It's fucking lonely, that's the main thing. You can't build meaningful relationships, you can't establish a home base, you can only travel with a small amount of items, language barriers are a killer (even in English-strong countries), and the hassle of moving place to place, vetting long-term rentals, meeting hosts, etc consumes much more time than you'd think. It's great to travel, and I do love the aspect of doing that. But I think it's better to travel to places 1-2 weeks at a time with a girlfriend/friend with a proper hotel than do this.
Now I want to share my perspective as an American. These past few months have also made me more grateful for being an American. I like Europe, especially Vienna, my favorite city besides Reykjavik, but America is better in many more ways than I realized. People are nicer, food is better (I didn't actually thing this would be true but it is. I'm in Italy and all I can think about is how the Italian food in America is better), dating is easier (European women are strange, still figuring them out), alcohol is WAY better. I also miss private car use more than I thought I would, car-based infrastructure can be ugly but with a car, you really can go anywhere without having to wait for the tram/bus.
There are definitely objectively better parts of Europe though, namely coffee, history, food quality (as in ingredients rather than taste in this case), city safety (this is a big one, you can mostly relax in European cities while in America you always have to look over your shoulder), demographics, museums (but that's more useful to a tourist than a resident), infrastructure quality, and some other things.
So I'm torn. One thing I know is that I can't keep doing this moving around thing, I need a place to call home. My actual home (North Carolina) is pretty great, but I would love to live in Vienna longer term. Thing is, I have no clue how to get a visa that lets me stay longer. Anyway, I'm out of space, thanks for reading my blog.
". You can't build meaningful relationships"
Get a load of this homosexual.
Sorry, not everyone on this board is a shut in. I know what website I'm on but please be inclusive of your non-celibate peers.
OP it just sounds like you're struggling to find a purpose in life in general. I suggest re-evaluating what void you're attempting to fill with traveling and address it.
>OP it just sounds like you're struggling to find a purpose in life in general. I suggest re-evaluating what void you're attempting to fill with traveling and address it.
Thanks for that whiplash of reddit pseudo-psychology. I'm not struggling to find purpose, just weighing my options. Don't post again.
>I know Portugal has a digital nomad visa
I don't want to live in Portugal though, and that visa requires you to live in Portugal. I want to live in Vienna if I live in the EU.
I don't see how anyone could enjoy it in Europe long term. Maybe it's better in LATAM or SEA, I've never been there.
I suggest turning to Christ my guy, you definitely seem like you need guidance. Hope you do find you life's purpose, brother.
Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I'm literally just asking for insight on moving, have a nice day.
why don't you just go find a country you like then start a family there?
That would require not being a wishy washy temperamental over analyzing indecisive bitch boi
>Thanks for the unsolicited advice
What do you expect when you make a whiny blogpost on SighSee? Jesus christ, you are an obnoxious fag. No wonder you can't connect with people in real life
>Thanks for that whiplash of reddit pseudo-psychology. I'm not struggling to find purpose, just weighing my options. Don't post again.
Displaying such an obnoxious sense of self superiority coupled with dismissive arrogance and ego issues.
Travel is not the reason why you are lonely OP. It might be related to the fact that you are a textbook narcissist and probably a very unpleasent person that everyone tries to avoid.
We all know its just a front though. Acting all tough and confident when in reality you are trying to hide your insecurities.
Reflect upon that. That way maybe you will be able to find your purpose in life and actually make friends since you wont be an insufferable cunt
Thank you too for that whiplash of reddit pseudo-psychology, even complete with reddit spacing!
>Travel is not the reason why you are lonely OP.
I'm not lonely as a person, I'm lonely living a lifestyle where it's physically impossible to form meaningful relationships unless you just want to fucking lie to women saying "oh yeah, I'm moving here," every relationship is entirely transactional, i.e. "what can this person do for me in the short period of time they're available?"
It's pretty obvious judging by your attitude that it's impossible for *just* you. You sound like a massive fag dude, and like others have stated itt already, your personality sucks lol. I get genuine "prey" vibes from you, feel like you'd be a massive pushover/pussy irl.
Really? That's funny, because I get massive "I was raised by a single mom and now accuse everyone I don't like of having some personality disorder like she did" vibes from you. Sorry you never met your dad and that everyone disagreeing with you offends you on a fundamental level and your wagecuck lifestyle spent ... harassing people on a travel board. I'm also guessing that you romanticize digital nomadship, so you're mad at me from breaking your fantasy that you will one day achieve this magical dream of being a gypsy in Europe when your boss lets you scurry away on sabbatical. Have a nice day.
there's that winning attitude on full display haha. you've got bigger problems than finding a place to live. good luck to you man.
>If multiple people tell me i'm a fag it must be a conspiracy of 35 devices all programmed to bother me, it can't be that i'm actually a massive insufferable flaming homosexual
Sperg, my assessment is confirmed
You're obnoxious but I'l point out the obvious for you anyways
>I don't want to live in Portugal though, and that visa requires you to live in Portugal. I want to live in Vienna if I live in the EU.
Both Portugal and Austria are in the Schengen area so how would they know where you're actually staying?
The amount of seethe I caused in you for some reason, I must remind you of your childhood bully.
>you can't establish a home base
Why not? I know Portugal has a digital nomad visa, other countries probably have something similar, or will soon.
>I also miss private car use more than I thought I would, car-based infrastructure can be ugly but with a car, you really can go anywhere without having to wait for the tram/bus.
Can you not just use uber when you're in a hurry?
No one actually enjoys being a digital nomad. They do it for social media attention and nothing more
i would like america but how do i avoid the ghetto parts while enjoying the populated parts
Recognizing the signs. Eventually you develop a sense for what is genuinely dangerous gang territory and what is just minorities pretending to be dangerous gangersters and lowering their own property values for a LARP
For instance many Puerto Rican neighborhoods appear to be 'the hood' but they're just obnoxious, all bark no bite.
No such thing. I spent $90 on a couple of coffees and sandwiches in Seattle only to see a black guy with his shitty ass exposed passed out in the adjacent community garden. Go to the Middle easytfuck this gay society.
Too long too whiny didn't read past the first paragraph. No one forced you to move from place to place constantly, no one forced you to be an autist who can't build meaningful relationships. How about stick to one spot for longer then a month, meet a girlfriend, meet some friends.
>How about stick to one spot for longer then a month
That's literally what I'm doing, but you didn't read the post.
I thought about this, but I haven't found any non-schengen countries I like enough to stay for three months. I'll go to SEA at some point this year and see how I like it, but I'm disillusioned about the whole digital nomad thing as it stands.
>I thought about this, but I haven't found any non-schengen countries I like enough to stay for three months.
Yup, insufferable narcissistic cunt confirmed. You probably have a very punchable face too.
Have you thought about doing 3 months in Vienna, then 3 months in a non-Schengen country?
Please stay in "America".
That’s just the life my dude. It’s inherently for loners.
I can't say anything meaningful about the digital nomad thing, but failing to build up meaningful relationships is not inherent to being a digital nomad in Europe.
It is also telling that you like American Italian food better than the real Italian food. You can't figure out European women, you dislike public transport and favour the car-based infrastructure of the US.
Maybe, just maybe, you are incompatible with Europe and should look into doing this thing in your own country. I do not understand why you make the effort to complain on this board about how crappy your experience in Europe has been, and how much better the US is. It is not. It's different.
>how crappy your experience in Europe has been
It hasn't been crappy, the isolation has been. I've had relationships with women here, I've enjoyed much of it. I was highlighting the pros and cons. I will say objectively that I don't really like the attitude of your people. They're not rude, but they're very "inward," especially central Europe. Except for Icelandic people, they're very nice (probably because their population is 60% tourist). Spanish people are nice too, but they don't speak a fucking word of English.
23.
No, it really is a digital nomad problem. The things you require imply staying somewhere for 6+ months, which is not nomad, it's just expat.
>23.
Midlife crisis
>Midlife crisis
Sorry. Spelling mistake
>midwit
I agree on your observation about relationships. Few people with options will want to put in the effort to befriend someone who might be gone in a few months. Expats are generally in a similar situation. This might be fine if you're in your early 20s but it gets untenable really fucking fast. All social interactions become temporary and transactional.
I actually have similar feelings/ambitions/issues OP. I try and remind myself that virtually every 40+ married with children man would absolutely kill to live in a foreign country without building meaningful relationships. Also consider that what you are doing would have been virtually impossible even 50 years ago.
I am trying to look on the bright side, but yes, constantly wish I had established a normal life in the US, which I too have gained a massive appreciation for after traveling.
How old are you?
>every 40+ married with children man would absolutely kill to live in a foreign country without building meaningful relationships
They would want to be a loner in a foreign country over having a family and raising their kids? Yeah no, you are just coping.
Traveling was never meant to be a lifestyle. If traveling becomes permanent, then you are a migrant, a hobbo , a gipsy a wandering israelite, or now a rootless wagie. Nothing good can come out of it.
Certainly I am coping, because I have a lot of regret, but allow me to explain.
Yes, absolutely, a majority of men with children would love to go bang women from other countries while living there a yet undetermined amount of time.
You are only a loner as long as you do not make friends.
>Traveling was never meant to be a lifestyle.
There is nothing about the situation we are discussing that insists you pack up and move every 2 weeks. You could live in these places for a month, maybe a year depending on your job.
>If traveling becomes permanent, then you are a migrant, a hobbo , a gipsy a wandering israelite, or now a rootless wagie.
If by traveling you mean constantly relocating, see above. If you mean not being in the US, you are financially self sufficient and living a better quality of life than the locals or what the dollar would buy back home. Oh no, you'll never get to vote or open a bank account - who cares.
You clearly haven't met many western/american men. I can promise you, the majority want nothing to do with traveling and banning random sluts. They want to drive their f150 around town, get drunk with their townie friends and occasionally have sex with their below average wife. They are actually totally content with that life until the bitch (if she eventually does) leaves him and rips his world apart.
>Traveling was never meant to be a lifestyle.
Don't know what you're talking about, nomadic hunting and gathering is the most trad lifestyle there is
Nomadic TRIBES moved from place to place together, not some loner hunter hoping from tribe to tribes.
This is not a normal behavior in human history/interactions. If someone was a loner back then it's because he was an outcast in the tribe he was born in... and guess what... it's still is the same today.
This is why I call it the digital nomad meme
You either have to be very ok being disconnected from roots or a have group/tribe to move around with, as alludes to
This is why I just have a homebase in a neighborhood in philippines
But you can make meaningful relationships. Learn the local language, be a part of the community, join a combat sport. Friendships, relationships & whatnot form from there. In Bulgaria, I made quite a few friends here because I was interested in the culture. People naturally respect foreigners who learn the language who aren't ethnically of them because it means something. It's interesting.
Ultimately, this isn't a digital nomad problem- it's a you problem.
Sounds like you are in a spiritual crisis and/or existential crisis. I recommend you take ayahuasca or reconnect with your family.
You're reading too much into this.
Not exactly.
Iceland is objectively beautiful, this is a pretty strange opinion. Anyway, it's not about the type of social interaction, it's about having no social interaction. It would be the same if I were moving between US cities.
>I think you aren't cut out for this and you're forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy. But most people love doing this, I certainly do.
This may be the case. I do really like the traveling aspect, but I'm not the kind of person to walk into a bar and start making friends with everyone. I'm not socially awkward or anything, I just don't really have that much in common with the average person and speaking with them is always sort of draining. I've curated a potent normie persona for interacting with women 1:1, but I don't know if I can do that with for a group of people. Usually when I get into a group of people I just be quiet, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm not really introverted or anything, I just sort of hate the dissonance of group interactions where you have to pretend to care about the banal shit that most people talk about. I'm genuinely curious if I'd enjoy a radically different culture like in Asia more, but that's a different conversation.
There might be truth to this. I don't know anyone who travels so I came into this situation extremely ignorant, I've made a lot of mistakes already in regards to location that have made me pretty miserable, with exception to some of the historical stuff I've seen which I loved. This is why I'm theorizing it's best for me to travel to dedicated places, see dedicated things, and then leave. But maybe my mistakes, as you said, have disillusioned me inappropriately, and this could be a lot better. But I'm out of Schengen days in March, so I have to go home at least until May. I also hate speaking other languages, not because I can't, but it just feels weird.
>I've curated a potent normie persona for interacting with women 1:1, but I don't know if I can do that with for a group of people.
You think you have some sort of a clever mask that none one can see past, but in reality you just come off as an arrogant, socially awkward idiot. I have uncommon interests and opinions, yet somehow this has never been a real issue. I wouldn't bring up reading classics to some random dude, but there's definitely no reason to fake being someone you're not. People find you boring, you're so sterilised most people can see you're a fake. I've been able to make extremely socially incorrect jokes with normies, I swear you're bit of a pussy. Why don't you actually show more of your real personality?
>it just feels weird
You'll struggle a lot in Europe and most of the world in general. English is only useful for superficial things, even a few words in local language and desire to learn more about languages, culture, etc. will do you favors. One of the easiest ways to befriend someone is by learning local swearwords lol.
I'm getting a picture that you're bit of a sperg, I don't know what to say,
Balkans are cool, but I mean Southern Europe like Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, parts of France, etc. But Germany and cold countries like that are not great if you're actually looking to meet people easily. German speaking world is not known for being very friendly. I don't think that most of them want to be unfriendly, but there's something very neurotic and shy about the average German. Not everyone, but anyone who has interacted with Germans for a bit will know what I am talking about.
>You think you have some sort of a clever mask that none one can see past, but in reality you just come off as an arrogant, socially awkward idiot.
In reality you're just projecting. I'm sorry being different doesn't work for you because you're short and ugly, but not everyone's in your position. I'm not an asshole, I just curate my surroundings. So go cope somewhere else, didn't read the rest of your worthless post. Maybe go watch Bladerunner 2049 or Driver and keep imaging you're Ryan Gosling, works for many spergs like you.
I'm 184 and objectively good looking. Jesus Christ you're an insufferable homosexual. Just go back, no one wants you around.
Q: what other treatments for schizophrenia exists besides medicine?
A: In addition to medications, there are several other treatments that can help with managing schizophrenia symptoms. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and social skills training. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and change dysfunctional thinking patterns and behavior. Family therapy helps family members learn to better support the person with schizophrenia, build stronger relationships, and improve communication. Supportive psychotherapy helps people with schizophrenia cope with stress, identify and manage symptoms, and develop social skills. Social skills training helps individuals with schizophrenia learn how to interact with others more effectively.
You're a sad homosexual, end of. Like I said you don't have a convincing mask. You're a fake. Just a dull homosexual thinking he is better than others. You might think you're convincing but I guarantee even your close family think you're a massively homosexual who is probably still a virgin.
You strike me as sort of a pussy. Like you're too scared of everything. How about this - I post my face and you post yours. I'm curious how you look like. Anything else and you're a scared pussy.
Q: i know someone suffering from schizophrenia who's lashing out at people on anonymous imageboards. what can I do to help them?
A: It can be very difficult to help someone with schizophrenia who is lashing out at people on anonymous imageboards. It is important to remember that the individual is likely feeling overwhelmed and overwhelmed by the symptoms of their condition. It is best to start by trying to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for them, and to offer reassurance that their feelings are understandable and valid. Additionally, it is important to understand the individual's triggers and to be aware of any signs of distress, so that you can intervene before the situation escalates. It is also important to encourage them to seek professional help, as they may benefit from therapy and medication. Finally, it is important to stay connected to the individual and to be there to offer emotional support.
You're a pussy.
You have to be German given how robotically humorless you are. I want to keep baiting you, but it's like kicking a puppy at this point.
I'm not a German. Like I said - I will post my face and you post yours. It's a sure bet you look like an ugly homosexual with a quivering lip. You posted and got utterly BTFO by everyone who could be bothered to post here. You didn't "bait" or "BTFO" everyone, you're the equivalent of that weak, weird kid everyone bullies in school. Jesus Christ.
Q: My schizophrenic friend is resisting all the help I'm trying to give him. I'm trying to be supportive, get meds for him, therapy, but he's still resisting. When should we talk about committment to an institution?
A: It is understandable that your friend is resistant to the help you are trying to offer, as this is a difficult situation for them to be in. Before discussing commitment to an institution, it is important to try to explore other options and make sure that the individual is receiving the best possible treatment and support. This may include medication, therapy, and peer support groups. It is also important to ensure that the individual is safe and not a danger to themselves or others. If all other options have been exhausted, then you can discuss the possibility of commitment to an institution. However, it is important to make sure that the individual is aware of their rights, and to ensure that the decision is made in their best interests.
I dont' get lonely so I don't really know, but yeah staying a place 1-2 weeks just moving around town a bit seems to be ideal anyway
I hate Iceland, it’s just Disney presents Scandinavia, whole country is a tourist trap.
Without trying to throw stones at you OP, this might be why you like it. I’m not sure where in the USA you’re from, but it has a superficial social layer that you might be more used to dealing with, which gives it appeal compared to the more reserved central and Eastern European approach.
>be American
>have shit tier opinions
I'm from EU and I've done nothing but travel for the last few years. You can build relationships, you just need to find people with similar mindset as you, which might be hard if you're boring. Also you're a retard if you're comparing Italian food to Italian American. The regionality, depth and variety is just mind blowing when it comes to Italy. And yes, I lived in Piemonte and Lombardia for a year or so, I've actually tried food that doesn't come for a tourist trap for retards who can't learn ten words of Italian. I've never heard an American say dating is easier back home, plus your women are not as attractive as most Euros (except Bongs maybe). I know, I worked at a hostel and rarely any US/Canadian girls were fuckable or remarkable.
tl;dr
you're a boring fag with shit opinion stay where you came from
Also
>goes to a fucking Germanic country as a digital expat
This is like #1 dead retard giveaway.
In Southern Europe EVERYTHING is better.
>women are hotter
>food is 100x better
>everything is cheaper
>loads of things to see, beautiful nature, great weather year round
>people are not arrogant spergs or shut ins
>life is good in general
>romance languages are just more beautiful than German and easier to learn
i thought by southern europe you meant balkans then what you said would be true
I'm also struggling to understand how are you isolated. There's bars, places to hang out, all sorts of hobby related activities etc. to engage in and you're still complaining that you can't even make any connection with anyone... it is 100% a you problem. Did you expect people would find you interesting just because you're travelling? You're also 23, it's easier than ever to meet people in your 20's. If anything I have found that being a foreigner and only there temporarily loosens a lot of tongues and gets people talking. Also people who are struggling with their friends lacking certain perspective are usually more than happy to talk to a foreigner who might hold opinions which are not the usual in their home country. Have you installed any dating apps? Checked out any hostels for open days when anyone can go in and join activities? Signed up for meet ups? Tried bars in the city center that are not entirely all foreigners, but a bit of both? Just because you are stuck in one place for many years doesn't mean you will build meaningful relationships. Many people struggle finding any friends at all despite living in the same place for DECADES.
I think you aren't cut out for this and you're forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy. But most people love doing this, I certainly do.
I live in Italy and the food is the same, the major food is the same option in fact there are less options here because most recipes are family recipes only made at home, which Italian Americans also make at home. If you want a real experience you need to live with Italian people. The coffee experience is a unique one, the servings of cappuccino are so small, there is no iced coffee so when it's hot you either get an almost frozen thick chocolate milkshake coffee or another drink, which actually sucks, iced coffee is a real treat in the summer.
Italian and American food is not the same at all. I'm sure you can casually just find good Toma in several different varieties in an American shop. I don't think any American has ever had tapulone or any regional dish like that .
Over 300 million people, international cities, grocery stores full of imported goods, and you are positive not a single one has eaten an Italian dish? And your example was to pick a regional specific dish that most Italian people have never eaten before? Really?
Dear lord the takes some people have is astounding.
Most Italians eat highly regional dishes. I don't think most people realize this. If you go into a supermarket in Piemonte the types of cheese you will find will mostly be local and those sort of things have minimal export, if any at all. I've tried very specific regional dishes that you wouldn't find elsewhere. It's laughable that morons like you think that Italian cuisine is just pasta + pizza in like 20 varieties. US Italian cuisine is like a few dishes that are heavily bastardised and Americanised to the point where they have barely anything to do with Italy, meanwhile Italy is extremely regional and there are probably thousand different kinds of dishes all around the country. And these days Italians definitely do eat dishes from different regions, especially from the South as they work in the North. It's a very low IQ opinion that was probably formed by eating out in a restaurant once. Then again I've met some bongs who claimed they hated all cold cuts and most cheeses that aren't Cheddar, so some people are literally immunised to good things in life. Sort of like some people will read trash pulp literature and think that classics are shit because they require more than two brain cells combined.
tl;dr
pearls before swine, etc. Italy and France ARE the best countries for food in the entire world.
To add, if I showed this to the most food "experts" that have tried one or two restaurants in any given country, they'd probably think this was actually a Swedish dish jfl. Stick to burgers and corn syrup.
ahem
sovl
it's basically risotto alla mantovana
I think you are talking to the wrong person. Vivo qua in Italia, che cazzo stai dicendo Please take whatever medicine your doctor prescribed for you, it can help.
Then you might be a retard because Italian food and American food is not the same at all lmao. I had an Italian ex, I've lived in Northern Italy for more than a year. Even going to France many things you take for granted you can't even find anymore. I've never seen a packet of panna outside of Italy. Pasta with tuna and onions doesn't taste the same with regular heavy cream. But I've seen an Italian dude eat gnocchi with ragu with fucking heaps of mayo, so being born there indeed does not give you any sense necessarily.
Secondo me hai ragione. La differenza fra locale e importato/bastardizzato si nota anche fra regione e regione. Avere un riferimento conosciuto di prima persona o quasi per i prodotti locali fa tutta la differenza del mondo, poi ovvio che anche qui si compra la roba di grande distribuzione
Yeah Italianbro sorry, your coffee isn't a highlight of Italian culture. I don't know how since you're juxtabosed between 2 countries that did get it right. Didn't you invent it?
Wow, another melodramatic sperg on SighSee, imagine my shock. My life isn't boring, and DN wasn't an attempt to "fix" that. It was about traveling, but my discovery is that this is the worst way to do it because of how isolated it is.
>The rest of your posting sounds like you've lived an incredibly sheltered life
This actually is true though. Traveling has definitely made me more well-rounded.
As a European, I agree with the people are nicer thing. The rest, well, it's just either life (countries have different languages kek) or just you.
>As a European, I agree with the people are nicer thing.
It's false, Americans are only friendlier on a superficial level.
>It's false, Americans are only friendlier on a superficial level.
I'm so sick of this meme. If you fall down/throw up/something like in America, people will rush to your aid and ask if you're okay. Same thing in nicer-people countries like Spain, but in much of Europe people don't give a shit about everything else and rush to their wagebox to make 30k a year (taxed at 50% of course). America #1.
this really was a blog post, fucking hell. sorry your lack of social skills prevented you from having a good time but don't blame it on the lifestyle.
>this really was a blog post, fucking hell. sorry your lack of social skills prevented you from having a good time but don't blame it on the lifestyle.
This is rich. You have to be an actual shut-in sperg to enjoy digital nomad, literally zero opportunity to form genuine relationships, especially in Europe where people are honestly more superficial and banal than America. Go fuck yourself, retard.
Typical SighSee sperg comeback,

I love when people post this as if it's infallible evidence that you're not a lunatic polluting someone else's thread with impotent rage from multiple devices. Don't forget to pay 50% of your income to taxes, my European friend.
>My fallible proof is counts and yours doesn't because... it just does ok?
I'm starting to notice a pattern of initiating dumb fucking arguments and then crying when others use the same methods against you
It's all true.
Pick a country and settle, but know that whatever you choose there will be limitations long term, and make sure you're down with them. You can always relocate every 5 years, but even that gets old eventually, especially if you don't have a "home base" to go back to.
I relate to this so much. I did this in Asia and I met a lot of people as sort of friends and had my short lived relationship because I felt lonely too. I would meet someone but be struggling with money then I would be working and busy but not have anyone and then it was like is this even fulfilling longterm? The exploring is great, staying too long somewhere made me feel empty so I kept going around and I realized I need a home base and stability and I am still working on that. To fill the emptiness I made goals, I have travel goals but also life foals. I try many new things too, always learning something new and meeting new people. I returned to a lot of things I gave up to travel, I got back into music and make music, I got back into sports and dance and I work on those projects, maybe to work in that again as a performer or a coach, I have learned to cook a variety of meals now, many recipes I learned living abroad, I am single and carefree now and just getting my home base doesn't mean traveling is done just toned down.
What are you long term goals?
And you know even if you make a plan you don't have to stick to it, flow with the current of life.
>What are you long term goals?
Many, and as much as an emotional rollercoaster this has been, I don't regret it. It definitely gave me perspective and inspiration to make the most of my life at home. This really woke me up to the value of creating genuine relationships.
>It's fucking lonely, that's the main thing
Oh boy it's another "Digital Nomad was suppose to make my boring af life interesting" anon.
I've been doing DN for 7ish years at this point and it's fine, but if you have a boring life already and more introverted than extroverted you'll have a REAL bad time out there. If you can't hold it together doing a WFH thing you'll run into issues abroad way faster.
The rest of your posting sounds like you've lived an incredibly sheltered life or very introverted lifestyle and only know places based off their stereotypes. DN is hell for people who aren't able to easily flip themselves to an extrovert lifestyle.
I want to find a tribe where I belong overseas. Could never fit in back home but seem to be able to meet people easier in Europe
>digital nomad
>European women are strange, still figuring them out
Maybe they aren't so dumb and figuring out that you just want a two week relationship lol? If you want something with them maybe don't try travel around the continent like a gypsy. We have literally professional whores for such people
Guys I've spend 156 hours reading reddit posts and I think I've got it narrowed down to Denver, Zagreb or Cartagena. I just can't decide. Can you please tell me which one is perfectly catered for me and my digital nomad lifestyle?
Detroid suburbs.
You went from America to Italy and complained about how dating wasn’t easier and how food made in a completely different culture didn’t taste as good as food made at home. European women in general are not nicer than American women. Go to Asia or South America
>Go to Asia or South America
I will this year, I'm pretty optimistic.
>how food made in a completely different culture didn’t taste as good as food made at home.
No, food in America literally just tastes better. I'm not talking about fast food of course, but actual restaurants. Oh, and the portions here fucking suck too. Every restaurant I go to in Italy I pay $25 and get literally four bites to eat. Have to got to Asian restaurants just to feel full and eat something besides carbs.
>American gets to eat ACTUAL food for the first time, his palate is SHOCKED beyond repair
Travel is fun but only if you have life settled at home. Digital nomad lifestyle works well for couples it seems.
>I'm in Italy and all I can think about is how the Italian food in America is better
stopped reading after this. you are obviously a retarded pleb and/or contrarian. too dumb to live a good life. good luck
this is mental illness, get help.
Yes, you definitely need help.
Start by taking 30 days off this site, it will improve your state of mind for sure.
Q: What medications help with schizophrenia?
A: Antipsychotic medications are the most commonly prescribed drugs for treating schizophrenia. These medications are designed to reduce the symptoms associated with schizophrenia, including delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech and behavior. Commonly prescribed antipsychotics include risperidone (Risperdal), aripiprazole (Abilify), clozapine (Clozaril), quetiapine (Seroquel), olanzapine (Zyprexa), paliperidone (Invega), ziprasidone (Geodon), and lurasidone (Latuda). Side effects of these medications may include sedation, weight gain, and movement disorders. It is important to discuss with your doctor any potential side effects and risks associated with these medications before beginning treatment.
Alexa, stop.
lol this shit went off the rails. that's what OP gets for being a cunt.
>gets called out for being a robotic, stiff homosexual with no guts
WAAH WAHH PROJECTION XDDDDD
Fellow DN here. I'd recommend creating a loose itinerary where you return to certain locations at choice times of the year. It's how I've made and maintained friends/relationships. People see your face in spring/summer/fall/whatever consistently and that builds trust and familiarity. Just my two cents. Also, if europe really isn't your cup of tea then the US is plenty big enough to laptop hobo around. Try LATAM or SEA as well, its a different experience. SighSee's obsession aside, Japan is pretty damn great imo.

>make a thread whining about being a boring homosexual that doesn't live an exciting or interesting life despite thinking that being a digital nomad will magically make them a cool person, especially in the eyes of the average normies, for whom he has a "curated personality"

Q: my schizophrenic friend posts on anonymous forums and assume the identities of multiple people, even until well after the thread has died, continuing to impotently rage by himself, only to the amusement of the one person trolling him. How do I tell him to move on?
A: It can be difficult to get a friend to move on from an anonymous forum, especially if they have become accustomed to assuming the identities of multiple people. It is important to be respectful and understanding of your friend’s struggles, while also providing them with guidance and support. A good starting point is to have an open and honest conversation with your friend and let them know that there may be better ways to use their time and energy. Suggest that they try new hobbies or activities that they can enjoy, such as joining a club or taking a class. Encourage them to seek professional help if they feel overwhelmed or unable to cope. Finally, remind them that they are not alone and that there are people who care about them and want to help.
Here's the butthurt OP btw.
this is just sad OP. When someone is an annoying homosexual such as yourself everyone notices hence all the negative replies to your gay thread
Q: is there a cure for schizophrenia? I know someone who pretends to be multiple people on SighSee blue boards but is too stupid to realize the IP number doesn't increase when he posts from multiple devices on the same network, thus making it obvious
A: Unfortunately, there is no known cure for schizophrenia, however, there are treatments available that can help manage the symptoms. These include antipsychotic medications, psychosocial interventions, and other treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, and supportive psychotherapy. It is important for those with schizophrenia to receive professional help in order to manage their symptoms, as without treatment, the symptoms can worsen over time. Additionally, it is important for those with schizophrenia to be aware of their own behaviors and to take steps to manage them in order to prevent further problems and complications.
Someone calling you a homosexual is not a schizophrenic. Why are you so insecure? What are you trying to prove?
Commendatori!
>DN sucks it doesn't work
>OP what did you do for DN
>uhhh just stuff you know trying to be based giga chad Digital Nomad bro!
>okay but what did you actually plan around and for this lifestyle
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHY ARE PEOPLE PROJECTING LIKE I DIDN'T GRASP I NEEDED TO EXPLORE AND PUSH MYSELF TO DO SIMPLE SOCIALIZING TASKS! PROJECTION MUCH REEEEE
OP I would feel sorry for you but it's clear you didn't understand anything about DN going in and failed to push yourself to do anything outside your comfort zone. No wonder you had a shit time and a shittier attitude simple rules for DN successfully
Digital Nomad is successful when
>you have a fucking reason to go abroad and actual passion or motivation for it
>you have a position or job that allows you to actually have energy or time to go out and do things abroad
>you are able to self motivate getting out of your hotel daily and juggle work+pleasure
You seemed to do none of these and yolo it, DN is horrible and a shitfest if you don't have a basic grasp or idea as to why you are doing what you do.
>you have a position or job that allows you to actually have energy or time to go out and do things abroad
>>you are able to self motivate getting out of your hotel daily and juggle work+pleasure
I do. But none of this compensates for reducing every relationship into a temporary and transactional interaction like
said.
And you think when you will settle in one place you will magically get meaningful relationships? Outside of childhood and teen years most relationships are transactional and short lived. Most people rarely stick around or stay in touch.
I mean, yes. I lived my entire life up until last fall in one area, so I'd kinda know.
It really depends. I would never date a British women, my (limited) exposure to them has given me the impression they're the biggest whores on the planet, and that, combined with their Jersey-shoe makeup routines, make them much worse than American women. Nordic women are hot, but have stratospheric body counts based on the fact they've casualized sex essentially more than any other culture in history and interactions with them just feel soulless because they've essentially nuked their ability to pairbond. Central European women are autistic but make for pretty decent relationships if you can find one you vibe with, speaking/fucking one you really get the vibe that it's "just your turn." I can't speak for much of the others, still have traveling to do.
You're on my wavelength. If at somepoint I get residency in Europe I will live in Vienna though. Vienna is awesome and women are decent, despite the sterotypes about central Europeans + plenty of expats anyway. Yes, they're much less likely to fuck on the first 1-2 dates, but the relationships are generally more meaningful (I guess those two are probably related).

What's a digital nomad?
its people who get paid to send emails decide to send emails from a third world hotel
Literally just someone who lives in different places.
This is a NEET who's never held a job.
>with a car, you really can go anywhere
You're a good American. Go to America. A lot of people are legitimately bad Americans and good whatever else.
>people are nicer in shartland
>dating is better in shartland

t. burger who has been to europe.
I definitely relate. I wfh and everyone hypes "digital nomading" up so much that I had to give it a try. It's nice to be able to travel while working. Exploring new cities, new food, new culture, new language. But it gets so lonely.
Even if you do end up meeting cool people to connect with, everyone realizes that it's gonna be over in a matter of weeks because you have to keep going. The worst part for me is definitely having to book new rentals/airbnb for every destination. The process is really daunting and requires careful planning (unless you want to risk getting a shit place) because you're going to want something that has reliable internet for your work, that is in a somewhat good location for your travels and shopping, that is safe, that the owner is not a cunt, and that isn't too pricey or too cheap. Also packing and unpacking is a constant worry so you have to learn to limit your belongings to 1 backpack.
Overall, I've learnt a lot from it. I don't know if I'll want to do it again because I realize that conventional traveling is way nicer. I won't particularly mind having to work from different countries though, but doing it solo truly takes a part of your soul after 1-2 weeks
