I don’t get asked this. But I also don’t brag about traveling all the time. So maybe just cut down on the bragging. Usually I just say I’m a nomad and what my job is and that’s about the end of discussion.

And if I weren’t a nomad people would probably ask me what my job is so it feels the same

The US is very good at building and maintaining structures, so they usually last hundreds of years and only need periodic major updates.

Other countries have buildings that they don’t maintain and are falling apart in 30 years. Not many of their buildings are over 100 years old and stuff like tile and such needs replaced sooner due to lack of building standards
