I see this lifestyle as a game. Yeah I started on Level 1 with basically no money, no friends, and no real idea of what I wanted to do. I just wanted freedom. But since then I’ve got more money/options, I live a higher quality of life than I did in the US and I’ve got plenty of friends.
Now with everything I do it’s like a game for more freedom (options, quality of life, money, experiences, time). Is everyone else like this?
I describe my way of travelling as some sort of escape game.
So I land to some unfamiliar place, then I get to reach some exit point far away, while having to pass by a couple of checkpoints without dying, ruining myself, or losing my job.
