I started following Kristen a couple weeks ago and have been really inspired. My children are finishing grad school and I feel this is a great time for me to travel and live abroad. In my 50s I often feel I am too old, what will I do for work? This video is inspiring and reaffirms that it’s not too late to figure it out. Hoping to be a badass nomad one day soon.
My main need to go abroad is for health care bc I've been written off as having no value even as an elite athlete from age 5 through age 41 w/ three degrees, three teacher credentials, TESL training + teaching experience, + tons of skills.
Through the escalated withholding of medical care over decades, I was made against my will into a person w/ multi complex disabilities, extremely limited mobility w/ also the non provision of prescribled palliative curative care including much needed pain management to prescribed palliative care until hospice care is needed.
There may be more due to withheld follow up diagnostic testing for 3 types of cancer.
ER to all forms of healthcare are withheld.
I'm 59yo. This obviously isn't what I want for myself.
This isn't even the culture I want to die in. I just want to be treated humanely.
I also can't afford to live in the USA. Almost everything I owned was just destroyed by 4 months of sewage back ups + floodings further harming other chronic, acute, recurrent, to endemic infections as part of disabilities also effecting my respiratory – pulmonary, + immune system, + more.
I can't afford housing in the USA + low income housing, which I've been repeatedly found qualified + approved to receive – just liike all those mentioned forms of medical care and even a specialty electric wheelchair – have also been withheld.
An ortho surgeon implanted medically contraindicated devices including where they never should be placed "as a surprise" without requesting or obtaining permission despite 100% of ppl sustaining massive disc ruptures within 5yrs.
The surgeon graduated valedictorian from a top notch undergrad + med school, so it seems to be a case of what a Canadian writer wrote about in the NY Times as being "intentional medical harm in the USA + even Canada designed to shorten the lives of ppl w/ disabilities + to force an unbearable or impossible existence upon them."
Once the massive disc ruptures occurred, that's when medical care intensively began to be withheld w/ the surgeon + my primary care provider of then 23 yrs both being the first to patient dump me within 24 hrs of each other.
I didn't know for years the extent of what the surgeon had done to me followed by even much worse including what Human Rights Watch + the United Nations have described as the targeting of 25 million ppl who are disabled in the USA, + especially the 10 million who have chronic pain, for "abuse, torture, + (attempted to successful) genocide."
Getting overseas would be the biggest challenge followed by severely impaired mobility w/ the discs in my spine compressing my dried out + easily severable spinal cord w/ widespread nerve damage w/ pain which hollers "decompression surgery necessary but not possible!!!" due to the massive disc ruptures in my back + the withholding of medical treatment which, if provided, could again result in an even more danaged spine, body, + person left in agony.
This is currently combined w/ widespread severe intractible pain at best. It has been ahonzing preventing self movement 24/7:
I've been relying on just a small portion of the full dose prescribed to me for severe intractractible pain notably prior to the massive disc ruptures.
I have a quickly dwindling supply of these expired RXs prescribed to me to help me move at all. I only have a couple weeks of a ridiculously priced place to stay which I can't exit or re-enter due to stairs. The details of how that happened are ugly as well, but at least I have a roof over my head.
The increasingly intolerable pain from an even more dangerously compressed spinal cord + unstable discs throughout my neck, back, + parts of my mid back – on top of unstable discs w/ no "cushion" between them – is difficulty to tolerate w/ the extremely insufficient expired RXs which I can't bring overseas.
It'd be a miracle to make it through the flight + customs in such pain plus w/ different non expired RXs, + then to hopefully reach humane assistance + health care.
I always loved travel, meeting ppl from all over the world within the host country,, experiencing new cultures, traditions, foods, scenery, participating in extreme to outdoor sports + activities plus walking all day exploring the beauty of a new place, having engaging conversations w/ the locals, immigrants, + other backpackers which would only happen there, as well as sharing a flat w/ other backpackers from around the world long term while across the street from the ocean + beautiful parks when I needed to slow down but hadn't been correctly diagnosed.
I know my situation is well beyond the person who is a wheelchair traveler as prospective digital nomad, but I'd really like to know if that is a reality explored on this channel yet along w/ medical tourism to regain quality of life + one's humanity. Thank you so much.
if I am eligible for a Digital Nomad visa (in any EU countries). After living there a few years Can I apply for a Permanent residence there in Greece/ Italy/ Spain leading to Citizenship ???
Nice pod. Have you come across any nomads who have kids?
I am older and I actually would love to do this.
I really love your vibe. Very detailed, very matter of fact, and you come across honest and not like a used care salesman of the lifestyle.
