My son spent a month in Vietnam. He loved it. He met locals and spent days with them ... stayed in simple lodgings ... everyone was quite welcoming and he had a great time. Very cheap.

How about Bulgaria?
I have a friend who was born and raised there. Then she came to the US 22 years ago and settled in the San Francisco east bay area of California, bought a house, paid for it in 15 years with dog grooming wages. Two years ago she decided to go back for an extended visit. Packed up her house and rented it out for a year. Enjoyed staying mostly in the capital city of Sophia, seeing old friends and traveling around to their national parks and monuments, sent lots of very lovely nature and culture pictures. Then decided California is still better and returned! She's been back a year now, and says she feels she made the right decision to come back but she loves to vacation in Bulgaria!
We recently went to Oaxaca, Mexico. Would be interesting to get to the Pacific coast there and enjoy it because it still is pretty much off the general tourist group list. Oaxaca is a beautiful city that is very walkable, friendly, ultimate in foodie paradise, buses to other small towns with markets and festivals.
He didn't complain about getting the visa - I assume it wasnt a problem.

In other words, it doesn’t in the least bit resemble capitalism and has more than a coincidental similarity to socialism. You are beholden to government for most of your productive years. And as long as you work for the government...it’s all good. But maybe you lose your full time job and the economy goes to crap and we go to war with some 3rd world country with rogue nukes and the government runs out of volunteers to fight for Uncle Sam. You think maybe that debt might be held against you are perhaps in exchange for 2 years of service....they might just forgive you again? Just one example but a scary one. Canada might even reject you then.
We're a mixed economy -- we have lots of capitalism and a small chunk of socialism. A little more socialism would be nice.
Yes, I am beholden to the gubmint. As you were in many senses and as you still are.
Others are beholden to corporations.
Pick your master.
Either way, I would rather pay this "fine" than pay the whole amount.
And to be honest with myself, I am not especially good at anything (except catching fish and scribbling some words on papers). So even if I did not have this debt, I would likely work for the gubmint anyway, though perhaps in a different capacity.
Also: Your vision of the future seems a bit far fetched. Maybe it is time to write that novel you have always wanted to write.
