Either in regards to the current political situation, or for other reasons. What drew you to the idea of living in another country? Do you think whatever benefits it offers are really worth it, or is the grass just greener on the other side of the fence?
I’d leave in a heartbeat. I wanted to leave the US well before all this madness. I know Italian pretty well and a little Spanish, so I was considering moving to a country that speaks either. I don’t really have any professional qualifications though, so I kinda worry I’d just be a poor foreigner wherever I went.
My wife and I have dreamed of possibly moving to Australia.
So far things are well enough in my part of the US that I haven't felt the need to seriously consider it. If I did, I'd probably end up in Canada. Would rather there than Mexico because I don't speak Spanish. If I did need to escape, I'd rather remain on continent at first because I think it'd be easier to escape to somewhere like Canada and then hop on a plane to Europe, if needed.
I want to move to Germany but I don't see it happening anytime soon
It was always my intention to retire overseas. Thought my wife was onboard until retirement. She suddenly told me she wanted to stay. She wanted to be near family. I sure hope this doesn't turn into one of those, waited too long scenarios.
We hadn't solidified where. We have both lived overseas earlier in life. I have family in Germany and could probably get German citizenship so that seemed like an obvious choice. Scandinavia seems to have the best countries, but it's way too cold for me. We also seriously considered Equador. I prefer Europe and once you're in, I think movement within the EU is easy.
The problem seems to be that fascism is on the rise everywhere. I guess we'll just stay here and hope to stay under the radar. It's a real shame, it was a great place to grow up.
Hey, i have "reduced motion" setting on! And if anyone with epilepsy sees that...
Canada cause it's close. Netherlands cause of DAFT and bike infrastructure would be so nice
No country will take me. I have no skills.
I’m planning on moving to Uruguay where I can live on half my salary and half my hours and not have to worry about Burgerland anymore.
What drew me to moving out of the country was the idea of not investing in a country when I don’t think it’s worth the investment.
A few benefits I’m looking forward to is a more close-knit community, cheap healthcare, and free college.
I was born and raised here, but I've always had an affinity for my grandfather's ancestry in the UK.
I intend to stay here and fight for my homeland, but if things are at an obviously insurmountable point and I have to fall back, I wouldn't mind my grandfather's homeland.
I think the UK is right behind us. You might have to keep moving.
I've looked into it deeply enough to realize that I probably can't afford it.
So I contribute in ways that I can.
Seen a few YT vids on my feed of Americans going to Albania as a first step recently.
I did, actually. My folks and I were considering moving to Paraguay (because of similarities to the US), but others were Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and maybe a couple others.
Nope
