'I love Indian food and women,’ says US man thinking of relocating to Delhi

A man from the United States has recently attracted attention online after sharing that he is thinking about leaving the US and moving to Delhi. In his mid-30s, he retired early from the television industry after achieving financial success. Over time, he said he grew tired of life in the US and is now exploring the idea of starting fresh in a completely new environment.

Drawn to Indian culture

He explained that he already has some exposure to Indian culture through his workplace, which employs many Indian professionals. He also shared his love for Indian food and women. Curious about how feasible it would be to live in Delhi, he asked Reddit users for advice:

“I'm a white guy in my mid-30s from the USA. I retired early from the TV industry due to a bit of good fortune, and I've grown tired of the U.S. and all its different issues. I love Indian food, Indian women, and I own a company with many Indian employees right now. Is it realistic to think I can move to Delhi and live a good life? Or will the culture reject me?”

Support and caution from Reddit users

The post quickly received mixed responses. Some users praised him for considering a bold change and said foreigners are often welcomed warmly in India.

However, many highlighted practical concerns, especially Delhi’s air quality. One user wrote:

"People already raised the AQI issue. So yeah, that is a problem. But culturally, you will definitely have acceptance. White people are put on a pedestal. You might encounter some snarky comments here and there, but mostly you will find people more than welcoming."

Another user reminded him:

“Bro, please consider Delhi's air pollution level before coming here.”

Exploring more of India

Some users suggested he should not focus only on Delhi and explore other parts of India first. One comment said:

“Just explore all parts of India, live in Delhi, visit Goa, have peaceful tea in Kerala, enjoy rain in the Northeast, have lush greenery in the mountains of Himachal, and then decide where you want to stay. Amazing food is everywhere.”
