mobility .. and have only travelled places in my country... But i was
wondering how many of you guys have been to different countries and
have you ever wanted to settle there...

I born in the USA, state of Montana, I now live in the Netherlands. Due to a tax thing on Wife support and an now retired.
I miss working though..
If you want to go to a different country you need to have a profession that is needed ( ;-) a chef is one you will need your papers in order and employment secured (you will need your work visa in hand)
But I love living here .. Times have radically since I became an ExPat.

Have travelled through Europe, India, South East Asia, Indonesia,
Australia and New Zealand.
Wanted to live in South East Asia but in passing through the Pacific
Islands met my wife in Fiji and stayed.
I even relinquished the remaining portion of my Round the world
ticket.
See what love can do for you.

I always backpack and go to non tourist areas. This way I enjoy
meeting regular people with no hidden agendas. Likewise I am forced to
get a smattering of the language which helps to get a feel for their
culture.
malcymo
travel. This is very common.

not find the north american continent to be an exotic location for
him. I certainly did not mean to demean.

North America actually is extremely exotic land wise with essentially two oops three languages ..
Essentially. There is only one culture. As it has been said the grass is always greener on the other side of the jungle. Sorry I mean fence.

quite critical of the certain things in the USA. I envy your backpack
style- I grew up in the last era of steamer trunks and porters- ah,
well, all things change. Anyway, finding the exotic is a "frame of
mind", for instance Georgia O'Keefe did not travel abroad until she
was in her mid-60's. I have travelled a bit but guess I have brought
the world to me via books, art, music, etc. and arm-chair travel via
Globetrekker or other travel shows which I enjoy but rarely envy...I
think I envy other eras and I am glued to my own. My ultimate excuse
is motherhood having had children at 20, 28, 37 and 40 without
responsible husbands/fathers and that has been quite the adventure and
still is.

Nothing wrong with books, but they are not quite the same,, pictures are very good but there is something about reality if the original.

civilised. Read an enjoyable little travel book called 'A slow boat to
China' which gave me some idea of how things were when you could
travel the world by boat as a passenger on cargo ships, ocean liners
and ferries. My father took a cargo ship from Hong Kong to Durban in
the seventies. Such travel is only possible now by crewing on private
yachts, I think. We are all in such a hurry.
Allan H
Ah. Slow down you move to fast. Got to make the morning last. I loved sailing .. yes it was very much a slow boat to no where. Memories well worth the time spent

Vam

Yeah I remember seeing this life oil painting of a lady her face and lips were perfect. Closer inspection revealed that her upper lip was a blob of paint. Amazing and painting in real are two different realities.
If one can not travel books and pictures are the next best thing

portrait at the moment and am stuck with the background and whether to
do her nude or dressed.//"Make-up" = paint, doesn't it? I hate painted
fingernails because they hide all the germs beneath plus I keep nails
short to feel the piano keys, etc. Two vivid memories of my mother are
her laborious painting of hot red nails and the rubber smell of her
girdle versus the nuns! lol Hands are such fantastic tools.//Just
"discovered" Gerhard Richter- am temporarily bewitched! :-)

You must have a wonderful wife using female ..... never mind I want to stay out of trouble with my personal boss.
I see the power of small commune type groups is financial. Small communes actually have the ability to buy small apartment complexes just based. On their earning power alone but that takes wise use of funds from wages. Everyone would have to sacrafice personal freedom.
Didn't a song once say "Freedom is another word for nothing left to lose."
