In case of the end !

I didn't sleep enough, and I woke up hardly breathing. I don't know if the issue with the air, or the water, or maybe even the food. It could be of the smell of war not that far from the borders where I live.

I wrote a lot of content motivating others, writing about the Healthy Indifference and about Having choice !. And many posts that share my experience of not giving up even when it was so hard. But when I think about what's going on in the world, when I think about what could happen with my family and especially with my child, I just come to a conclusion, that I'll have to be much more powerful to raise and to protect my son and little family. Now when even my mother went to Algeria, and she's living with my sisters and I don't worry about her that much because I know that many people are caring about here there, I'm left alone with my family in Russia, expecting the war here anytime soon. I live so close from Ukraine and I wish I could talk about what I hear here.

Anyway, staying in Russia is not the case for me, and going back to Algeria is not an option for me. Maybe our destination will be to Mexico with fewer restrictions and more freedom. The more I learn about Mexico and the more I find people from there posting on the blockchain, the more I'm sure that maybe the best place to live in right now. Still not sure about that, but I learned about Thailand, and it seems that's not an option for me also. Still lost between choosing a country to go to, while everything could be close to the end. I have to choose as soon as possible before it's too late. I don't feel good about staying in Russia. But still have another issue to think about. That's of course money. Because I'll need a lot to travel and to be able to live onboard. I don't like to complain, but in this case I have to say that I don't have a lot. Maybe I'll have to do something about that. Maybe asking for donations is the only option I have.

It's really hard to come to this, but since I feel that I'll be a refugee of war, I may have to do so anyway. Especially if I have a child and a family to care about. Also, I think that I'll create more content from now, so I'll assure that I'll not be lost or homeless in the future. You may say, you're in crypto so long, why you don't have enough money now. I would say that if I'll sell all my crypto, I'll have about $10k and even that's not right away. I have about 2$k in bitcoin, about $500 in bitcoin cash. And the hive account that I'll have to power down in case I spend all btc and bch, that's about $8k that I can get in 13 weeks. And about $1500 in blurt. The total could be a bit more than $10k. Now looking for the prices of the travel, only flight ticket will cost me about $3500. That's what I have in bch and btc. Then I have some crypto in an exchange about $1000 that I may spend in visas, tests, and other expenses of travel. Then I'll have to start powering down. Because I don't think that the content will be enough for me to live with my family as an immigrant. I earn about $10 - $15 a day. That will be enough to rent a home. But, I'll need to pay bills, food, and other expenses.

I can't find enough time to help my wife create content, because she is taking care of our son, and she teaches Korean a little to earn a few hundreds of dollars a month. You may expect now more content from here on @cherilay. And I may create an account for my son to share his little life with you, and as I planned I hope when he'll grow up, he'll have an account already set for him with a lot of followers, and he will not have to work hard to think that much about money as I do. I hope to assure an easy life for him.

I didn't travel for a long time and that's why maybe I'm confused and afraid a bit. Since I left Algeria in 2010 to Russia, I didn't leave the country at all. I've got married here and so used to live here. Home we have everything we need for our comfort, and we may leave all this here, or sell it if we will have the chance. It's hard to leave when we worked so hard to assure that comfort. But as I learned here in the blockchain that the comfort zone should be sometimes left for better adventures.

It's hard to write this because I didn't want this to end like this. I wished we kept living here in peace. But it seems that we don't have any other choice to make. I hope we will make it and leave before it's too late !

Hey @clixmoney,

I read about your situation from time to time in your blog and wondered how you are doing now. Many of us are just a pay check away from poverty but we can still help out in small ways. I'm glad you have been able to amass some crypto savings and are able to consider the possibility of immigrating. I cannot say what is best, but if you can't stay in Russia and you know a way out then maybe you should make your move. It is going to be difficult to make a living by content creating, but you are ahead already and it is worth a shot.

Yeah, I'm still holding my breath and keeping my strength. I know that now it's the hardest time when I shouldn't think about all what's built here and to push myself to start over. I think it's worth a shot for sure. And I may find even a better way, better opportunities. Because despite knowing 4 languages. Having some blogging and vlogging skills, I couldn't make it here. Maybe somewhere there I'll be able to realize my potential and have much better life. Who knows. Fingers crossed !

Thanks a lot for your support !

Courage my friend.
we are all refugees right now, where ever we are. it is a sad reality. we do not choose it.
as much as we try to keep out of harms way, "they" bring harm to us.
do not lose hope. we are all together in this, what ever may be the outcome.

we are all refugees right now

You're so right about that, and I understand it very well without talking about the details. It's kind a world went upside down. We have to prove so many things, restricted in so many. Even now, I'm looking for prices of tickets, I see them went really crazy and adding to that, there will be needed visas, tests that cost more than $100, and a lot of power to do such brave action. Leaving the country I lived for so long is not an easy thing to do. Anyway, we all see where the world is going, and it's hard to choose the perfect place to live in. We just need to be power, very powerful. I'm sure the future will not be easy for all of us, but we should keep being connected, learning from each other and giving each other energy. That's why we should never let anyone divide us. That's maybe the most important. I see so many divisions created and maybe in the future we will see more.

This I am ready with so much sadness, I can relate to you wanting to live because of war, it is quite different from me wanting to leave SA because of my resident permit not renewed rendering me almost useless. War is just another level for fear of life, one's life is at danger all the time.

If Algeria wouldn't cost you much, is it possible you move there and then process to other country of choice from Algeria? I don't know anyone in Mexico, how about neighboring Europe? am sure you might have thought of these options its just crazy I don't know what to say plus you have family. Stay courageous for your family and keep them protected, have you thought of moving farther away from Ukrainian boarder?

I can go to Algeria, but I'm looking for more free country to live in. You know what's happening about restrictions of travel especially Europe. And I never get tested or vaccinated. Mexico seems more open to people like me. They don't even ask for a test. I'll have to do it maybe to make transit, but there, they don't ask for quarantine, and that quarantine usually cost money. For example in Thailand they ask for 5 days of quarantine in the hotel they put you in. So, about a few hundreds dollars will be lost just for this worthless quarantine, instead I could rent an apartment with that. The same about European countries. The same about US. In African countries like Algeria, they ask for the test. But Mexico seems to be the best option for me. I already know the price of the ticket, and the other thing that they allow Russians to live there for 6 months without any VISA. So, I'll save on that as well, while Visas in other countries also cost.

Okay I see why you opting for Mexico, it seems that's a better option for you now.
