if anyone has any questions about getting out of the country, ask away.
I'm a long-term traveler.
What countries do you recommend that have the easiest visa requirements?
at this point, visas are very easy to get in general, but Thailand is still one of the easiest and is one of the friendliest and most affordable countries around.
if you're a US citizen, you have visa-free travel in Thailand for 60 days.
if you need a visa, go to the evisa website, thaievisa.go.th, fill out the form, pay the fee, they'll email you the visa in a couple days.
I usually recommend Thailand or somewhere in Southeast Asia as a first destination. good food, great healthcare, cheap living, great people, beautiful environment, and they're very used to travelers so there are local and expat support systems nationwide.
another nice thing about Southeast asia is that there are tons of other friendly places close by.
it's about as easy to live there as anywhere else, but the support systems and the country being very used to travelers might make first time travelers more comfortable.
oh PS thailand has a lot a lot of really good all you can eat buffets for 3 to 10 dollars per person.
Many European countries allow you to visit a maximum of 90 days within a 180 day period, so if you're rich enough, you can technically live there half your life.
yup, it's called the Schengen area:

you do not have to be rich to live in Europe, Europe is much cheaper than the states, especially in the situation you're describing as a long-term traveler.
