How long do you see yourself living abroad? Do you ultimately want to live in one place or just travel around for the rest of your life?
Good question. It's a question I struggle with every day. I just don't know. I've been a nomad for awhile, it's sort of what I know now. I live in one place for too long and I get real antsy. I'm 31, time flys, the longer I do this, the more that window for a family closes, and the more it actually doesn't bother me. I see other nomads, expats and travelers, and most are content, we're hardened and a bit hollow, but content. It's sort of a lifestyle, not many people can do it. It's hard, a lot of relationships are face value and temporary (thank god for fb tho), you can't really get too close to people. you say good bye to people you've hung out with every day for months consistently. that cameroonian neighbor I mentioned earlier just left to Miami yesterday, that was my patna, he used to come over and chill every day, even if it was just to have a smoke break for 15 min and chop it up. He came over at 7am to give me the ol

before heading to the airport. He says he'll be back later in the year but who knows. A year long friendship gone. and you know what's crazy? I don't feel much about it, it's sort of a regular thing too me. I say good bye friends, good people I've had LOADS of fun and memories with ALL the time. never to see them again. left as nothing more than a memory.
I think I want to live in brazil later in life. It's my favorite country/region and I can see myself being like 45, having a young wife and just chilling close to a beach or maybe going back to the U.S but living in a smaller town like portland or phx. Again man, it's something I struggle with all the time. Sometimes I think I will move to africa, sometimes india, sometimes chile, sometimes poland. I get ideas all the time. Just 13 months ago I was in vancouver, sipping wine like "you know what, 2 months from now I'm moving to China" I'm too sporadic to know. This life is like an episode, you get a sneak preview (thought), but then once the show starts you really don't know the exact out come. You just roll with it.
