If you have the money to get out of the USA, why haven't you?

Of course not.

What country do you live in?

Australia. I've also contemplated leaving, traveled around ect... I love SE Asia too, but the universe always brings me back here and I have learned there is more work to be done here and learn to make peace with being where I am, and that the country is vast so you are not confined to the city or spaces where all the chaos and negativity and fear is high and focused on. There are many other places out there where people are more conscious and community based and less fear-based or focus on the politics or 3D matrix per se.

Some places live completely different and have a completely different energy than the next town or city because their focus, foundations, ways living and co-existing is vastly different than the more populated cities and areas full of stress and fear.

 What you focus on grows and perpetuates, one step at time, unsubscribe from the distractions, Tv, media, politics ect... and focus and attend to your intimidate surroundings and life. If people always bring stuff up, cut them out if you must.

If its not serving your peace and health, delete it, unsubscribe, focus on your own life and what you could do to be of service and create a more rich, quality and fulfilling life.

Doesn't matter if USA invades or threatens to invade your country. I live in Norway, next to Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland. Greenland is situated in a similar territory to Svalbard, which is owned by Norway.

Bloomberg? Ahahaha. Sorry man that's not who I'm trusting on this topic.

Are you afraid you're going to "drown"? If the sea levels rise too much you can just leave.

Wait did a presumably not aboriginal Australian say only staying your home country is valid lmao

No such thing as a true native. There are only survivors. 

Land passing through different cultures isn't uncommon historically.

Regardless I don't think the sentiment - "everyone should stay exactly in the country they're in" is good

The aboriginals imperialized the kangaroos.

Unless you are part of the 1% benefitting from Trump's policies, if you actually have the money to relocate and you aren't doing it, you are absolutely insane imo.

Good point. I love loved living in a high rise as a kid. I lived in LA somewhere called the Wilshire Corridor. Then we moved out and I lived right next to Beverly Hills High School. Then after the divorce of my parents I lived in Bel Air. I HATED it because it was truly boring. Nowhere to go without a car. I felt like a prisoner in a gilded cage. Fast Forward to Today. 

I saw these videos on Thailand where you can get a fancy high rise for 1/10th or 1/15th even of those rip offs in the US. So I came here December 5th. So far so good I love it here. I was in a hotel with an awesome view. Lived in a condo for a while but, not the "cool ones" I saw before just the 6th floor when I would really like a 36th floor. So many things this country doese is so much more efficient than the US and really nice. Today I fly back to the US at night because Thailand only lets you stay maximum 60 days without a visa. I've made so many friends in Thailand who are property people and have great deals. Now I see the US as the past and South East Asia as the future. The US is only a place now that I make plans for the future in another country. I hate the US not because of politics but, because it's boring as hell and not innovative for shit. Before anyone says why not move to another city or state etc. Ya that's because I don't want to get ripped off. Almost every state is a rip off espcially the boring ones in the middle of the country that are cheaper than LA SF NY Seattle Miami etc. You get a whole bunch of nothing for a big price. Here though I get amazing things and see amazing people for small prices. That's a way better deal and I'm so happy I took this chance and did this test run.

Can't you just cross country borders and come back? I think that used to be the case

Yes but, to be completely honest I'm over simpflying my situation and embellishing a bit. I can also get a stamp for another 30 days but, this visis is a test run. I want to go back home collect my PS5 and bring it to Thailand. Mull over my options for a condo and not do it willynilly. I have been to Vietnam as well but, and came back so I got another 60 days that I still haven't exhausted. I also have my car lease that expires in March and I need to give that back. So I got back to tie some loose ends and come back here later. Also if you do too my "border runs" they find it suspicious and crack down on it.

@Revolutionary Think Gotcha. I currently researching the possibility of getting a Thai digital nomad visa which is a 5-year visa. That would open some doors should I choose to stay in SE Asia longer.

Cool what parts have you visited so far, for how long, and what part did you like the most?
