Very good, I like this a lot. What's stopping you from doing it?
My dream, a dream that I actually tried last year (failed in epic fashion, but hey, I tried and walked the first few steps....), would be to move to SE Asia and buy property, lets say several large homes, and rent them all out bed-by-bed to BLers (or other travellers). I would like to show people that the rest of the world isn't as corrupt as miserable as a lot of the industrial first-world, and that a calm and tranquil life is definitely possible if you have the courage to chase it. Teaching overseas is another way that people in recovery can find work if they have records. The only problem, of course, is that the countries where getting a job with a record is easy are also countries that have lots of the drugs that caused the problems in the first place. Still, though, I think that if the numbers are kept small, a peaceful commune of people working together to avoid misery and find comfort and acceptance among other thinkers/dreamers with a beautiful backdrop is definitely possible. There are parts of the world that aren't full of miserable people. I have been to them. I want to help other people realise that this is true, that the miserable, ignorant, intolerant people might have strength in numbers, but the are areas that do have strength in love. So I'd help interested people figure out the move, how to find work overseas, get set up locally, make friends, etc.
I absolutely cannot spin my wheels in jobs that make me miserable while stuck in debt slavery for years/decades. I've caused a lot of pain to the world, and I need to figure out a way to now really cause it a lot of warmth.
