NaBonsai@alien.topBtoDigital Nomads•Vent: It gets quite frustrating traveling as a nonwhite american.English

1 year agoFeel this so much. It’s also very tiring how touristy areas are so catered to white westerners. I always assumed traveling internationally I would feel out of place in a different way, but it’s been strange to just still feel like it’s still just white American or English folk everywhere and some times being kind of disrespectful of the cultural spaces we’re visiting 😫
Everyone has been really cool otherwise about my presence (mixed black woman traveling solo). And I don’t mind them asking where I’m from bc I am starkly grappling with being American atp.
Honestly, idk about my adhd being fixed lol but I have found a decrease in my anxiety, eating less (from less stress), and more enjoyment in my day to day. I’ve been able to establish better habits like I used to smoke cannabis multiple times a day, but now even in Bangkok I’m not really interested in smoking, and definitely don’t feel like I “need” to. I barely even drink.
I feel more well rested, more attune to my physiological and emotional needs too. I think all this contributes to my symptoms of ADHD
