I'm moving South America up on the travel list, if I ever get to again, to see how it is down there. Somewhere totally off the radar and with somewhat easy ability to move as perhaps a semi-retiree. Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, etc. I've not actually visited these places so I may be nuts, but I also know that I can handle a lot of downside to not be a caged animal.

I've got enough professional value to get a looking-for-work visa in at least a few of central Europe that offer that, but I just can't see uprooting what I have now to do so. I could even get by in a more screwed up politically place like Finland. The people there are actually quite easygoing and fun and nothing like American wokeists. It's also hard to move to and as a native English speaker I'd be stuck in software development probably.

In reality, I probably end up in the woods somewhere. Maybe I move back to Arkansas and get some land in the mountains in the west part of the state. No one will bother you there. I've also got some real estate investment in Arkansas already that I hope is allowed (you know landlords are evil and all). It's crazy, because I never thought I'd consider moving back, but the world has changed a lot in 12 months.

Still, this is all just back-burner thoughts right now, my current situation pisses me off at times, but it's one of those things about making sure the grass is actually greener.
