I have traveled extensively and many countries are nice but not one of them compares to the US of America. I still think that it's the Greatest country on the face of the earth! I'm considerably older than you both and I also know that these other countries would not be as good as they are if not for the USA. You are living in an idealized state of mind and you tout how wonderful these other countries are but deny Americans the same pride in theirs. I would expect an Italian to be proud of Italy and an Irishman to love Ireland and so forth and so on etc. You also have to know two very important things about, -other countries! - First, there's a lot of their citizenry who look on the USA as a hope for people all over the world. And secondly, in two World Wars, of which we Americans had no part in starting, it was Americans who stepped up and shed their blood to save these other countries from sure destruction and lives of Communist bondage which has brought untold misery and deaths to uncountable millions.

Oh Jake,
I lived two years in Bolivia, months in Argentina, spent time in Spain, France and Mexico. My one son lived in Venezuela and my other son lived in Spain for two years. My mother was from Argentina and I have even spent time in your backyard in Tempe.
Of course there are wonderful people in all countries, and there are not so good people in all countries. If there is a criticism of US citizens, it is that they do not take advantage of what they have, and do not appreciate the country. My travels and study of history has shown me why America happened. Trust me in this, the rest of the world would not be as good as it is, if America had not happened. This country was inspired and changed the whole world.
Yes, we can destroy it if we are not careful, but abandonment is not the answer.
I hope you will revoke your citizenship and divorce yourself of all US connections and privileges and then report back in a few years. That would be interesting.

This is the third video of you I am watching; I was drawn in by your 3. 5-hour summary video that you recently put out (watched it all btw) and I couldn't agree more on how traveling is just a mind-opening experience; there are so many common points between what you said and my ideologies and the way I think of life and what I would like to do with it that you've been more than an inspiration; you said it and you did it. I feel that this is a milestone video and I wouldn't have been able to appreciate everything you've done as much without a reflective video such as this. Thanks for telling everyone to get out there and explore! Also the way you guys are only knowing each other, having been together for less than a year, lends so much genuineness and authenticity that make your whole experience just that much more special. That's some big-bang vegan awesomeness.

I think if you need to explore the world, great. But if you get tired of wandering, you are free to return to the USA. WE ARE the BEST country as far as individual freedom and opportunity in the world, all things considered. I hope you find what you are looking for. I have seen some of foreign lifestyles and I think you will find a lot of human suffering no matter where you travel. We have some of that here. I hope you spend some time in the Philippines and see how many poor people try to survive with very little resources. I think this is more representative in much of the world. Going to Amsterdam to get a taste of foreign lifestyle does not represent a cross section of our world. My opinion

Honest question: If the USA isn't that great, why do so many want to come here? Legal and illegal. I'm sure many places in the world are much better than many places in the USA, but something has the world's eye on the USA and even traveling many miles to get through our border. (not referring to the mess we have at the border now. I know that answer.

If America is so bad, why did you come here in the first place. Like others, my wife and I have lived in others countries from Europe to the Middle East. My wife is from India and quite honestly, no other country compares to the United States even with its- flaws. So, if you really don-t like it here, leave and don-t come back.

I lived in Bellingham Washington for 8 years - dark rainy - wet everywhere - depressing. After three years I couldn-t wait to get back into the sunshine. My teeth became loose - I became extremely vitamin D deficient. I hope you guys can make it up there in there In the Canadian rainforest!
