New York isn't as fun as people seem to think it is. Basic food is very expensive and you're bound to get food poisoning (I always do). People are either very rich or very poor and they all have poor social skills and are rude. There's dog and human shit everywhere. I hate it honestly

I'd rather be poor in new york than poor in porto alegre. But that's just me.

Dogfight you must realize that's nothing but a stereotypical thing all white men eventually do? And also that being "homeless" by choice isn't like being homeless at all. Idk. Good luck I guess. Travel can be fun, but please be respectful. Don't Swaffle anything.

I typed a whole long thing about my year of travel but ultimately it doesn't matter and you might as well experience it for yourself. You are going to have a crazy time and really test yourself in some ways. Take it all in, breathe in every breath as deep as you can. If you are able to take this opportunity, there is no reason not to because getting to spend significant time in other places in the world is something afforded to very few. Sometimes it will be ecstatic, sometimes it will feel like getting your heart broken. Embrace it all, bro. It's worth it

Privilege and wealth of course are what allow you to travel. But it's also a matter of priority. I can't tell you how many times I have told someone I traveled for a long time and the response is like, "oh man I wish could afford to do that," but it's almost always coming from people with more money than I do, who are trying to start careers or build families or whatever. It seems a lot more doable when you don't give a shit about stuff like that and have NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE!

I mean, I suppose I could afford it if I made all my own lunches so I never purchased snacks, and stopped buying things I like, like clothing, guitar pedals, comics, and mechanical puzzles... but I like all those things.
I guess I'm just whining about how life requires making choices and you can't get everything you want all the time. Maybe I just need to learn discipline and should make travel a priority. |

For whatever reason I tend to feel defensive and roll my eyes at travelers/those that romanticize traveling. I hate people here so why would I want to see them elsewhere? What's wrong with participating in society locally and saving to buy a house or something

Kids don't have to keep on top of shit, so it seems that would be the time to travel. But ironically, that's the time when nobody has the money to travel. Kinda ties into my biggest fear, which is that I'll die without ever having done anything fulfilling or having any accomplishments to be proud of. Not necessarily things like traveling, but just things I want to create. I feel like time is passing me by and I never get to do the things I want to do because I have to tend to other things first, and when I have free time, I waste it all because I have no motivation or energy. I keep on projecting that I'll get to this or that sometime in the future, but that future is always six months ahead of me. I'll spend my entire life thinking "maybe tomorrow... maybe tomorrow..." and then I'll die having done nothing but shit that has no intrinsic value to me and was only instrumental to goals I never got to anyway. Since depression has biological causes and environmental factors, I kind of suspect that one of those environmental factors is being maladapted to capitalism. Some people are okay doing shit they don't care about so long as they have evenings and weekends off and a month of vacation time, but some of us really aren't compatible with not being able to own our labour to direct it at what truly fulfills us. When you work to live, work becomes life, it seems. |

That's like one of those things that really burns my toast btw. I even heard it from Mike's brother about his wife and her family and culture. How they eat "weird" things

There's nothing wrong with staying local and building a life. There's also nothing wrong with exploring because you haven't found your place yet.
If I was getting married and having kids of course I wouldn't be doing this. But why not? |
