Your reply is downright silly and it seems youre someone who really doesn't travel much or know many people who do. Not every place outside the USA is automatically a totalitarian, xenophobic shithole where foreigners are so rare that they get stared at on the streets and followed by secret police.

I happen to be from Croatia and currently live in a less then touristy part of central America and guess what? While us western white folks aren't exactly saturating the local landscape, there are more than enough travelers/students/business people from the US and other Anglo countries here long term for us not really get considered that big of a deal.

Same rules apply to many other places I've been. There's lots of travel happening in the world these days and foreigners in developing countries are hardly a big wonder.

Ulbricht could have easily moved to a dozen different countries in central america, south america or eastern europe and southeast asia and comfortably stayed anonymous in any of them.
