Besides getting to swim for a couple times in a river and some lakes in my country, I am pretty much starting from absolute zero in this: freediving
over several years ive gained an odd amount of interest in it, to the point that i am considering going to live abroad somewhere with at least all-year round warm weather and easy access to the ocean, besides just wanting to be able to reach the floor of somewhere deep and stay there for a while without having to wear any gear beyond a mask, i am banking on the activity as a way to keep myself healthy and physically fit, naturally this would also demand that i'd eat a healthier diet overall and keep me from becoming a blob of meat, am also wondering if i could make friends with this, maybe even possibly build a close relationship with a freediver girl of a similar mind
at first i was looking into the possibility of living in the southern parts of japan, the winters there rarely reach below zero, and the whole place being an island i could travel to other sections easily to take a dip in places i havent been at, the problem though is the cost, given what jobs i am likely to get there (if any at all since i am only about to get a hs diploma and nothing else while being 19) my life would become only about work and nothing else, trying to nickel and dime even on the cheapest of rents in rural areas
right now i don't really have an idea of where to go or what i need to do, anywhere else seems to be like asking for a bad time if i am to factor in cost of living with job opportunities, maybe am making a mistake? is this just me chasing a wild temporary dream that would still end badly even if things did go right?
