I've lived abroad for 25 years now. 15 different countries. I never once wanted to go back. I never will. Anons out there, how many countries and how long? Why won't you ever go back? >picunrel
And no one gives a single fuck. Go wherever the fuck you want, or don't. kill yourself.
>>2903356You definitely gave a fuck enough to reply with this much anger though
>>2903329Go fuck yourself. I’ll never get to live my dream of living in Thailand, getting fluent, and getting pussy regularly. Fuck you
>>2903356>And no one gives a single fuck. Go wherever the fuck you want, or don't. kill yourself.
>>2903396I don't give a shit about OP, but I always have a good laugh when you have another outburst about not being able to live in Thailand.>went to college but didn't get a relevant job>blew through inheritance>worked as a TSA agent despite hating black peopleWay to disappoint your mother in hell.
>>2903329Serious question, not being a cunt here. Do you really like it ? I feel like each time I am traveling, it's kind of the same. You meet new people and have the same conversation all over and over again. And before you call me a little cunt, I was traveling 2/3 month a year when I was like 20, getting drunk and having fun meeting new people but now I can't drink anymore so everything seems boring.I do travel a little bit, but I am more into doing nature stuff and just do nothing on a good scenary place.My life kind of suck right now so I am thinking about starting over with a master of 1/2 years in china in I don't know what. Got like 40k euros in saving to do it.But I am afraid it will be the same than today.At least I would be motivated to learn Chinese.
>>2903329Why would you go back? The earth is round. If you keep going forward, eventually you end up back in the USA. It's just another country to explore and experience. Hating on a country just because you were born there is peak travel autist retardation.
>>2904264Living abroad is different to travelling really. When I travelled recently to Thailand I got speaking to a guy - I guess I presumed we had something in common because we're both out in Thailand so we have some shared experiences/interests. Guy talked my ear off about how he loves being a manager of Dominos in the UK. It was the kind of zeal you save for an interview. I realized he's just a normal conformist dork on holiday. I tend to try and get away from the crowd where I meet real ones travelling. Papau, Myanmar, islands in Indonesia that take several days to get to. I meet people more like me.In terms of being an expat, it's because more freedom, more spending power, more White privilege 2bh. I enjoy the mental stimulation of understanding a new place, experiencing a new culture and feeling on the edge of something ig. I'm from the UK - it's become a global meme how bad it is there so I don't think I need to explain my motivation. But most people don't like living permanently unsettled. You have to have the mind for it.
>>2904341>Hating on a country just because you were born there is peak travel autist retardation.That assumes there is no hierarchy of shittiness. Would you say the same to someone from Bangladesh or is that where your argument falls apart. Some countries are objectively and quantifiably shitholes. And even the amazing ones are just not for certain personality types. The Swiss live under self imposed petty authoritarianism, governing every aspect of their daily lives. I'd understand if certain personality types find that anathema and want to live somewhere like Phnom Penh
>been traveling for the past 10 years(covid just did USA no changs or tour buses were GOAT)>had blast bucket list basically done, gave up on Antarctica not big deal to not see anymore after northern Scandinavia>saved up a healthy amount of cash to spend ~150k+good retirement could have saved more but the last 2.5-3 years kinda spent more on me things>could just work in PH for a good bit but that requires me to put up with PH shit>want nothing more than going back to the USA with how fucked things are and chill in a rural place or something working my remote job till AI fucks it or something and forced to be a cashier or some bs shit just to keep myself out of the houseCan't recall the amount of countries I've been through a lot of it blurs together at this point and going back to some place like Korea, Taiwan, Malay, Finland, etc just seem like a bore/chore. Maybe the boomer is hitting in at 34, but to me just not worth keeping up jumping around. Maybe I'll change my tune once back in the USA for a year living in some prefurnished apartment and get tired of some of the USA things, but I doubt it.
>>2904264>I feel like each time I am traveling, it's kind of the sameNot OP but, I really don't travel unless I have a reason to go somewhere, so no. The only time I get that way is if I am in between visa stays and I decide to stay in some boring ass place like Malaysia, PH, or Indonesia. First time was cool, second time I nailed out how to get around properly, third time was a blast, then every other time just going through the motions and caring less and less. One of the reasons I want to be in the USA again is just either reset myself to care about being abroad again or realize I just wanna stop due to age. Personally right now I don't know which it is. There is nothing worse than being in say a beach town for 80 some odd days, then looking back at what you did, only to realize you spent a ton of time dicking around some apartment, going to a gym, and maybe a few things here and there. At some point I just look back to friends in the USA I have and it seems to have more appeal at this stage of life.Maybe if I was a cryptomillionare like so many people supposedly are on this board and could buy myself into the country if needed, I'd have a far different outlook but I ain't.
>>2904264>>2904341>>2904357>>2904358>>2904361One of the worst things about living in your home country is the uniformity of life. I've always been a bit odd - strange beliefs, attitude towards life, behavior. In my own country I am peculiar and weird - in Africa, Asia, Latin America etc, my foreignness camouflages my strangeness to the locals and the expats that can see it celebrate it. They are escaping conformity and when they see someone unabashedly different, they celebrate it. Because I give them more space to be eccentric between me and the baseline. That's why I'm weird in my home country and a 'character' in foreign lands. So you can enjoy living in your home country but watch your mouth talking about the holocaust, keep quiet about your beliefs on gender roles, don't mention your trip to Cambodia, make sure nobody finds out you smash a ladyboy every now and then. And I'll just do whatever tf I want out here. If you already have a completely ordinary, orthodox life and mind, then you're good anyway.
>>2904368I've always been a bit off the wall in how I act, work, communicate and so on but I do enjoy a bit of the structure. I think a lot depends on where you call home.If you're eccentric/quirky being that way in say, North Dakota is probably a social death sentence. Same stuff in say DFW, eh probably will find a semi large crowd to mix in with. Context here matters because the way you talk is a very very introverted state or you're so far gone from what USA is that you're just pol-brained and not aware what US is.>So you can enjoy living in your home country but watch your mouth talking about the holocaust, keep quiet about your beliefs on gender rolesMost the people I would hang out same with bars I will frequent back home have similar stances on these things. This is not a very hot take anymore and you'll have a hard time finding these wierdos who bring it up unless you go to some LGBT bar.>If you already have a completely ordinary, orthodox life and mind, then you're good anyway.I mean if you're actually fucking dudes from time to time not sure what to tell you that's a bridge to far for anyone I know. Most people I know who know I've been to thailand check my FB and see the shrines, temples, and events I go to and never think anything of it.
I turned 30, realized what I really wanted to do with my life, realized there was a slew of things I had to do in my 20s first, realized I failed because I wasted them traveling instead, and realized I regret every moment. So no.
>>2903329oh, if my home country would offer me pleasant life i might very well consider that. since it won't, well, you gotta find your own way through existence.that being said, constant movement is exhausting and becomes an eternal ticklist. i want a base to return to for months on end and the rest of the world to travel when that gets boring again. I also quite quickly realised that i will become old at some point, with no more will to keep fighting for survival. Need to be ready when that happens.>>2904264yeah, well, if your idea of fun is going to bars then your problem is being a boring person. i like crazy and wild adventures and they never stop happening
>>2904421>crazy and wild adventuresSuch as?
>>2904430>Such as?>Getting wasted on yaba and fucking a ladyboy Going out with a gang of ladyboys in Phnom Penh doing meth>Sucking and fucking a ladyboy in Jakarta in a nightclub toilet doing coke off her dick
>>2904433Absolutely based. I kneel. You killed my skepticism and made me feel like a boring fag.
>>2904361Same with my fifth visit to Thailand. The enjoyment and sovlfulness were gone. People were very pleasant in Trat where I ended up, but it no longer felt in the least adventurous to be walking the aisles of a night market or the courtyard of a temple. It was just biding time until I could return to the USA.>>2904368Maybe that's the case in a buttoned-up country like the UK, but here in the USA there are many opportunities to live an unconventional lifestyle. You can choose to engage positively with other people regardless of how "normie" their life is, or you can choose to despise them for their normalcy. There are plenty of people in Asian countries who disapprove of foreign young men living as idle degenerates instead of marrying up and settling into a career, but evidently their opinion doesn't matter because they are brown or something like that.
>>2904392I turned 30 and realized that the one thing I wanted to do in life was drift freely across the surface of the earth. It's kept me younger-looking and more optimistic than the average 30 year old. >>2904421Wagecucking is 5x more exhausting than the travel life. Stop going so far on each trip if you're always feeling beat.
>>2903542Damn you curbstomped with this comment lmao
>>2904430such as finding a one of a kind cafe that only serves one coffee, becase it simply is the best coffee in the fucking world. the people who visit it are special too. I met a 9dan karate black belt and a japanese hippie woman who used to hitchhike around japan in the 80'si did illegal car races in iran, i smoke absurd amount of weed with cock (rooster) trainers in thailand, i got surrounded by a single elephant, jesus bought me two opals in australia... etc.if all you do is go to a bar with whiteys, then you never left the west. maybe you find it fun, but it's undeniably unimaginative way to spent your time>>2904433i prefer poppies in central asia, but that sounds quite fun>>2904451i've only been beat once, but that's plenty enough. I am aware that my vital energy is finite and it won't suffice when i'm actually old
>>2904593>i got surrounded by a single elephantHow do you get surrounded by a single elephant? Are you underneath it with its dick rubbing on your tummy?>Wild adventures >Go to a coffeeshop OMG Emily! You are so crazy OMFG GIRL!
