So now I'm pretty deadset on this (no pun intended). There's really no progression for me from here and I've come to the conclusion that I'll be incapable of taking care of my family anyways so the "selfishness" angle is out the window.
Forgetting about debt, I have $23K CAD in the bank which is roughly $17K USD. I live in Montreal, have a valid driver's license (albeit no car), and will be eventually renewing my passport. I would love to travel literally any-freaking-where, splurge, lose my virginity (at the tender age of 31), and then arrive back to hang myself with my 2-inch nylon rope that I bought years back.
Sincere advice: where should that cash be spent? American trip is too ordinary (no offense) and I'd rather be somewhere totally out of my element. Europe is way too freaking expensive so I was thinking South America like Columbia would be chill but the language barrier would be ridiculous. My best bet is on the Philippines because 1) English is a predominant second language and 2) it's a heck of a lot cheaper than Thailand. Then again, I've also heard that it can be a rough place so I don't necessarily want my last two or so weeks on Earth to be unpleasant.
I just want to be excited about something. The idea of spending my last days inert just irks. Shitty existence or not, I want to milk whatever worth I have and experience wonders to the best of my capabilities.
Would anyone have any suggestions as to where to travel or how to spend my cash before I go?
