To me it isn't a matter of being "Woke or Not" it's a matter of being a decent human being to your fellow man. To be able to respond to another human being without being nasty and aggressive. I left the US six years ago and it did't take long to realise how the US media likes to keep everyone on high alert with constant crisis and upheval. Long term this is damaging to your health. We can have different opinions without being vile to one another. Those attitudes say more about the person vs the situation at hand.

The best plan is to plan to move to something, not to plan to leave something.

When I left the US over 20 years ago I was not thinking of money. I wanted a big change in my life and I went for it. What's important for me when moving to another country is how are the people, what are the social situations like, is it safe, good health care, good food, etc, etc?

The first country I moved to was Ireland. I live in Ireland for 4 years. Loved it! Found a job in 3 days. Which was great as I had about 1500 euros on me. Four years later I fell in love and moved to france, beem here ever since. Totally different life and couldn't live any other way.

Important: Try and learn the language, don't expect the adopted country to know yours, besides the natives will like and respect you for it.

One thing all the countries you mentioned have in common, school children don't need to wear bullet proof vest when they go to school.

This is like changing cabins on the Titanic…

As an expat if you work remotely : Malta, Georgia, Croatia, Amsterdam,Luxembourg. The ones we already know or are trendy already hate expat these ones are still welcoming...Malta has great weather is perfect and they speak english

I am Australian and resident here.  I can confirm that our universal health care is good.  Not perfect, but good.  I chose long ago to also have private health insurance.  It is not cheap IMHO, but nowhere near as expensive as the equivalent in the USA, I am told.  Thank you for the video!

@jonf2126

Emigrated to Mexico 2 years ago. Wish I had done it sooner. Fairly fluent in Spanish, continue taking classes, goal of cultural immersion. Works for me!

@JustYFriend

You are a true free thinker, and that is SO refreshing these days.

@richardpatterson2554

Having spent signifigant time in British Columbia and Washington state and watching the crime statistics on the nightly news for both of these places it always amazes my how much more violent crimes takes place in Washington especially the greater Seattle area. The Seattle news is predominantly all about the violent crime and shootings. Canada is far from perfect, but in my opinion there is absolutely no comparison if you take all the gun violence into consideration.

@chrisk7118

Paraguay or Mexico are good cause you can get citizenship. Philippines can’t get citizenship but you can speak English and get immediate and ongoing Permanent Residency under the SRRV.

I’m a native New Yorker who has had the good fortune of marrying a lovely Frenchwoman. Through the years, I  eventually received my French citizenship. Thank goodness for that, since I now have an escape hatch.

You can run but when there's nowhere to hide from a world on fire

@hisbigal

Lots of people are too poor to leave, even though many of them are going to be in great danger. I was lucky to get out in 2005 and did it with a student visa, got my PhD at a UK university. I’m still in Europe and will never return to the US.

@Rhaspun

Speaking the local language seems to entice the locals to be friendly. You don't need to be fluent but enough to get by and people are friendly and helpful.

@richardcgs2001

If you want a quick out with zero red tape, go to Tbilisi, Georgia, where Americans can stay for 365 days. Then, after your 364th day, you can take a short trip to Yerevan, Armenia, and return next day to Georgia, doing so ad infinitum. Cost of living is much less than most states in the USA and certainly less than in Canada. More expensive than Mexico; but in Tbilisi, there are no drug cartels and the crime rate is low. Yerevan is even cheaper but you can stay just six months before needing to do a visa run. You can also get by much better with English in Tbilisi than with English in Yerevan. You can also open a bank account without waiting in Georgia but you have to have six month's residency to do in Armenia.

"If you're gonna move, then MOVE!"
So right.

@Undercoverbooks

I moved to Canada 35 years ago from the U.S. and have been very happy here. I just wanted to note that over 23% of Canada's population comes from somewhere else, so they aren't anti-immigrant. They're just putting some brakes on right now to deal with some growth issues and housing struggles. Canada's population overall is small (smaller than California's), there's a lot of the country that geographically is difficult to develop, and "just building more housing" isn't as easy as it sounds. But I've always found Canadians friendly and welcoming, and there are a lot of available services to help new immigrants get settled and connected. And no matter where you come from, you will find others here who speak your language.

@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333

I just want to live in a country with kind people that care for one another, a not so toxic political climate, interesting cities and towns that prioritize all other means of transport over cars, universal healthcare, mandatory paid time off (especially vacation leave), that isn’t full of religious freaks, that’s safe, etc. If that means paying higher taxes, so be it.
