China.
And before anyone starts clutching pearls, let me be very clear:
I love Chinese food.
I love Chinese culture.
I love Chinese history, art, architecture, cinema, and philosophy.
I love the sheer scale and beauty of the place.
My answer has nothing to do with the people or the culture.
It has everything to do with me.
I write bluntly.
I write politically.
I write personally.
I write about power, trauma, identity, and the state.
I write things that would absolutely violate Chinese censorship laws.
And I’m not built for self‑censorship.
Travel is supposed to expand your world, not shrink your voice.
So I can’t go anywhere my blog would get me in trouble — and China is at the top of that list.
It’s not personal.
It’s structural.
If my words are illegal there, then so am I.

Why not go, see all the cool stuff then leave and write about it. The perspective would be great and you stay safe.

Because I already have a body of work that would prevent me from going there, unfortunately.

I figured that might be the case. Have to decide based on any level of safety. Considering what I thing or say about the orange Goblin I always wonder when I fly back to the US if they re-route me someplace 🙂

My wife is from Brazil so the move was a bit easier and the fact I came many times before moving, so I knew I liked it.

Nice. I’ve gamed out living in so many different countries now. Right now I’m considering Canada because of their neurodivergent employment assistance laws. But it will change by next week. 😉
