Possible Solution: Get the Hell Out of This Country

So, I've been pondering about my location lately. I pretty much am fed up with America. Where should I go? Better yet, where can I go? Is it even feasible, given my particular situation, to move out of the country for good?

I sure as hell hope so.

The first thing on the list of things to remember would be the language barrier. I could encounter difficulties if I do not understand what anyone or anything says; moreover, I certainly would not be able to assimilate into the culture. That is what I ultimately want to do, move somewhere else, and completely convert to their way of life. This includes learning their language. English-speaking countries will be my first choice, but I will not rule out learning another language if the situation is nice enough

Here are a few places I've given serious thought to:

New Zealand




I've heard great things about this place. Perhaps...







Canada (Alberta)






I don't know. Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia? I like the idea of Canada because I've been there and I have family that are citizens there. From what I hear, people are much friendlier in Canada. Everything I hear about the place is good.

However, people seem to dislike Toronto, so I'll stay away from there. The things I hear about Toronto are that it is even more expensive than New York, the women are notorious for being stuck-up, flaky, and unfriendly, and people are in general submersed in their own lives and not willing to make friends.

That's a huge factor for me. I have to be able to have a successful life amongst others, and Toronto's qualities seems similar to the Seattle Freeze in many ways.


For instance, check out the city-data forum for Toronto:
Toronto Forum on Difficulties in the Social Scene


Nonetheless, I will strongly consider everywhere else Canada.




Germany




The women are some of the most beautiful in the world. Seems like a cool place. I'd have to learn German, but I think I could do it. Who knows?





The Philippines





The demographics of men to women favors me here. They are all bilingual, so I wouldn't need to learn Philippine. I also hear this place is very friendly. Am I scared of 3rd world countries? Nope. I live in a terrible city as it is.



The U.K.











I once read somewhere that there is no paradise. Every place has its ups and downs, its share of problems. I recognize this reality and fully accept it. However, I am 90% positive that the U.S is not the place for me. One day, I hope to get away to one of the above mentioned places. I hope to thrive somewhere else, and just be happy.

What hinders me? Well, lets see. I'm not done with school, I will have a ton of loans to pay off when I graduate, and then I would have to find a job in the new place that could A) pay the loans and B) still leave me with enough to live off of.

Other than that, there's nothing stopping me. We'll see what happens. I need to get skills that I can market anywhere.
