The One Thing: Nomads, What Would Make You Settle or Return? (alien.top)

Many nomads I've talked to have one major sticking point that keeps them from either moving back home or settling in a new country.

For me, it was Mexico City's air quality and altitude that turned me away, despite the city's appeal.

I also knew someone in Poland who wanted to put down roots, but the thought of not fitting in was a barrier too big to ignore. She moved on, found a partner, and settled elsewhere.

So, what's your story? Is it a single hurdle or a combo deal that keeps you from calling a place home?

Honestly nothing. Even if I ammassed enough wealth to live comfortably in the US, I know I could take that money and live like a queen someplace else.

Every time I'm back in the US I get so annoyed with needless expenses and how everything requires you to fill out a form or stand in a line, or do both. Or it's two forms and then you go from this line, to that line over there until they tell you to come back to this line type of bullshit.
