The U.S. is inferior in a lot of ways to some of the places I’ve been. It’s expensive here, the architecture and aesthetics are straight up ugly, major cities feel less safe and dirtier, and the general culture in the U.S. sucks. Plus I’m not a big fan of having all my comms spied on and stored by the NSA and being subjected to whatever other insane crimes the CIA is perpetrating. The reserve currency money printer in the hands of these psychos just makes me uneasy. My gut says move on.

I felt more welcome and at home in Argentina and in Scotland than I do where I was born. The people were substantially nicer and more interesting in both of those countries. The old buildings were so nice too, I’m a sucker for that.

In Argentina they prioritize social life and family life over money, career and material goods. I literally made friends everywhere I went. People just want to hangout and talk, walk, drink wine, dance, adventure and enjoy their time. It was so great.

I’m really looking forward to traveling more and for longer but I know I could happily live in Argentina. And for half of what it costs in the U.S.
