Hey everybody? If you seriously feel the need to leave the country (as I do) then

[peacebuzzard]

45. I think I am too spoiled with specifics to feel comfortable in a new country for an extended time.

My diet has to be specific items only found in high-end groceries. I am spoiled. by the Fresh Market Stores, Whole Foods, local Co-ops, and even Trader Joe's. I go for primarily organics and fresh. Sure you can probably find that somewhere over there but it would be harder than just pulling into a relatively safe parking lot and not having to look around for odd characters eager to consider you a victim. I like parking spaces on asphalt and a really quick trip inside the store. I like to cook my own food and have had incidents of food poisoning and salmonella while traveling which isn't often, but I am discriminating as to where I eat and what I consume. And I do need to eat something nourishing and not question the sources. My days of experimenting with food and choosing a dinner place are gone. When I do travel I tend to pack snacks I can consume if it is a quick trip out of the country and I am not sure when/where I will eat.
