If it's an auspicious place, a better one than my country the cultural differences wouldn't matter that much. I've always felt drawn away from my home city. It's just that I haven't found that place that calls me, yet.
I think you are living in la-la land but of course the choice is yours and the life is yours.
You need to continue with your life and the knowing of where you need to go will grab you when it needs to. You cannot rush the Universe as it has its own timing. Often we (I do too) want to think we can jump to the meaty bit of life, but it is the journey which is important not the destination. Asking everyone around you, as I did too, is not the answer. Trust and wait and everything will be revealed.
I did the same thing when I was 48 after a series of life disasters, but I told myself it was to go and learn the language in that country I had been attracted to. So I signed up and took the plunge "for a year" as I told my family (mum & dad family, not wife & kids family). A long time later I am still here.
There is a reason why most races stick to their own cultures when looking for relationships, there is a inbuilt reason for a natural distrust of other races too and there is a reason why merchants of old were always on the move because that way they did not have to deal with the huge differences in customs and practices. They just sold their goods and rode out as quick as they could.

LOL, OH MY! That is the pot calling the kettle black.
Mysticism: "belief characterized by self-delusion or dreamy confusion of thought, especially when based on the assumption of occult qualities or mysterious agencies.
In high school and college I played around with Tarot cards and the I Ching. I considered these as suggestive, but certainly not anything absolute. If you have no real preference yourself, these things might give you an idea about which way to go, but you can take that or leave it.
At one point I realized this stuff was nothing but mysticism -- self-delusion. There are no "omens." You're the one who makes these decisions, not some external magical "force."
I have a beaded Masai choker that I got from a Masai warrior in Kenya. It is said to protect its wearer. What a nice thought! Put this on and I'm protected! Well, that's all it is -- a nice thought. It has no intrinsic power beyond, perhaps, a placebo effect.
What?? You think all the occult Alistaire Crowleys of the world, all the religious gurus, the shamans, the witch doctors throughout time have been deceiving themselves??
I think it is you who are self-deluded, but I do agree that we are the ones who are the driving creative force in our lives. If you look at the tools of the mystic as just that - tools, then the picture becomes clearer. Do you honestly believe science knows the totality of our environment and what is going on? This is where you are self-deluded because there is so much more to discover, we dont know half of it yet.
LOL, OH MY! That is the pot calling the kettle black.
The trouble is - we both think we have life worked out. You with your science and me with my..strange views. Who is correct? One day when it is our time we will (possibly) find out and it wont be easy and will be very messy. Humans have a habit of getting entrenched with their view of life and sticking to it, not wanting it to change and to prove themselves wrong in their beliefs. However, if you believe there is blackness and nothingness after death of the physical, I doubt you will find out.
I don't agree it's all placebo or self-induced.
How can a random lady know the names of my then-unmet friends? She told me "I see you having friends whose names start with A and M" and went on to describe them. I was like "Nope". I met them almost a year later and yes, the descriptions match. She also described the city I met them in and also my then-future boss.
I didn't go out of my way looking for people with those names, they just happened to enter my life like that. Me and M met trough Facebook and we both met A on a trip I randomly signed up for (I didn't even know M would be there!).

Yeah, I agree I shouldn't rush. That said, no one is going to invite me for a job if I don't apply. But I for sure ain't going to learn 5+ languages in advance.
I actually never felt like belonging to the Balkans. I mean just for 10 months abroad I landed more dates and made more friends than in my whole life (20+) years in my home land.
We used a Ouija board to ask my recently deceased father for relocation suggestions.
He replied, "vgvgvgvg" (or maybe "gvgvgvgv").
Verde Gulch?
Grass Valley?
We've relocated three times since then, but have never found a place that fits those suggestions. I wonder if he meant Fiji; that would be his kind of joke.
^it's a hit or miss and I highly doubt some of the suggestions as I've never felt drawn to them. I wouldn't go to a place I've never felt drawn just because Astrology says it's all that. No, I can't live in deserts and islands will get suffocating fast. I wish there was a Vedic Astrocartography map maybe Vedic astrology is better than Western one.
So many people want the answers to be provided for them. I was once a Spiritualist and went to loads of readings, loads of psychic fairs, loads of courses on this and that and at each place there were people doing readings you could have if you wanted. I was searching for answers too in those days.
