ok here is the thing, im 26, I have always wanted to live in asia and I was thinking about moving to either korea, japan, thailand, my biggest dream is to open un a restaurant in one of those places, offering fusion food from the countries I've been in, for that I have been saving...I work as a model and I make good money for that but I still need like 2 more years of saving...THE THING IS that recently I've been diagnosed with a weird degenerative disease and the doctors give me 2 to 5 years tops, I have passed my denial phase and now if its 2 or 5 I just want to make most of them, and I will love to spend my life in an asian country for good last years of my life, I wanted to get there as business person with money saved and all but now I can't think of spending my last days modeling where I live...I have visited practically all asia but never lived in so I am asking people who has if they can give me any advice on what I can do with the skills I have.
I do not have a bachelors degree but I have educated myself in other ways , so my skills...
Im a profesional model with years of experience this have gave me great time to study LOTS of stuff I like but not enough time for a career.
I speak fluently english, spanish, french
I speak intermediate Thai, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese
LANGUAGES ARE A PASSION OF MINE
I love to cook and I am great at it
I have worked on TV
I learned in schools all over the world several massage therapy techniques and I practice them professionally, like, Thai Massage, Swedish massage, acupressure, reflexology etc
I am a great dog trainer as I studied some dog psychology
I have studied some courses on nutrition and fitness training and I practice it sometimes I used to have a free boot camp training everyone who wanted to feel better but didn't had enough money to pay one I did this for free for a year.
I also work in event planning sometimes organizing everything...

I've always do everything I can as much as I can so I know a lot of stuff but nothing with a physical degree...

SO DO ANYONE THINK IS THERE ANY CHANCE FOR ME TO GET A JOB IN ONE OF THIS COUNTRIES, WHICH JOB?

Please help, I need real answers, my friends tell me that I am more than pretty enough marry a rich Asian dude and fulfill my dream, but I have never been that kind of woman and I want to do it on my own like I have done since I was 15 when I started working so please do not answer like that, real answers please...

thank you all for reading and for your responses!

I live on Jeju Island in South Korea. I am so sorry to hear of your prognosis. Let me say that medical care on this island, should you need it is not the best. Also there are no real places for fitness and nutrition is difficult. Pesticides used on most vegetables and they never heard of low fat and put sugar in everything. They could use a restaurant that is not Korean! It's a tourist island so your event planning could be useful too I would think, especially since you speak some Korean. A good massage person would do well do I'd think. It's hard to say which would be best. There are a million restaurants but not a fusion restaurant that I know of. My biggest concern about you moving here would be medical care if you needed it. Thailand (Bangkok) would be a good place for that and it's a beautiful country as you know. With all your skills I think you will be successful in whatever you choose. Sorry I can't be more specific! I will keep you in my prayers.

I just read your message. First off I wanted to see of you found an answer to your question, or a solution to your problem. I don't know which country you come from or what kind of medical science they practice where they gave your diagnosis, but it would help if you could tell me. There are new discoveries being made every day as well as cutting edge therapies being developed.
If you are suffering from a genetically related degenerative disease, you should not give up that easily. I lived throughout Asia for over a decade having been domiciled in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, British Hong Kong and China. I am moving back to Korea shortly. I am intrigued by your background and language abilities. IF you are still looking for a solution, and a place to live and an interesting position, maybe I can help. Email me if you are still looking. Raymond Lockey in care of: CaledonianBanking@yahoo.co.uk and I will have my Director General provide you with more details. We also happen to have access to some of the most advanced medical clinics in Europe and the United States. If you are willing to share more detailed information on the condition you were diagnosed with I am willing to have our medical consultants review your case to see if there is any procedures that will mitigated and slow it down, or even cure it. Please do not take hope yet, as I do not want to raise your expectations insofar as your medical condition. But I can make sure the best medical minds in the field look at you. We can always go from there. If you are interested I will direct you to my Facebook page and accept you as a Friend, which will allow you to check my background out.
Most assuredly though, I can offer you both a place to stay and an interesting position to keep you happily busy on something wonderful, meaningful and life-changing.

I have a few questions, first where do you live and which country is your health insurance coverage in? I'l get to the reason for that in a moment; two can you be more specific in the kind of degenerative disease you were diagnosed with and have you had multiple opinions to verify it?
Lastly, before you give up in acceptance of your situation and you ready and prepared to undergo experimental treatments that may be available and show promise or in others had a positive effect which western medicine may not always embrace? If I know more, we may be able to give you different advice.
