i let myself get stuck in cities for no reason for way too much of my life
i am in a marginal area on an island right now, and my next residence will either be in northeast bosnia or altai or somewhere near there
not just stay out of the cities, stay out of the well known countries
it's worth learning another language, often people are fascinated if people don't generally migrate there, if it's hard country especially, the madeirans are very friendly, especially the northerners, i have tried to learn more portugese but honestly here, cabo verde, brazil, portugal, these are all bad places to be long term, i'm going to move once i'm convinced i have to get moving
it would be nice if you could defend your ground but most of your neighbours are assholes and will sell out to the enemy so fuck being stuck to a place
