Well, I had to leave my home country due to its dogshit government. I'd been planning it since 13-14 y.o. because it was very much obvious the country was going in a very wrong direction. However, I didn't have time to prepare myself because of covid and a lot of other troubles. So, I have to live wherever I can legally go. Some people call it being a digital nomad (I hate it). I'm considering the US as a place to move to but I dunno, let's see.

I’d steer clear from the US for a while as from what i‘ve seen they’re giving every foreigner, including ones from countries they’re allied with, a reallyyyyy hard time even just for going on a holiday – eg. an aussie woman was jailed and deported from the US when trying to simply visit her husband (a US citizen). In any case it could be good to look at a wide range of options

@BLESS You know, the funny and sad thing is that back in my home country is has been the same for years. So, welcome to the club, US. Also, the same thing can happen in any other country now because the world is kinda going insane at the moment. It doesn't matter what country to go to, it still sucks to be an immigrant. The good thing is that having some professional achievements helps and the US is actually one of the better countries to go to through this track. I've been exploring various options for a few years already and, sorry to say, the US is still not the worst or the most complicated.

@GRAPE if you read the news, you realize that the only way is to live in space apparently. anyway, the states have the chance for a better future. it seems that my home country's karma is to be in turmoil forever as per its history. there's never been a good time

@GRAPE that may be true but this country is becoming more hostile towards immigrants by the day.. not just South Americans but from every country. There are worse places to try to go to but I still wouldn’t suggest trying to move here right now

@GRAPE photography? You are probably right but said countries, especially the US, are super saturated with photographers anyways.. even assuming you have a lot of experience you aren’t going to be able to walk into a job without knowing someone first unfortunately. Freelancing especially is super hard and I’m admirable of people who do that sort of thing. Your best bet for networking isn’t a physical location though, it is 100% online

I currently live in my country (Zimbabwe) and I did high school here but I spent most of my childhood and university days in a handful of other countries.

When I was 19 I made a friend on Kik. He was just older than me, from Melbourne, Australia. He was Aboriginal, and a musician, and he became my close friend. Ever since then Australia has been in the back of my mind, something that I wanted to explore and experience. A curiosity that felt close at hand, within my grasp. Over the years I've learned bits and pieces of the culture over the years, and I've always wanted to visit. Well. Now I am. I bought a visa in September, and now, November 16th, 2024 I'm here in Brisbane.

It's some sub-brand of Marks&Spencer that existed in the 1990s. I thrifted it under $8 because the thrift store had a sale huh. I'm proud of all my thrift finds but I don't have pics of all of them.

There are a lot of movies that have impacted me in this or that way. I used to spend days in a movie theatre with my elder sister. I'm naming 2, though. The Tenenbaums helped me to accept that my family was imperfect. The original Mulan helped me to be much less hesitant about not following the stereotypes of what a woman should be.
