> It would have to be something I can plan. Something where I can calculate cost of learning, timeline and how to make money with it at some point. This might be the opportunity to learn a skill that isn't dependent on making money. Learn to paint, write a novel, read classic literature [1], repair motorcycles, or make music. Just a thought. You have an opportunity to step outside of financial restrictions on what to do with your time, at least for a few years. Oftentimes, developing a hobby will turn into lucrative opportunities unexpectedly. Otherwise, maybe just find a tech field you want to work in and then master it? AI, data science, crypto, etc. > Do you have personal experience with some or all of those countries? Yep, I've been to about half of them and are familiar with / have acquaintances from the other half. Depends on what you're looking for, but my personal top choices would be Belgrade, Istanbul, or somewhere in Morocco. [1] I recommend these collections: The Harvard Classics, Great Books of the Western World, St. John's Eastern Classics, and Sacred Books of the East. You could read most of these in a few years.

> Belgrade, Istanbul, or somewhere in Morocco. Especially regarding Morocco - what are your thoughts on low standard health infrastructure. would it be a good idea to pull off Morocco if you have slight health issues?

  Depends on the issue. The public health infrastructure wasn't great, but there are private clinics that seemed fine. I imagine the ones in Rabat (capital city, much more laid back than the rest of the country) are probably the best. If you are in Tangier you can easily get to Spain, too.

    But aren't you as a white guy considered and treated as some kind of walking wallet?

      Eh, it depends on where you are and how much you blend in. In some of the more touristy areas, there are a lot of people trying to sell you stuff constantly. Otherwise, it's not really an issue. Bargaining is expected in most markets, so the initial price is usually a ripoff anyway.
