My Journey To Finding Success
Living abroad can be a daunting experience, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. For me, my journey to finding success while living abroad began when I met my wife in Cambodia. We found stability together and started building a life in this beautiful country.

Living Below The Poverty Line
I always thought that living beneath the poverty line is an occurrence that befalls others, so I decided to dive-in to poverty myself (as an experiment). The belief that poverty arises from ill fortune, bad choices, or a lack of skills is part of what drives poverty. Once someone falls into poverty and descends into destitution, the difficulty of freeing oneself from its clutches, is almost seemingly insurmountable. I resolved to directly experience poverty in the Kingdom of Wonder, the country of Cambodia.

Subtle Forms of Discrimination and Prejudice are All Too Real
I need to start by emphasizing that I absolutely love living as an expat in Baja, California, Mexico. I love it so much in fact that I invested a ton of time, energy, and money into becoming an official resident of the country. I feel like it is my second home. The vast majority of the Mexicans I have encountered and continue to encounter on a daily basis are wonderful people and ninety-nine percent of my interactions with them on a daily basis have been positive experiences. They have been nothing but respectful, kind, caring, and helpful, and have treated me exactly as they would a fellow Mexican. Yet, there are absolutely a tiny minority of people that either out of fear, prejudice, plain old hatred, or some combination of all of the above, have not. The types of discrimination and prejudice I have experienced are not overt or easily visible. There are no American flag burnings, or anti-American rallies, or no US citizens allowed zones, or anything that obvious to suggest such sentiment exists anywhere in the region where I live. In actuality, it is generally quite the opposite. Most Mexicans truly, genuinely like US citizens and want them to visit and even live in their country. They recognize our shared borders, shared values, and shared economic interests. The few that do not, practice a form of discrimination that is as subtle as it is pernicious. It is so subtle that it is barely noticeable. So subtle, in fact, that it is easy to question the reality of it, and many do. But I can tell you from personal experience it does exist, and it is real, and it takes many forms. From certain gas stations where paying for 30L never seems to quite fill your 30L tank, to resteraunts that bring tap water to your table when everyone else (Mexican) in the place gets bottled water, to the just barely audible whispers of "stupid gringo" heard after ordering coffee at a local cafe, to the sudden and baffling inability to understand basic Spanish even when you are sure what you said was said quite clearly, etc. and so on.
