Google.com is a great resource.

You might as well toss in “wild unicorns frolicking in the meadow” too.

Cause there’s no way you’d find a place with all of the above.

You sound like you’re kind of a POS who’s stringing a woman along that you don’t really love.

DNs fall in love all the time and travel the world together. Being in a committed relationship has nothing to do with being mobile. You just need to find someone you care about enough to not dream of random hookups like a selfish prick.

Obviously you’re not ready to settle in one place.

1. Bring some hobbies with you.

My first time leaving the USA I figured, “Why bring a Playstation controller? I won’t be playing videogames.”

And I was mostly correct. Until I wanted to play Rocket League on a rainy day and I regretted it.

Currently I’ve started homebrewing again. It is kind of a fun challenge to make decent homebrew when you live out of a backpack, but I’m making due. And better yet, when my homebrew is ready to drink, I have something to share with my friends.

2. It is okay to slow down.

Sometimes people move around every few weeks and they never really get to make friends. This can be pretty taxing/exhausting after a few months. Slow it down a bit, join some whatsapp nomad groups, and try to make friends at language exchanges, etc.

3. Keep connections w/ your friends back home.

I set up a discord group for the boys and I to keep in touch. Instead of a group text that can get kind of annoying, we’re able to fire up all sorts of subchannels in our discord channel to share photos, recipes, memes, etc. And if all else fails, discord is an easy way to jump on group calls or play videogames together.

That would be something worth vlogging!

But funny enough, my dream job once upon a time was to work in the ICC. Would be good for the memes and my career!

Why watch travel vlogs when I can literally be anywhere in the world that I want?

It makes no sense to me to live vicariously through vloggers when I can step outside and vlog myself if I felt like my experiences are worth sharing. (They aren’t.)

Before you go full DN, why not just try backpacking and learning the hostel thing for a while?

I had traveled so much in my younger years that by the time I could go full time DN the last thing I was worried about was social anxiety/making friends in a new country.

Making fast friends in hostels is much easier, but being a DN means you tend to stick around longer/travel slower which I think is far more sustainable.

Get yourselves a nice travel credit card with good perks.

Chase Sapphire Reserve, for example, comes with lounge access when flying, tons of ways to spend points, and pretty fantastic customer service for when shit hits the fan.

Its like $550 per year, but you get $300 back when you use the card for travel expenses, free priority pass access for the card holder and 2 guests, TSA pre-check, and more.

On top of that, you get zero fees for foreign transactions and the like.

Travel credit cards never made sense to me when the most I’d use it for would be a trip every year or two, but as a DN I find ample ways to take advantage of the perks. I no longer mind waiting in airports, I essentially get free flights for just paying rent by getting points for airbnbs, etc.

By just using my card to pay rent I’ve managed to rack up enough points to fly my friends/family to come meet me where I’m at around the world. Even if it doesn’t cover everything, it helps me share my joy as a DN to subsidize my loved ones’ flights to travel outside of the USA when they might otherwise not be able to afford a flight outside of the US.
