There are jarring contrasts that go too far. You very well could wind up socially scorned and unwelcome in many places. So you’ve moved away from everyone you know and the people near you inherently don’t welcome you. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Do your homework - visit a place on extended vacation first. Do yourself the favor of being open to vast differences as well. I’ve met people who just discard where I live is the way it is as out of date or backwards, etc, instead of dignifying the culture and history that proceeded them. We’re talking people who grew up one state away.

This is not true. Maybe you could argue a few places are like this, but not many. For the most part, from personal experience, especially if you are a Westener, you will be welcome throughout the world.

Hence the suggestion to vacation before making a move...

What I'm saying is that in my opinion, this worry you have is overblown.
