living outside the country good buddy
i haven't myself, but i became friends with a chilean couple who traveled around the world according to berry season, Australia, Italy, Germany and so on picking berries, living in free housing while saving for a house back home.
they seemed pretty into the lifestyle, or at least willing to trade a few years for traveling and a house.
Three big ones are:
-
There are lots of international families, so they'll have company, support networks and infrastructure.
-
There are tons of safe, affordable countries with easy access to good education.
-
Native English speakers are all but guaranteed jobs as ESL teachers, so the parents will have access to available, steady income abroad.
A lot of people don't know about international schools, which is where most international families send their kids.
Other than the first two points, there are not many differences between my individual and family advice. For many families, moving from the US to a country like Thailand means safer, more affordable lives with a better quality of life.
at this point, visas are very easy to get in general, but Thailand is still one of the easiest and is one of the friendliest and most affordable countries around.
if you're a US citizen, you have visa-free travel in Thailand for 60 days.
if you need a visa, go to the evisa website, thaievisa.go.th, fill out the form, pay the fee, they'll email you the visa in a couple days.
I usually recommend Thailand or somewhere in Southeast Asia as a first destination. good food, great healthcare, cheap living, great people, beautiful environment, and they're very used to travelers so there are local and expat support systems nationwide.
another nice thing about Southeast asia is that there are tons of other friendly places close by.
it's about as easy to live there as anywhere else, but the support systems and the country being very used to travelers might make first time travelers more comfortable.
oh PS thailand has a lot a lot of really good all you can eat buffets for 3 to 10 dollars per person.
hockey, global sport. sick.
if anyone has any questions about getting out of the country, ask away.
I'm a long-term traveler.
Whoa! That is a legitimately fascinating video, thanks again for sharing. "We Can Do It" is such a great image too.
Youtube shorts might net you a little extra revenue if you have a bunch of these clips, btw, if you aren't way ahead of me, haha, i just learned about shorts.
How long did it take you to develop such a steady hand for the solder?
So there's no glue and the metal doesn't fuse into the glass, but the overhang of the solder once it's cooled acts as a picture frame for each shard and then a complete frame for the whole piece? That's amazing.
And you definitely did great work on the smooth part of the soldering, all of those front-facing lines look very even and smooth.
Ha, easy to bump projects, i got all excited about these t-shirt designs but after four designs i started up a podcast and got super distracted throwing myself into the episodes. It's great to feel that inspiration though when you like a project so much you can be reasonably assured it'll develop into something you're proud of.
Well, I'm excited to see the new piece, thanks for sharing all this information with me, I would have no idea how something like this worked otherwise.
Are there special glass paints to use for the colors?
oh wow and it's a time-lapse, you legend!
that definitely gives me a better idea of how the process goes, thanks a lot for sharing, that was very cool to see.
so that's the copper foil at the end and then do you use a blow torch or something to melt all the pieces together?
that must be so much fun for you also, do you have a lot of projects going on at the same time or do you tend to focus on one at a time?
Ha, that's awesome, thanks for explaining. Yea, I'll definitely check out the video when it goes up, sounds like a nail-biting, rewarding process.
While A Tribe Called Quest may not have been talking directly to you, or about traveling, they still got it right.
If you are wondering if you can travel, the answer is overwhelmingly yes. Hundreds of people who have never traveled before have asked me from all walks of life, at all ages, in any number of circumstances and my answer after hearing about their lives, has always been yes, they can travel.
We are all of us plague!
while this post is popular, i want to mention i dropped a new ep of my travel podcast today: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/yes-you-can--65239344
My favorite foods living in China. I tried to think of one favorite food and came up with 15 immediately, so there'll be a few episodes of favorites.
啤酒烤鸭(Beer-fried duck), 西红柿鸡蛋面(tomato egg noodle soup), 红烧牛肉(soy-braised beef), 麻辣蒜薹腊肉(numbspicy garlic scapes with Chinese bacon) and my favorite Chinese sandwich, or, one of only two anyway(teaser) - 驴肉火烧(donkey jalapeno panini).
Have you been to China or enjoy Chinese food? What Chinese foods do you like?

it's very common in China for a couple people to be playing xiangqi at a stone table in the park and 20 or 30 observers standing around them in a hushed circle, letting out considered grunts or even surprised exclamations at a particularly stunning move.
