    overall, it seems to be getting easier to travel, with longer-term visas being offered and most visas offered through online applications.

    there are more routes for legal permanent residency in countries as well these days, although i prefer itinerance.

    I think you’re talking about permanent residency, which is inherently more bother than living somewhere else or traveling full-time.

      Yes indeed, and it might still be OK, but the world moving to the right and the right being so against immigration I forse a future where permanent residency is not that easy anymore. Especially if you’re not like me a white fairly well educated male from Europe. People like me seem to have huge privileges in many the parts of the world.

        you seem to be extrapolating far-off tangential after-effects of a vague dystopian future not based on the current state of travel.

        yes, maybe someday everything will be worse.

        but then, maybe someday everything will be better.

        as for right now, travel is objectively easier for everybody than it has been in a very long time, maybe ever.

        We can start with that.
