Went to Spain for a brief holiday in 1996.  Backpack, no contacts.  Never got back home again.

Honestly, idk if I'd repeat it.  Being a foreigner, being an out of towner, etc, is a hard slog sometimes.  And if you're outside your country it's never over.

I have, thinking the grass is greener on the other side only to be disappointed and realizing there's no place like home. If you make a move it better be for the right reason such as better job opportunities, affordable housing, and to better your living situation.

Yes and it was NYC.  I had a job and found a roommate but knew no-one.  I made friends through work, my roommate, and the gym but there were some lonely times for sure.  I was there during a pretty wild time in NY and I have memories that will stay with me forever.

I eventually met my wife (now ex) we were together many years and had a daughter.

Why Charlotte?

Its got everything. I'm into outdoor shit and it offers me it all. 2 hrs from the mountains, 2 hours from the ocean. Awesome fishing, roads for motorcycling, snow in the mountains for snowboarding, awesome hiking and rock climbing. Taxes are cheap. Plus southern sluts with huge tits everywhere.

I have.  Ive hitchhiked across country twice, rode freight trains to who knows where twice.
Ive also done about every type of work that I was ever interested in as a child or later as an adult.
joined the navy so I could discover whether pussy with a slant in this direction /  was better than pussy slanted like this \
that's just some of my adventures.  Ive picked up and moved off many many times.  sometimes out of necessity other times because I live life for myself on my terms.

on the other hand,
I moved from lima ohio to  downtown dayton in july.  but that was only after very careful consideration that even involved google earth  so as to see the area before the move. 
I'll prolly die here.  the only thing that would make me move again is palm trees and the ocean.

We are animals who adapt to their environment after we re forced to stay there for a while. Sometimes it's about adapting or dying, so people "choose" to adapt cause they cant flee. But yeah, people are the same on the whole fucking planet and so are the rules of the game; kill or get killed. You re better off dominating than being dominated. But if you dominate the evil way, it will bite you in the ass. People stop moving when they dont have the cash /energy/time anymore, as simple as that.

Wiggs, unless you have some money saved up (8-12 months of living expenses)  I would not advise it.

with that said, you are young, smart and full of energy so if you really want to then I say go for it. Do some job research before actually moving to a place. Also, why not think about other countries?

I went to Thailand 5 years ago with 300 euros to my name. No contacts there. I knew the country a bit from previous holiday.

I'm still there.

Found a job, not quite legal, after 3 days. Once I had enough money I found a proper job and now I run my own business.

I wouldn't advise it unless you can connect with people easily and have some sort of skill. It can be just being very good at talking to people or some "proper" pro skill.

Contrary to popular believe, my life doesn't revolve around that plant. It's time for me to find a nice Hebrew woman, ensure her head is in the right place and ensure mine will continue to be, and create a family. It's that time.

You have some huge balls bro. I always wondered what that would be like. It's all or nothing at that point. I'd like to hear some of your stories sometime if you're willing to share.

No, I've been done with white women for a year. It's not meant to be. I'm sticking with my various shades of chocolate women from here on out. There's plenty to pick from and alot of my competition is incarcerated.

It was actually super easy but again I could have been busted by some police the first week.

It takes a certain kind of person to do that. I don't know you so I can't say if it is for you or not.

But most people realize that they are capable of many things once they are thrown in the water...

Ok, well I can't really speak to that exact scenario.  :D  Money won't be a problem if you're willing to do any shit job for pennies, be poor as fuck, and share accomodation.  I have.  I doubt you'll starve to death.  I didn't, quite.

If you're really serious then I'd like to submit the following for your consideration:  I've been around my people all my life and conclude that most of them are total crap.  You may come to find the same with your own folk.  Idk if a simple racial demographic is enough to justify more than a simple vacation.  A bit of recon, eh?

On the other hand, sometimes a gut is enough to go with.  If it turns out you're wrong then you can simply move along (assuming everything you have is on your back).

In the long run, I have a B.A. in Management and 10 years of U.S. Air Force experience and zero criminal record. I have two years left of the GI bill I could use to get my Masters or any other education if needed. So I should have no problem getting a job right...ideally speaking. lol

In the short run, Putting together around 20gs sounds like a great idea to start off with. debt free, 20gs and move to a new place and start over.

I've left places where I was "dominating" just out of boredom, wanting something like better weather, or different night clubs to go to lol. There are subtle differences in people from places I've lived/traveled in though...I know now that at the end of the day it doesn't matter as long as you're doing well for yourself (dominating lol). But when you're young, single, and ignorant you tend not to make the best decisions in life for your future...

Good post. I don't know what I'm expecting other than alot of black people. If it sucked, I'd have no problem leaving and wouldn't put myself in a situation where I'd have to stay (i.e. women and children) I gotta feeling I'll like it though. I'm not the kinda guy that wants the best of everything. I don't care really. At the same time, I have no interest in being a broke mofo. So I'll use my skills, education and experience to grind out a nice little savings to start something nice.

I tend to agree with this except for the f money part. I think things would be much better if I saved up that 20gs and start that way. That's not difficult to do. I think this is what I'll probably do. Unless I get a job offer first.

Are you still there illegally, or do you have a visa?

What type of visa and how easy was it to get?'

How long did you stay until you applied for a visa, tourists can only stay for a month or two so what happened when you overstayed and then tried to get a visa from the authorities?

I'm thinking Atlanta. I want to live in a chocolate city. I've never lived in a city of majority Hebrews before. Atlanta is the black Mecca of the USA so this is where my eyes are set. This is a very serious consideration. I have no wife or children so it's all on me.
Atlanta sucks I lived there a year hated every minute of it and yes Charlotte is much better.

Are you still there illegally, or do you have a visa?

What type of visa and how easy was it to get?'

How long did you stay until you applied for a visa, tourists can only stay for a month or two so what happened when you overstayed and then tried to get a visa from the authorities?



I'm 100% legal. Work permit and it was easy to get.

I came in with a 3 months renewable to up to 6 months. I never overstayed.

Any of you ever made an move like that planned or unplanned? I'm talking single fellas with no anchors.
all thru out my 20's i was basically packing and moving to different cities, usually with no job, no place to stay
i figured once i got there i would find something.....always did...always worked front desk of gyms or hotels
a couple of times i caught greyhound from chicago to los angeles in the dead of the winter with only $60 dollars
in cash, at the rest stops i could not buy anything or else i would be broke....luckily right up the street from
lax airport is a youth hostel that allowed me to work the front desk and stay in the hotel part and it was deducted
from my check...did that for maybe 12 to 14 years but once you hit your 30's something just happens and you want
to be more settled at least for me anyway...now i have been in NYC for 12years moved here at 32....got a good job,
with benefits and im in the union....so i cant complain...i say if your going to do it do it late teens to early to middle 30's
and just go with the flow for employment and a place to live....aaaaaah the fun i had  :)

I have, thinking the grass is greener on the other side only to be disappointed and realizing there's no place like home. If you make a move it better be for the right reason such as better job opportunities, affordable housing, and to better your living situation.

Spot on. People think a new city is a fresh start and all but it will be the same but worse because you are a. Outsider and will be very lonely. Wherever you go you are still the same person with the same problems. Now like you said, moving to a new place because of a job or other good reason yeah that's cool.

Very wise. Wiggs, write down the things you really need to be happy. Then find a city you want to live in.
Go ASAP and use your brain to survive. That is, if you survive the coming comet.
People can't change so you get more of the same no matter where you go.

I once packed up and moved hundreds of miles away to a small country town, started a small gym, absolutely hated my life there so after a year I moved back to the familiar surroundings of my suburban stomping grounds.  I regret moving, it was a painful experience, then again I had no support system where I moved, so it made it hard.

truthfully, no.  moved for educational/professional purposes not just to pack up and move ...

I did last spring. It was the best decision I ever made.

I went by train which is now my preferred way to travel. I moved in with family for the first two months until I found my own place. Got a job within 3 weeks through a friend.  

It went well for me, granted the weather here is far better than what I'm use too. I already had friend here, I'm able to meet friends through nerd groups(something you can't do in smaller places)  And a primary interest of mine(culture) is ever present in toronto.
 
The only regret I have is not doing it sooner but I guess that's a catch 22, as I wouldn't appreciate things so much if I was all that much younger.

I recommend it but don't play it safe and don't bring old vices with you. If your not willing to grow and change it won't go well.


EDIT: don't do a move that doesn't make sense on paper, going to a place because it sounds nice is a bad idea.

4 times that last 12 years.

Once drove from central valley California to Kansas in a small rental car, all in one trip without stopping, just slept in the car once on the side of the road for a few minutes to not have an accident. I left all useless cruds and high rent behind. They more than doubled the rent on the house I lived in to over $800 so I had no choice. Fucker even said I had to stay until I had found them a new tenant, so I just left without notice. California went severely downhill around 2005. I never lived where I have family or relatives, so I have nothing to keep me from moving whenever.

I turned 34 in July. My age isn't a problem.

It's a huge problem. If you were in your early 20s, I'd say ok. But at 34?

What qualifications do you have? Going abroads/to a different area cause you were headhuntered as a top manager or diplomat with a penthouse ready waiting for you is smth entirely different than trying to get a shitty manual job and live in a f*ing one-room flat and go binge-drinking with loser co-workers at night.

You'd probably come off best getting back in the army, there at least you know where your place is and don't have to worry about the outside world. It comes across to me that you were in the army, a f*ing parallel universe, for way too long and now you're unable to find your place in the real world and noone gives a shit about you.

Wait a minute: Dude, you're John Rambo. Congrats for that. Too bad in real life guys like you are the losers, not the heroes like on the screen.

Great advice. so 8-12 months living expenses. Are we talking rent, utilities, groceries?
MY
As much as you can save up.

8 months of rent would be great but that is dependent on where you are moving to.

Atlanta is OK from a social/meeting women stand point but I am not sure about the job market. But again someone as savvy as you should have no issues making your way.  Spend some time researching the job market.

Try getting a job in another country, move to Europe or China.

Contrary to popular believe, my life doesn't revolve around that plant. It's time for me to find a nice Hebrew woman, ensure her head is in the right place and ensure mine will continue to be, and create a family. It's that time.

Australia's Northern Territory would be absolutely perfect location for you:
-hips of nice 'Hebrews' around ,Mr.Obama can confirm that
-nice warm climate
-cops a very nice too, they collect drunken 'Hebrews' & live them outside Darwin to sleep of
-you don't need to carry any ID's

lol, there s just a little problem tho, an "hebrew" or any other kind of woman who has her head in the right place would never ever even give you the time of the day. You have nothing to offer to anyone. You ll have to develop something to offer first to be attractive again.

I lived in a pretty shitty neighborhood growing up and in the middle of my sixteenth year of life I packed by bags and moved into an apartment with my older brother a couple hours away.  Best decision I ever made.  I lived as an adult, finished school and worked.

You've been mentioning booty rather a lot recently. Are you cruising for some e-pussy? Be warned: your e-blue balls will swell to the size of plums and your e-heart strings will be tugged to and fro until the inevitable e-breakup occurs as whispers of inert nitrogen meeting silicone grow ever louder.
