Wow, this is such a really interesting take, it’s so nice to read an article about someone’s experience in America that isn’t American, because I took all of that for granted. I became an entrepreneur at 18 years old and didn’t realize that wasn’t normal.

Thank you Kimberly! I think we all do that... it usually takes stepping away, or hearing someone else's views to realized what we have/had (and usually how good it is - partly at least).
That's why I love traveling. I complained about France, until I left and realized there are A LOT of good things there (that French people don't see, so they go on strike 🤣).
No worries about the time it takes to respond, there are some weeks where I have to put an entire day aside to catch up...
Yeah, I agree with this as well. We don't know what we don't have, it must be experienced first.
I'm glad you were able to see all the good things about France!!! I have family who lives there and they love it.
It's true though, there's good and bad with most places. I don't miss the U.S. and I never want to move back but I do acknowledge the good I've seen and your article helped me see even more!
It's funny because I lived in the US from 2017 to 2021, so with both administration. And the truth is: in my little bubble - and as someone with many privileges (white straight man, making good money back then)... my experience was the same... the politics didn't influence my life at all.
However I admit, I don't feel comfortable going at the moment (when you hear the horror stories at airports 🤯).
I mean, joke aside, but very regular people with nothing shady going on are being rejected, if not worse. I always find it stressful getting into the country anyway... but this is not worth the risk - especially as a digital nomad working online where the line between work/vacation/normal life is very blurry.
I can relate to many of the things you mentioned here (including aspects we also discussed in our Substack Live last week 🔥). But first and foremost, I agree that here in the U.S., there's a general vibe of empowerment and eagerness to build or reinvent yourself that’s hard to find in Europe! Great article!

😮💨 I'm so glad you're saying that, because with the current climate about the US, I was worried people would take that the wrong way and politicize it!
You've said it best, the general vibe to build is so positive! It's culturally very different, but I think this is also present in Asia... It's just harder for me to sense though because of the language and cultural barrier.

I see what you mean.

Yeah don't go! There's a high possibility that you could end up in an El Salvadorian prison!!! 🤬🤬🤬
