US Expats(or hopeful expats), what countries do you consider your good home away from home?

Guest · 2026-07-15T01:40:33+02:00

To explain first, I would like to say that I'm not asking about temps, local flavor, ease of transfer or the like. My wife and I are stuck in the US while caring for her father. When the inevitable happens, however, we would like to be prepared to head out ASAP. We've done a lot of searching but I thought I'd ask here in case someone's done some legwork for the same goals as us. I traveled a bunch as a kid in the military but that was a very long time ago and I wouldn't trust my notions of the countries in question to have remained the same. Basically, a lot of our goals will be achieved just by not being in the US any longer but we'd hate to end up in a spot that's working hard to emulate the current social and political climate here. Just as an example, we don't consider a large portion of Europe to be feasible for us due to the widespread tracking, online verification, etc. These aren't huge points by themselves but does lead one to believe that it's similar enough in it's trajectory to warrant concern. I can answer any questions you might have that may be able to help guide suggestions but I'll leave it at this for now so I don't throw too many wrenches in the conversation. Thanks for your time!

Agree with the comment about expats. I was an immigrant in the US and I continue to be an immigrant, though I refuse to call myself American since I can't even renew my US passport.

Canada is wonderful and close culturally and geographically. No country is perfect and everyone is dealing with various levels of fascism, Canada nonetheless, but I do love it here. I've had absolutely zero trouble creating connections and have only felt welcome. The people are lovely, the food is delicious, and there's lots to enjoy.

What if they call every one an expat? Something tells me those people you speak of will hold those opinions regardless of what OP does.
