…but seriously, I’ve been learning French for almost four years now (a) in order to widen my options beyond the Anglosphere in general, and (b) because a whole bunch of tropical islands are part of France (including Tahiti) and I’d like to get a liveaboard sailboat and visit some of them.
I figure having a specific destination planned becomes less important if you’re taking your home with you. It’s really being able to get out before the shit hits the fan that’s the issue, and not having to worry about finding a job willing to sponsor a work visa in order to settle in a particular place seems like it would make that easier.
Worst-case scenario, if the boat’s cheap enough your living expenses can be low enough to support yourself bouncing around from port to port working odd jobs.
