Walkscape is a fun mobile analog to runescape where xp in a dozen skills is gained by real-world steps.
It’s still being built and expanded but its alpha stage is very playable and besides the skills has exploration, challenges, items, apparel, pets and a lot of fun stuff going for it, all while being a casual, healthy game.
Looks like signups are open now.
Hey there, I’ve been living abroad outside the US(my birth country) for about 15 years. If you guys don’t mind teaching English, you have a guaranteed job on or offline that’ll pay for a comfortable life in most countries. Rent/utilities/wifi/data/groceries can be had for about $500 a month in most countries, up to $800 for a couple, about $1000-$1400 in the housing-crisis countries.
Depending on your comfort level with traveling, it might be easy to start in Central or South America since it’s close, tickets are cheap and the language won’t throw you as much. As US citizens you have visa free or VOA in 180ish countries, so you can fly there as soon as you get the ticket.
South East Asia is also wonderful, and many people live there traveling from one country to the next every 3-6 months. A few countries have cheap digital nomad visas, but I find it much easier to move at the end of my visa time or do a visa run, where you leave the country briefly and then return, like taking a ferry from Thailand to Myanmar and back. Or visiting Cambodia for a week and then flying back.
You have many, many, options as a traveler, you don’t really have to worry about learning a new language although you’ll get along and probably feel more comfortable in new countries if you learn the basics.
Check out the Travel community, the sidebar FAQs, many of the community posts go into a lot more detail and if you have any questions, reach out to me. I’m still living abroad right now and am happy to answer all your questions.
Many people turn back to crime because they still don’t feel like they have a choice.
Countries with lower recidivism focus on providing the social support people often need to rejoin and contribute to society.
The focus of most US incarceration systems is profit; to exploit criminals for their near-free labor while receiving taxpayer money to house those criminals.
Additionally, most states in the U.S. charge prison inmates for their incarceration. This policy is almost never referenced in TV or movies, but 42 states and DC have “pay for stay” incarceration legal frameworks, so a prisoner can be charged for meals and rent and medical care every day they are incarcerated, then get out of jail or prison in the US and be in more debt than when they went in.
It’s also difficult to get a job as a convict in the US and get access to social support, so without any legal way to support themselves and no viable social framework by which to rejoin society, many US criminals feel forced to fall back into criminal activity just to pay for rent, food, and their children.
tldr: Exchange first, bring less cash.
You can bring that much and generally have to declare bringing in any amount of cash over 10,000 euros into the EU.
I’ve been traveling 15 years and find that currency exchange heavily depends on your currency and local facility of exchange, so:
i have no doubt you’ll be able to find a money changer that can exchange rial and dinar, but since they’re not as popular as other dominant currencies at the moment, it is worth checking prices in your area before you go.
If you can find a place that exchanges under 5% nominal exchange rate, there’s a good likelihood that’s a better exchange rate than you’ll find upon arrival in the EU.
If you’ve gone several days without eating or drinking, it sounds like you needed to spend that money.
I’m happy you did spend that money and ate and drank; it sounds like the right decision.
Sorry, my internet apparently died at the least opportune moment and I just saw my last reply didn’t go through. I think I said roughly:
OMAD works for my body: saves time, guts don’t go nuts. I do OMAD because it makes things easier for me: it’s healthy for me and my life circumstances.
Eating doesn’t sound wrong if you’re putting your family in jeopardy by fasting. Eating sounds like the right way to go.
Truth can be damaging, your truth and self-harm don’t have to be exclusive.
I’m glad we’re talking. Talking about it more could help; perspective and expression is often helpful.
Oh, I see. I’ve been doing OMAD for 8 years or so and also like fasting for longer periods occasionally, but I don’t want you ending up somewhere you don’t want to be.
Dry fasting can be dangerous and you are not a freak for breaking a fast; we call it breakfast for a reason and I’m not being glib.
Your reasons for fasting sound externally empathetic at the expense of your own health and a better balance for yourself may be available.
It’s okay to eat and it’s okay to buy things you don’t need sometimes.
We’re all learning, I don’t see any reason from your posts for you to be upset with yourself, it doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong, but it’s perfectly okay to be upset. You don’t sound like a disappointment or a stinker.
Hey, rant out.
The world is dumb and crazy.
Why do you feel that way?
