  1. Ah yes, the classic "run away from your problems" strategy, now with a passport! 🌍✈️ Because apparently, the only thing more foreign than living abroad is the concept of #responsibility. 💸🤦‍♂️

  2. Six months of emotional abuse.
    Isolation. Gaslighting. A police call. Being blamed for my own trauma.
    Two months ago I wanted to prove something.
    Now I realise there’s nothing to prove.
    I’m overseas. I answer to nobody.
    I write. I dance. I adapt. I build.
    I’m not escaping.
    I’m free.

  3. I’m not here to appease a culture, a religion, or a drinking ritual.
    I’m a free agent on a visa, choosing how I live, heal, and observe.

    I’m not a tourist. I’m not involved.
    I’m creating my own culture — compassion, curiosity, creativity, and care.
    It’s just culture, bro.
    It’s what I do.

  4. Woke up at 1:30pm in Laos after a night eating sticky rice with my trans lover’s family, learning dirty Lao jokes, riding dark backroads, and questioning why I still feel guilt for resting when my life is working.

    Maybe healing isn’t discipline. Maybe it’s safety, slowness, and letting go.
    I’m not pushing anymore. I’m thriving.

  5. Relapse is isolating when your addiction isn’t something people want to talk about.
    I felt shame, guilt, and alone — until support came from the most unexpected place.
    No judgement. No pressure. Just space, trust, and humanity.
    Recovery looks different when you’re far from home — but sometimes that difference is exactly what you need.

  6. Living abroad warps reality. Every day I push through language, closed shops, strange translations, and moments that don’t quite make sense.

    I see how lucky I am — English, a strong passport, freedom — while sitting in the same small Lao restaurant by choice, not because I’m stuck.

    Laos is messy, sometimes a shithole, but I am free. And that freedom feels like everything. #LivingAbroad #LanguageBarrier #ExpatLife #Freedom #Laos #SlowLife whothefami.substack.com/p/lang

  7. France calls, but as an emigration destination Argentina makes too much sense for me to ignore. Dare I become a South American?

  8. This is a great chart that helps to explain why Europe isn't on my shortlist on where to live. Awesome place but more tourists than locals makes for a very different living experience. It's hard to feel like there is strong local culture when tourists drive the economy. #chart #expat #livingabroad #movingabroad #travel #tourism #relocation

  13. #motorcyclelife is also: waiting for the next roadtrip.

    Sometimes bikes need professional maintenance and bureaucracy is catching up, after 10 years on the road it is time for all sorts of stuff, like new pasport, bank card etc.

    Before you know you are almost settled down........ALMOST, because the next trip is in the planning 🥳
