I've been in Singapore for 12 over years already. After spending 2 consecutive summers bouncing around South East Asia, I left the US permanently at age 33. I haven't looked back.

When i left, i thought it would be more fun to "live" in asia, and "visit" the US. After about 8 years, the visiting part started to feel like a waste of time. Confronted by a limited amount of time for leisure travel, I realised there are so many other interesting places to go and see in the world. How many times do i really need to come back to the US and go to In-N-Out?

Now my life is totally over here. My wife is Singaporean and we have no interest in going to the US. The flight is long and expensive. Accommodations are overpriced & kind of suck. Everyone wants a tip.

After 12 years, the shortcomings of the US have only become more acute, but that's just me. Happy to chat if you want to hit me with a DM.

Might consider reading this book. It helped me out a lot, but there are certainly many others:
