Imo, there's huge difference between travelling and exploring other places around the world, and actually settling down and becoming part of any place in the world, long term.
When it comes down to it, most places on earth are money and materialistic driven, you just don't notice it when your constantly moving and seeing the things the you want to see and experiencing the things you want to experience in each place you visit.
For example, if I travelled to Alberta (and wasn't from here, obviously), I might have this to say....
Just got back from Alberta, the people are so friendly there. I spent yesterday hiking through Banff National park, followed by a great night of camping, where a bunch of locals sang songs and drank the night away.
The day before that, I hooked up with some people who took me out mountain biking in K-country. Everyone was so care free and nature driven, and seemed to enjoy the little things in life. It was such a slow pace and happy go lucky atmosphere there, which was a huge change from (insert home country) where everyone is driven by money and materialistic things.

I am not stopping you from disagreeing with me. Every person has a different outlook on life, and what makes them happy.
Of course most places in the world are driven by money... But you know whats amazing... Finding the places and people who are not driven by money, and a materialistic life style. There are lots of people and places out there who enjoy living a simple life. I live a pretty simple life, and do some amazing things... Some is an understatement.
If you follow my blog, i'll slowly show you my beliefs of travelling and how I prefer to live.
