If I had a 1000 euros and a ticket to South America. Let's say to my favourite country, Colombia.
If I would choose to leave everything behind and simply create a new life. Would that be possible? What would happen? What would be my life expectancy?

About a week?  It looks like you need lot's of money to live there, quite expensive. |

Question is what would you roll up...once you ran out of twenties?

The question is actually. What would happen when the money runs out when there?
Am I and are we all too afraid to take steps to the unknown simply because we are too afraid for what could happen?

Oilinki you would survive....and you would likely be forced to integrate far more....would you have fun?
That depends upon your luck....and your abilities.

I'm thinking my own existence and generally being philosophical about life itself. Nothing to be worried about. I do this all the time.
Why we do what we do, why don't we live in a different ways? What are our restrictions and why? How to live a full life, without being a puppet? Yada, yada, yada...

How about heading home for a while? I really enjoy actual civilization, tired of all that wild west crap. |

Its a good way to meet people you won't come into contact with as a tourist...or even long time traveller to a country. Once impoverished you would have to start from the bottom....a humbling experience. |

If we think that in another way. There is a fully new life waiting for all of us, just a one day travel away. I think that is a world opening idea. Think about it. One day you say "fcuk it" and the next day you have a whole new life. |

I think if you travel around a lot as I do you become used to this lifestyle....I thoroughly enjoy it....but no need for the poverty angle in my case. Maybe Colombia is extreme....try Venezuala first! |

One day you say "fcuk it" and the next day you have a whole new life. . . . or a serious problem on your hands. This sort of thing takes money regardless. There's also visas and immigration and all that government stuff, even in shitholes like Columbia. I say <duck> it everyday and then wake up having forgotten I'd said <duck> it the day before. |

I doubt you'll find the answers in cartel controlled Columbia old boy. How about heading home for a while? I really enjoy actual civilization, tired of all that wild west crap. I was actually protected by the mini cartel, when I was there living in a small village. It was kind of fun. I was professor de buseo, who was not to be hassled with. I did not know that before there was an small incident. I think the civiliaztion as I think about it, no longer exist even in my own country. There are plenty of clever people, but the society is getting more and more socialist, or communist. Not a place for me. One thing I worry is money. All the time. That is stupid, but that is also what I do. What would happen to a person, if he would not have any money left? |
