I myself love to travel and seeing different places and cultures. However, a guy I work with, who certainly has the financial means, refuses to go anywhere other than here in the US.

He says the only things he cares about seeing are here and has no interest in learning anything about different people or cultures. His reasoning is none of that applies to his life and if it is worth seeing or doing, it is in the US.

Does anyone here feel this way?


You work with Karl Pilkington?

I don't have zero interest in it but it seems like I have significantly less than most people

Do you have your own YT or IG channel? I’ve seen a ton of Gen Xpats living in SE Asia




Nah.. I have precisely zero interest in being an "influencer", or even in trying to convince anyone that my way is the 'best' way... im just a guy with probably more years behind me than in front of me, and as such im not interested in staying in a place where the cost of merely existing is as psychotic as it is in America .

I agree with the bulk of your post, but I dont get the 'checking the boxes' part... Not directed at you, but just in general- Who are you 'checking the boxes' for'? Who are you trying to impress ? Who is keeping score ?? You can just skip most of that shite .

I believe you but that does not deter me. I have abandoned all dignity and allegiance and wish to be on a beach with transactional relationships. 

Come to Croatia. The beaches are on another level. We have a little favorite that can only be accessed by boat.

went there once and wanted to leave very quickly

Split is probably the worst of the Croatian coastal cities. Very hard to get around and almost as chaotic to drive in as Bosnia. Still, if you spent your time wanting to leave, you sold yourself short. The entire Dalmatian coast is awesome.

Funny you say that. I was just in Munich 2 weeks ago. I saw very few Stanis. Saw more Chinese this time as compared to last time, but they were probably tourists.

People here seem to talk shite, but do not realize that the overwhelming percentage of immigrants in places like Munich, are whites from other places in Europe.
