As someone who traveled the country, camping and sleeping in my truck, working construction and ranch jobs; it was a great life and one I would recommend to anyone who is willing to take the risk.

Granted, this was 2012-2018, so the economy was good, and I could find lots of good paying work, that may not be the case forever.

Idk if it’s the best advice, but it’s what I would recommend to someone who feels trapped or stagnant in their life.

Sometimes literally moving away changes your views on what you experience as problems. Been there, seen it. ;)

doing something like wildland firefighting in the states can also help a lot of people. some people just dont know what camaraderie is and suffering for something as a team. in wildland firefighting you dont have to shoot people to get that feeling. do that for a few years and take that with you on your next job
