Hey there, I’ve been living abroad for ~15 years and am offering accurate, detailed information, advice and encouragement to those interested in traveling, which is a very attainable and comfortable lifestyle. I like talking about this stuff and have plenty of free time.
tldr is get a passport, secure $500 USD in monthly income, buy a plane ticket.
Take it from there without financial or societal pressure; get access to better healthcare, great food, world wonders and innumerable other benefits.
Please ask me any questions(visas, jobs, health care) in the comments, messages, or in the travel community.
Have a good one!
How many of these countries are safe for queer people?
Considering how many comfortable queer travelers I’ve known, everywhere I’ve been across the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe(~30 countries) is safe for queer travelers.
Everywhere I’ve been has queer culture, and importantly everywhere I’ve been has comfortable queer travelers, even in conservative countries like China and Morocco.
I won’t speak to the countries i haven’t been to, and many online “safe” lists I’ve looked at when asked similar questions are impractical and focused on i-heard-onces and legal technicalities to create content rather than provide useful information.
Queer culture is more of a fact of life and history in most countries than in the US; queerness in general isn’t as spotlighted or othered from holistic culture.
As for participation, everywhere has countless groups, forums and message boards to connect with people you’re looking for.
