This sounds pretty obvious until you realize our mind is probably resisting such ideas. I'd wager lots of men want a place to give them a purpose. They want a new start, be a blank slate. Maybe they think they need drop the anchor first before they start overthinking things. All this hobby BS is unromantic. What's going to be truly unromantic is asking people at the hotel what there's to do.
If you are a single man going to a country that has women that you like (and where you also have appeal to the local women) is an order of magnitude more important than any other factor. In fact as a single man you could probably go to Siberia and be happier than living in the west if you get a young, virgin, beautiful Russian girlfriend there. The awful weather, desolate Siberian landscape, difficult to learn language, ugly communist buildings, bland food, bureaucracy, lack of transportation and remoteness, etc will seem like minor inconveniences when you have the right woman by your side.
Conversely you could be in a country/city that is objectively great in terms of most other factors but if the women suck and you are lonely then the best beaches, the most delicious food, the great climate, low crime, etc will seem pretty meaningless.
Essentially for most men living in a shithole with a young, devout, beautiful virgin by your side beats being alone in paradise.
I think Aussie and I have spoken on this before, and he's right. When you really break it down and just go back to the basics, you realize that all that you do and accomplish in life has women as the goal and purpose (meaning family and legacy by extension, so it's not women in themselves, but you get it). That's why he's right, you'll be far more satisfied with a good woman and family than worrying about anything else. It's also why guys who have a lot are still minimalists, they know the purpose of all of this achievement and material is not to purely consume, but to prepare and adapt, make a future possible for yourself, a woman and family. Everything else is not only secondary, it's both transient and mostly just distraction from what life is all about. We're here because the whole deal with women and family was largely subverted by modernity. So we have to remind ourselves of this and look to the past, and to nature, and to God.
