Hello /adv/.
I know I sound like I'm 12 but I'm 29, about to hit 30. I want this world to look more like an anime. I constantly (day)dream about it and it's driving me nuts. I have a really good life: loving friends, family, good job, plenty of vacation, hobbies, and the occasional excitement. But whenever I do something "adventurous" like a vacation in an exotic country or taking up a slightly dangerous hobby, it all feels so fabricated. All I wish for is for this world to be more colorful and exciting, just like those anime worlds.
How do I solve this problem, /adv/?

I haven't even read what you wrote, I just want to say that Feng Shen Ji is fucking awesome

Start drawing/writing. It'll make your daydreaming more "real".

Drugs. Lots of drugs.

Stop being a weeb, and stop watching those cartoons, they're not doing you good.

Go backpacking in East Asia / Indochina. Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Thailand. I'm dead serious.
Here's the key, don't call it as a "vacation." Don't think about it as an "adventure" either. It's just a thing you're doing. Touch down with some supplies, do a little research so that you're not totally lost, but don't plan ANY activities. Every single thing you do, besides what little you look up ahead of time in order to keep moving and avoid dying, should be unplanned and a surprise. Keep a pretty tight budget too. No fancy hotels. Actually, no hotels, period. You either get to stay in hostels or camp the fuck out, motherfucker.
Meeting up with other travelers is OK but if you stop somewhere and you see a bunch of white college kids getting drunk then keep on walking.
If that still ends up feeling fabricated, then I dunno, there's something wrong with you and I don't know how to help. But I doubt it will.
It won't be like an anime, but it will be an adventure, and you will see and do cool shit, and by the end of it, I can promise that you'll be ready for some blissful, boring, western normality. Also you'll really be craving pizza or anything that doesn't involve fucking noodles.
And be smart, get traveler's insurance.

It will take forever to become even OK at it.

I've gone backpacking/camping in Germany/France if that counts. It felt alright at the time but once I returned home it was just another one of those nice-ish memories in my head. Will asian countries make a difference?

How would that help?
