Your helpful, timely and Handy Guide to get you thinking about your options!
With the Donald stressing out the rational citizens of the USA with the possibility of becoming President, maybe its time to explore your options for residency elsewhere around the planet. Imagine living in a place not ruled by a psychotic shape shifter! And no, North Korea isnt on this list, and we can now sincerely appreciate the complete polar opposite in Uraguayan President, Jose Mujica.
Lets have a look, shall we? The list includes of course, Canada, Ireland and Singapore, and a few other, lol. Brilliant.

New Zealand is sooo appealing, that's at the top of my list except for the whole 'ring of fire' and it's inevitable doomsday destruction due to earthquakes.
I LOVE mexico, it's one of my all time favorite destinations on the planet. I would totally live in the Yucatan, except that well, I don't really like the heat. I look better with clothes on.

If that happens, and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island, the site reads. We need people. We need you! Its a lovely island, with a very pastoral way of life. Perfect for those who enjoy the sea, winters, nature, outstanding education and being close to the USA, and quite safe from zombies."
Sounds like hell-on-earth to a republican, Muslim people can roam freely, and nobody has a hand gun so it might be a republican-free zone, as well.
Most of us aren't going anywhere but it is a cool list. Thanks for posting it.

(16,334 posts)my neighbor recently met someone from there and was advised to do her homework before considering such a move. Especially for people who now have access to everything within a few miles from home.
I guess it all depends on the kind of lifestyle you wish to live.

Philippines is much easier, I believe. Thailand is supposed to be amazing. It depends on how you can support yourself in any case, I suppose.

Im a software engineer and I plan to do consulting wherever we end up.
Yes, Thailand would be another good option.
