We Germans even have two distinct words for that: "Fernweh" and "Wanderlust". It's definitely a thing. I'd argue the first one matches your feelings more closely. Probably a lot of people can relate. Even for grown-ups vacation is special. You get to relax, go on an adventure, be far away from mundane every-day life, work and obligations...

It’s not impossible to do at all. Until you’re 30 there’s lots of countries that will let you have a working visa. There’s some cultural exposure program to encourage young people to travel the world and experience different cultures. I’m pretty sure Canada’s on it. I’m not interested in going to the States myself, I like how much room there is but the culture isn’t for me and I find the towns and cities dull.
I like travelling myself and I’m always looking to move somewhere else, being at home is just boring to me and I find it hard to settle.
If you want to make a life of it you need to look at getting some kind of job which will enable that kind of lifestyle like the military or some kind of diplomatic service.
I’ve lived overseas myself and you need to be aware that every country has good points and bad points. Something that seems like a quirk will be fucking annoying after a few years. It’s all good fun though.

I want to live in a fully sustainable, subterranean compound.

I had the same feelings that you did for a while. I moved and travelled different places and ultimately that made me appreciate home a lot more.

It’s good to experience the different cultures of life, society and societal structures have not always been around. We have primitive desire to explore and understand as humans

- Japan
- United Kingdom
But the United Kingdom did get a bit soured for me recently because of the whole TERF island stuff but I fell in love with the UK originally because of ancestral history and I like certain types of architecture from there
But I’m going to always prioritise Japan over the United Kingdom because I feel more connected to Japan
Yes I know Japan is just normal people living a normal life
I like the anime because it’s fun to watch but the included cultural references made me look up Japanese culture to confirm things amd I love the culture
I also have loved Japanese food for the longest time
There’s probably some things I’m forgetting
Japan feels calming and home like to me more than the country I was born in and I wish I was born in Japan but that part of the reality lottery failed me
I don’t feel connected in any way to my the country I was born in

Sure. Different areas, different countries all have their appeal.

You’re at a good age to do backpacking travel. Go explore the world.

This.
I had typed up a long-winded reply, but it wouldn’t let me post, and I didn’t copy it. But it essentially came down to this. It’s much easier in Europe than many other continents, so take advantage of it if you can. Also as someone else mentioned: working visas should be easy? To get. I don’t have experience in that, but solid idea.

You have to have pretty solid financials to afford travel (in good, enjoyable conditions)
Even though OP is german It is likely that at 21 he doesn’t have the kind of money required

But isn’t the whole point to be cheap?
