Anyone else get burnt out / depressed over being perpetually unsettled? Granted, yes, I know this lifestyle is a choice; I’ve been trying to build home bases but I’m having a hard time finding places to settle between visa + housing logistics and finding the right communities.
I lived full-time in Bali for 3 years (cliche I know) but things there have really changed since the borders opened after covid. I’ve been hopping around since last year trying out new places to settle down and I’m just feeling down about it all… But I also don’t want to move back to my home country either. I don’t feel like I fit in there anymore at all but then again I also don’t fit in the traditional life of any other country that I’m not from hahaaha AHH
Anyone feel me? I don’t really know where to go anymore and it really has me in a funk. I realize this is a massive first world problem and yes I am so very grateful for my freedom, plz be kind
You should pick a place that has more to offer . Surroundings matter a lot. I personally like the UAE, lots of opportunities, it’s not expensive relative to nyc, London or Tokyo. You can get a nice place in Abu Dhabi at relatively low rent. It also has all the modern convinces. I would go insane in Bali. I’ve worked in London, Tokyo, Chicago, NYC, LA , SF, Montreal, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Right now I prefer Abu Dhabi. Friends I work with who have come from Paris, London and Sweden all say they are not the same as they used to be on the quality of life scale, citing crime at the top of the list. I worked in nyc for a long time and just got tired of the poor services given the high tax rate and being scolded because I wasn’t into watching people walk out of stores with bag loads of stolen stuff, etc.
