As someone who has spent the last couple years “slow traveling” (4 months in Stockholm, Sweden, 6 months in Amman, Jordan, the rest in NYC), I can verify that the benefits and drawbacks of this are totally accurate! Living in three places that are that different within the course of two years completely changes the way you see cultural difference. Even though I spoke Arabic before I lived in Jordan, the language became real to me in a way in never had before. You learn all of these expressions and cultural allusions that make you feel so at home in the language. Even though I never became conversationally proficient in Swedish, it’s amazing how much you learn of a language just by running errands and interacting with clerks at the grocery store and bus drivers, etc. It definitely helps you gain an incredibly deep understanding of the world and what it means to be an insider/outsider. At the same time, the honeymoon phase always wears off for me at about 2 months. At that time, there were things that were charming become a bit exhausting, but I find that by 3 months, there’s suddenly a point where everything gets easier and you really begin to feel at home! As Nathaniel mentioned, dating is really difficult, and it is often very painful for me to leave my friends and “family” and community when I go. Still, these places never leave you, and I find myself thinking about the politics, culture, festivals there as well as my friends and coworkers! My best tip for getting the most out of this is to pretend that you will spend the rest of your life in each place! Invest in friendships and the community! Invest in learning the language and the culture! And invest in yourself by really allowing yourself to experience it all! Thanks for the great video!

Like you said "pretend that you will spend the rest of your life at each place", how do you deal with attachment to the people/places there? Whenever I have to go somewhere for a month or so, I always end up wondering a lot about my previous destination. How do you deal with it when you are going to spend anywhere from 4-5 months at a single place? Would love to hear your advice :D

@@noodledoodle6029 Part of it is that I'm really good at keeping in touch with people (which I understand not everyone is good at). But, I make reminders and mark on my calendar when to reach out to people! Then, I also follow the news from that country and eat the food there and keep some of the habits I developed there. (i.e. from Sweden, I kept my habit of only eating candy on Saturdays and going on hikes, and from Jordan, I have kept many of my habits about always eating meals with people and always talking with service workers/cab drivers/people on the street) I also frequently return to the places I have gone before, and then it honestly feels like I'm returning to my family! Even places I haven't lived like Lebanon or Morocco have been wonderful to return to because I know people and now have spent upwards of 2-3 months in each total! I do have friends who are long term and one thing I've found is that the people who make the effort to stay in your life are most worth it. It's not to say that people you fall out of touch with are bad. It's just that they might not play that same role in your life anymore.

In 2019 I did slow travel in Japan, lived there for 8 months. Had a job, payed rent, learned the language, cooked for myself, got a girlfriend, the whole package. While I was there, I decided to go to other Asian countries, as Japan differs greatly from most of Asia. So I took 3 months for Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam - a month each. I also found some work there I could do (hostels, teacher, etc.), but the experience is still very different. One month is okay to see a country and also have great experiences, but you don't connect. You don't feel the country. I will return to Germany in a few weeks (still in Vietnam) and decided to study something international, as this wil give me the opportunity to do this again. And you're right, studying is for free in Germany. Even for foreigners. It's a bliss, really, haha.

Being alone while travelling is actually the best way to do it as it really allows you to truly pay attention to the language, landscape and cultural differences around you. I’m about to move to Uruguay for 5 months to be a cowgirl on a ranch in the middle of nowhere and quite frankly, the loneliness aspect is one of the things I’m most looking forward to; it allows to find a kind of serenity and inner peace, as well as deeper creativity if you’re an artist. And if that’s still not your cup of tea, remember that you make friends very easily by living in the same place for extended periods of time. Travelling in this way teaches you so much and the loneliness you might feel is hugely counterbalanced by the wisdom you gain. It can really put things in perspective to feel tiny and insignificant and marvel at the wonder of the world.

being an au pair in italy was the best decision i ever made. at the time i had practically no money but i had enough saved for a flight to rome so i just went for it. it's great if youre young and broke because not only are you given room and board but legally (in the EU at least) families have to give you an allowance each week. for me this was enough to travel to different parts of italy on weekends. also living with a family (if theyre not, yaknow, awful) is an amazing way to experience a culture. the only downside of au pairing, in my experience at least, is that it can be hard to learn the language of the country youre in since you're forced to speak your native language with the children. if you're young, have no money or concrete plans for the future, i'd say au pairing is the way to go. i just graduated college and am going to be an au pair in spain later this year :)

This sounds fantastic. And I completely get your logic. I’ve lived in four different countries in the past four years, there really are a lot of pros, but there are massive downsides too, the main one being friendships/relationships. Whenever I move to a new country, I feel like it takes a lot of effort and time to build up new connections, and it is even bigger of a challenge to keep up with friends you made in the countries where you lived previously. And not to mention romantic relationships. I find that to perfectly settle in a country, and build up a network I am satisfied with can take at least two years, and even that doesn’t alleviate the fear of loneliness if/when you return to your home country.

I've been living like this for a few years, I have lived in three European countries because I love languages and I love being immersed in different cultures. Currently, I live in Sweden and it has been a surreal experience, extremely difficult at times but so rewarding. I never thought I would be speaking fluent Swedish ever!but here I am. haha I never knew this type of travel or whatever was a thing since I am the only one I know who lives like this so seeing someone else on a similar journey, loving languages and moving around exploring and trying life in different countries makes me feel less crazy haha Best of luck to you on your adventures.

@@pumpituppowell Život je dosť náročný, neskutočná byrokracia, nájsť si tu prácu je fakt umenie. Veľa záleží ale od toho ako do krajiny prídeš, či ako študent alebo už s vyhliadnutou prácou, či dobrovoľník alebo naslepo. Na druhej strane, je tu fakt krásne, príroda nádherná a je tu taký pokoj, kľud, pohoda. Aspoň teda v menších mestách, Štokholm je šialený. A zase jazyk je fakt ľahký, aj keď Švédi radi rozprávajú anglicky, takže to chvíľu trvá kým ich presvedčíš, aby sa s tebou rozprávali po švédsky.

I've had an amazing opportunity to move to Spain (from Finland where I'm from) for eight months, straight after turning eighteen and finishing my college. I have family friends who work as missionaries here, and I worked as their children's homeschool teacher. It has been amazing, and I really look forward to having more experiences like this in the future. We did travel to multiple countries with family as I was a kid, and I always wished we could have stayed for longer, exactly for the reasons mentioned in the video. I even said to my mom I'd want to have both the tourist perspective of seeing the sights and the perspective of living in the country and be surrounded by the culture and people. I'm thankful I got to experience it with Spain, and God willing with other countries and cultures in the future. All the best for you, Nathaniel!

I don't understand why you would remove my comment asking if you are applying for Portugese citizenship based on Jewish heritage. This is alogical assumption since Portugal & Spain have laws that allow Jews whose ancestors were expelled to be granted citizenship. You shouldn't be ashamed of being Jewish (if you are).

I'm watching your videos for past few days and Kudos to your courage and determination and altogether different approach of seeing things and I've subscribed to your newsletter too. The only thing I feel you should change as early as possible is your habit of saying that you are not and expert or you're not the authority to comment on this etc. I can see where these are coming from and this is good to acknowledge stuff upfront. But no-one is an expert in anything on the internet. When nobody acknowledges this and only you do, for a shallow viewer it can seem that you are less confident than others which is completely wrong. If you stand in a bus stop where no-one maintains que, even if you and I know that maintaing the proper line is the right thing to do, if you want to catch the bus, you have to indulge yourself into the hustle. Hope I've made my point. Thanks if you read the whole thing.

What a great video. :D Sometimes I think it distills down to what you seek out of a journey. Some seeks numbers that how many countries they covered and some seeks lessons and what they make out of their small journey. :) It's just so exhausting to think of the privileges some of us have (including me) . Although I'm someone who moved to Europe for studies, making the most of out of things became my focus to think of the possibilities and satisfaction of not focusing on distance from home but more about the depth of the journey and the experience it offers.

That sounds amazing! I guess I did slow traveling before, because I worked one year as an Au Pair in Chicago and two months in London. I also volunteered as a teacher in Rio de Janeiro for two months. I‘m originally from Germany and we are lucky because we can travel almost everywhere very easily, because getting the visas is not that hard. But also: it’s scarier to travel alone as a woman. I’m blonde with blue eyes so when I was in Rio you could see from far away that I wasn’t Brazilian. That sometimes lead to uncomfortable experiences.

Growing up I lived in 6 different countries so what you are talking about makes sense. Each country I’ve lived in has influenced me on a personal level simply because I had the time/privilege to immerse myself in each place I stayed in. It had also changed my perspective on the world. In my cause though, I was a kid growing up thus I didn’t purposefully slow travel lol.

I'm about to have my year anniversary of living in Medellín Colombia. I'm living with my boyfriend's (Colombian) family in a small town about 20 minutes outside of the city. My boyfriend nor his family speak English. I cannot stress enough that it's been the most life-changing, personhood-changing, absolutely exhausting and beautiful experiences of my life. I love the point Nathaniel made about having enough time in a place to see the bad - in reality it's not about seeing "the bad" but rather getting to really "see" in general. If you talk to any person in the city they live in they have things they love and things they hate, and until you've been somewhere long enough you often just see the place as you do through KZbin or Instagram. My best advice to someone embarking on this journey is to try and avoid making friends with other foreigners. I know that may sound rude but I don't mean reject friendships if they come your way. What I mean is focus on fostering friendships with those that speak the language you want to learn, the culture you want to understand, and who are open to. sharing with you. Otherwise, you end up. making expat friends and distancing yourself away from anything that might make you uncomfortable.
