I've lived in 8 different countries now and I still don't know where I would like to settle down. I thought I'd travel around and find my "perfect place" but turns out that a perfect place doesn't actually exist, everywhere fucking sucks for different reasons.Any Anons moved to a different country and didn't start regretting after 2-3 years?I wouldn't even mind nomading around for the rest of my life, but it's not the same once you're in your 30s. I feel like I need a more permanent base.

Feeling a lot the same way op.Been traveling for about 3 years non stop, sold my apartment and quit my job. Been to Colombia, Portugal, Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Nepal and Thailand.Never found the paradise, but there are some obvious seasons that make sense for some areas. Summer in Europe/nort europe, fall and spring in latin america or asia, winter in europe if you like snow. You can long term rent something really cheap in europe and in Thailand to use as a base. Long term small simple cabin in sweden for example is around 3k usd a year. A small condo in a beach town in thailand or vietnam is a similar price. Makes it possible to enjoy two sides of the world depending on season.
>>2749237Why do people keep repeating the worn-out meme about 30s being too old to travel? As I get older I get more inner peace & contentment from wandering the hospitable regions of the earth, relaxing in guesthouses along the way, eating whatever I encounter, and living with a minimum of external pressure. I've outgrown the fantasy of finding le perfect place where everyone welcomes me and tries their best to make me feel like I belong. Even if they do so initially, the warm feelings quickly fade away as people realize how cold and self-satisfied my personality is. Time passes and soon enough I'm ready to head down the road to the next town. There's no space in my mind for regrets, and unless I've been treated badly, I harbor no ill will toward any people or places I've been. Staying positive in the face of minor problems & inadequacies is vital if you ever wish to be content with the life you have.
>>2749255>Why do people keep repeating the worn-out meme about 30s being too old to travel?It makes for a good bait
>>2749255>Why do people keep repeating the worn-out meme about 30s being too old to travel?Nobody's saying that it's too old to travel. But the vibes are way off.
>>2749286Only real travelers understand why traveling while old is great. >>2749237Yeah the grass is always greener but I have found somewhere where im content with thingsTell us which place was the best so far
>>2749255Can I buy your DVD on spiritual practice oh venerable anon?
>>2749237>Turns out that a perfect place doesn't actually exist, everywhere fucking sucks for different reasonsYes, came to the same conclusion myself
>>2749305I am a 100% non-spiritual person. Seems like anons here are perpetually stuck in their childhood rebellious phase, i.e. being spoiled by getting shit for free, but nonetheless hating everything and thereby making themselves miserable, which of course leads to coping and seething and hating everything the more. Methinks it is because anons have never pushed themselves through a life challenge of their choice, day after day pushing out self-doubt and working a little bit closer to the goal. No, you do not get any reward when a monumental task is complete, so don't even expect there to be a cookie or a sticker waiting for you at the end. Instead, your reward is a feeling of self-assurance that sticks with you and begins to change the way you think about everything.>>2749286>the vibes are way offOnly if you're 35+ and trying to live out some rebellious hedonistic fantasy of a lost youth that you insist has been denied you. For those people, travel is merely incidental, a tiresome and expensive ordeal that must be endured in order to unlock the desired reward. They are not travelers and never will be travelers.
