Hey Tammy! Yeah, I don't live in America because I feel poor and have to work all day just to live with the basics. Last night I got a 4 dollar one our massage ordered right to my hotel room of 12 dollars a night which is way better than the one in this video.
I actually spent New Years eve on an over night train. Pretty lame, but I had plans to meet my frined who arrived New Years Day from the US in Bangkok.
Funny I live your schedule and survive in Oil Country USA ... maybe I should rethink why I cannot survive outside the US. Oh it’s not creepy to have a 4$ massage ... maybe I’ve been in the US too long I’m giggling ... oh I love trains - granted I’m thinking like a James Bond movie. My internal boundaries about this kind of traveling are loosening - I work freelance here and do fine -damn I would be a queen in Thailand. Did you always stumble on these deals? The locals seem accommodating.

You are right. I have lived with this silly thought that I cannot leave this little bubble. Lately - well the past few years I only listen to news outside the US. Learn about things outside my comfort zone ... like going to Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Please understand I am well aware of the excessive gluttony in the US and western world and have been searching endlessly for my own happy place. Living well doesn’t mean living excessively. I appreciate your candor and your advice as I’m close to jumping on a flight within the next year. My fear lies in my kids being able to visit. My fear is not knowing some political climate. My fear lies in food poisoning or being upcharged due to my tourist status. My fear is offending some person and ending up in prison. I have no fear making a living in any area that had internet. I have no fear of moving. I have not one fear of making new friends, crowds or meeting people.... it will next be choosing where to go.
In the US I spent years throwing darts at the map and moved all over looking for the best place for them. So now it’s simply my time to decide. Oh and get over some of my crazy fears ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks again

I just need to add is that is EXACTLY what I’m doing !! I’m looking to start a biz or buy a house or all the crap that is really just keeping me here ... I have 2 years .. and I’m out of here... and it won’t be in Costa Rica or Nicaragua - thanks for confirming that 😁🙀

That’s the thing - I believe I’m over thinking. All my kids but one is an adult and my youngest is 16 and she can travel. I’m leaning so close to Southeast Asia and feel I can hold my own. Of course proximity and though Argentina is great - I want more than steak and wine. Lol
I love the videos and I’m quite inspired to record some of my own antics - as I am more of a foodie and local traveler, but still able to support myself and the fam. I’m going to go stalk your page for the Fear article.
Beyond words do I appreciate your time and don’t think I’m not coming to visit - Bali is one of my top 3 locales and I loves seeing the ease as which you do stay there ... funny how we put our own personal barriers❤️
Have an amazing day my friend ☕️
