I predict that Canada, the USA, and the UK will lose most of their visa-free access in the next 10 years.
You will lose all your travel mobility.
Why?
Mass migration, ironically.
When these treaties were negotiated, Canada/USA/UK was a different place demographically.

Being Canadian 🇨🇦
- Half your income goes to taxes.
- Very high cost of living.
- Home ownership out of reach.
- you have an itch feeling that there's more to life than this.
In Canada it doesn't really feel like your living.
Just getting by.

Pro remote work tip:
NEVER tell ANYONE at your company that you are outside the United States. Even for vacation. Even if they're "cool with it".
Because someday they might not be "cool with it" anymore.

Asia is not livable.
Here's why:

In Europe there is no energy. No real partying. No music. No dance. No laughter..
Europe is a very solemn, straight-faced, and boring place.
Latin America may be "unsafe", but it's NOT a sad slow boring life. It's a life worth living and a life where you finally feel alive.
