In all sincerity, how do you get out and find work and should you? I’m 40F and have barely left this country. I don’t know how to make a better life for me and my children and I’m not even sure that this isn’t still the ‘safest place’ as the saying has always been. Are all governments corrupt? Are they all at risk of war? Are rich people and corporations given legal passes and tax breaks everywhere? Is there gang violence, racism and sexism everywhere? I want to live without fear that my kids could be killed by some idiot with guns, I want our family to live a life free from servitude just to to pay for car+home+health insurance and not worry we could die simply because we couldn’t afford to pay the highest price for medical care in the world, and I want to know the government or a corporation won’t be allowed to harm people and places with toxic chemicals or skipping safety measures. I want to be more than fuel for capitalism. This is a serious question. I’ve intentionally left my home country out but I’m sure you have guessed.

    Until you do the work inside to be content then moving will be pointless. Because then you will just be anxious/depressed/angry in Thailand or Mexico or wherever. Not that being depressed on a beach in Thailand or Mexico isn’t infinitely more appealing than being a depressed piece of shit at home, but you get the spirit of what I’m saying here hopefully.

    But if the reason you are traveling is to run from something, you’re doing it wrong. Try blooming where you are planted. Or accepting that the world is a shitty, fucked up place and no geographical location in this galaxy is going to save you from rich assholes, dickhead cops or corrupt governments and politicians.

    Ultimately, you are the only one that knows what is best for you. But as some who has been to over 15 countries on 4 continents the answer to every single one of your questions is yes.
