This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I didn't move here, I bounce around Asia while working remotely, though I usually spend a little over half the year here.
The food, prices, and people/culture make up for the language being literally impossible for me and the weather being pretty tough outside the highlands and some mountains north of Hanoi. Some rain gear and I can deal with 4+ hour motorcycle trips in pouring rain, but there's nothing I can do about walking outside and instantly sweating through my shirt.
Interesting. What made you start a nomadic lifestyle like this? Do you do it alone? Do you think you'll ever settle down?
Living in America was killing me.
I travel alone, but I make acquaintances everywhere.
Maybe I'll settle down some day. The longer I stay in software engineering the more I long to leave it and become a mushroom farmer in northern Japan.
