This. It also frankly sucks here. I get the feeling most of the posters in here ARE Americans wanting to escape this distopian place and explore the world on the cheap. I'm an expat living and working in America (used to be a work visa, now GC) but I honestly can't stand it here. Everyone I'm friends with at work feels the same way. But the money. The money is just too good. Like really really really good. So go perm remote and travel to other countries is the only way to survive and keep your sanity. Been doing it for a few years now and couldn't imagine living any other way now. I get depressed every time I have to return to the US for a while.
Yeah I get the sense that there’s a ton of Americans here as well. Americans themselves can be cool and there are definitely cool things to see and do in America but going there for an extended stay as a digital nomad? Hell no. Like you said, the money is appealing but otherwise it’s super dull. Australia (where I’m from) is the same.
