Moving out of US. But where to move?? Experiences or guidence is much appreciated.?

Question

Alright everyone I am trying to move out of the US in a year or 2, I will leave with around 35k and no car and will be around 21-22 yrs old.

Like the topic says I am trying to get an opinion for a place to move, I want to move somewhere warm (currently in chicago), I was thinking....Hawaii, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Italy, Ireland, Peru, Jamaica, Virgin Islands, UK, Tokyo, Austria, Australia, Canada....

As you can see I am open to anything, and I just want to live a calmer life without the hassle of the things in the US. I would probably move back after a couple years just because the US is the best at everything.

So any suggestions on a place would be awsome, also if anyone can tell me the steps to moving. What I am required to do, etc. I am also favoring a place that speaks english since that is all I know. Or at least spoken in the country.

If anyone can share their experience with me, or any helpful info that would be great!!!! Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Costa Rica.

Answer 2

I've been overseas and pretty much intend to do much the same thing.You shouldn't be that specific about your finances. Let's face it. The world isn't filled with good people. I take it your move is permanent. I can sympathize. I can share what I do know however it'd take a lot of space. E-mail me a conventional e - mail address and I'll give you mine. In the meantime, and don't get the wrong idea, I have little if any confidence in government generally but, the C.I.A. does put out on it's website how it rates countries with a marginal political description. Really, it's up to us as individuals to sort things out. The department of state does the same thing. I'll tell you in advance, warm climate countries, unless you've spent a year or two in them may afford an easier climate but there's usually a weather snag of some kind inherent to the place that takes up the slack of the easy weather you are getting. Hurricanes and the like. Too, warm climate places tend to have a higher incidence of corruption. Because many are underdeveloped there are a host of problems that are usually glossed over. I've been to the Caribbean, France, Holland, and passed through Belgium. I hope I can make a permanent move before I lose more hair. Hope this helps, at your service.

Answer 3

Hawaii is part of the US. If you don't know that, you have no business travelling. Ireland, the UK, Tokyo Austria and Canada are cold. Australia won't take you if you are a male that doesn't have a kick-azz profession of a buttload of $$$ to bring with you (a whole lot more than 35K). You can't afford the Virgin Islands or Italy. Jamacia is a crime-infested s*itwhole once you get out of the tourist enclaves. Peru is a third world country.

Good luck.

Answer 4

The US is best at everything? Ha, that's a joke. They're good at some stuff, sure, but every country has it's pros and cons - the US is no exception!

Cross off most of those countries you have listed, because they are just as hectic - if not more, than the US. I mean, for god's sake, Tokyo? Tokyo is far busier than the US! And it's not a country, it's a city in Japan - which is a country. Hawaii, by the way, is also part of your country.

And you can't just...get up and move into a country. There's papers you have to fill out, and things you have to do.

Answer 5

LOL, Why doesn't anyone think of Hawaii as being part of America?

35k Will last you 6 months in Tokyo (seriously.), but you will have a good time spending it. Do you have a plan for a job?

Edit:
Then again looking at your reasons for wanting to move I think it is totally wrong for you. You will find yourself in a cramped apartment surrounded by 10 million people. Not calm at all.

Answer 6

i moved to mexico and i liked it. but i wasn't worn out with life at 22 either...and i didn't go searching for something. what i found was what i had never thought to look for....a greater perspective on life, an appreciation for a slower pace, a surpressed desire for material goods.

but had i left my own country, turned my back on it because i was mad, or fed up...i'm not sure my experience would have been so successful. i left happy, and with no expectations or quest. also....you can't just move somewhere, suck what you can from that country, and then move right home once you've taken the best of what they had to offer. that is one of the reasons why people are so pissed at illegal immigrants living here. they work, earn money, ship it away, and then go back home once they have some cash, and they never really care or accept our life here in the US. don't be this person to some other country. if you want to move, great. but don't do it searching for some ideal fantasy you have in your head, only to have your fill of it and then return to "the promise land" again. be respectful of other people's home.

since you are so young, why don't you begin studying a language now, and then enrol in school while you are away. again, i suggest mexico because there are many climates you could choose, it's close but not too close, and there are many resources for you to begin researching now.

Answer 7

Try Ecuador. It's warm and has some beautiful beaches. You may have to give up some of your "free" actions that you have here in the USA, but if what you have here is so repulsive giving up some freedoms should not be a hardship.

You're young and you have been influenced by some of the artificial aspects of the USA "cool" characters on TV and Hollywood. A few years in some of the "so-so Free" countries might be good for you,..if you survive them.

If Ecuador does not please you, try Argentina, a nice wide-open country that reminds one of our old west.

Good Luck, learn a new language and compare what you have here to what you had there,..it will be good for your development.

Answer 8

The Caymen Islands.
Very warm and beautiful.
The United Kingdom owns it and everyone speaks english.

Answer 9

you are going to would desire to do some thing to chop up him and his spouse up extra many times. i do no longer advise actually attempt to interrupt up their marriage, I advise socially. that is in basic terms organic for persons to make acquaintances and unlike their boyfriend/lady pal/better half. God knows a number of my previous acquaintances have dated their honest share of folk i've got disliked. and that i understand i'd be kidding myself if all my acquaintances cherished my boyfriend/fiance. i assume you may desire to discover a fashion by some ability to have the spouse sneak off to hold out with you, with out the husband understanding it. perhaps they're going to get placed on separate shifts at paintings or some thing and you'd be waiting to concentration extra time on your ultimate pal. in any different case, if this is going to be a persistant difficulty, you the two would desire to confront your ultimate pal and her husband approximately each and each of the crap occurring, or you have walk faraway from her friendship.
