from bunnings to wear everywhere.

I fell for the Brasov meme. The city is very dull and small. Outside of the Old Town, it's quite ugly. Airbnb was a dump. Host was an absolute psychopath. Bucharest probably takes first place for my least favorite major city in Europe. It's a dirty shithole. There are gypsies, but there are also Romanians. I can't explain why, but something about Romanians just seems 'off' to me. They are weird. I was there for two months and couldn't wait to gtfo

>what's a fun trip to romania?
Last I was there was in Constanta. There is a spot there where its just bars, hotels, nightclubs on the beach, overlooking the Black Sea. There's something for everyone, the cheapie chill vibes bars on the sand and then there's also the high-end nightclubs/gambling dens where you can see the local gangsters drive up with their gold-wrapped AMG. You can go to Bucharest and wander around the nightlife and question the legality of many things because it seems so free. People there are so happy to be able to party and enjoy life- but you can also see their struggle. You'll see gypsies with smartphones riding on a wood cart being pulled by a small horse in front of some executive Mercedes on the street. It's a playground of hustlers and the wealthy. To me, it feels like your stereotypical villain hometown where evil happens all around you- you just don't see or experience it unless you go out of your way to. Many of my buddies sought after the easy brothels and prostitution nearby as Romanian women are very beautiful.

Solo is travel is nice, and there's zero debate what to see and when to see it. Go to the best restaurants, or hotel restaurants, and dine at the bar w/the business travelers. Enjoy your museums. I'd highly3 suggest walking tours, organized pub and food tours to add interesting people to activities.

>>Northwest
It is doable,if you rent a car, as is Vancouver nd the weather is nice. Seattle is a shithole of drug user/homeless liberal types in a shocking way to visitors, as is Portland.

>Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier, etc.
need 9-12mo of planning. Nat'l Parks are full of people with advanced reservations since covid and massive amounts of ppl in the hotels, RVers, and such.
