And why? Edit: I ranked the top 10 countries based on the comments. **1. Egypt** – 72 mentions Still the runaway king. “Scam with a national anthem,” constant harassment, aggressive hustlers everywhere, even people who loved ancient Egypt say the modern experience ruined it forever. **2.…

Bold design, too.

EDIT 2: In their infinite wisdom the mods decided to ban me for sayong "So is your face", but the many abusive MAGA trolls that attacked and insulted me are still here. Make of that what you will but I'm neither capable nor have the energy to reply to comments anymore. On top of that I found out…

I'm 38 and most of my life I thought I was ineligible to get dual citizenship through ancestry, with the last time checking requirements around the start of the pandemic. Cut ahead to the election last year and with the oncoming existential crises, I thought, why not check again? Nothing seemed to…

Every US election brings anxiety and uncertainty, and with that comes an increase in people who want to explore their alternatives in a different country. This post is for you. First, some reminders: * In most cases, moving abroad is not as simple or quick as it seems in movies. If you aren't a…

Here's the translated story: A few years ago I sat next to this woman on a plane from Newark to Washington. We talked about our jobs (she's an engineer, I write stories) and our kids (we each have two) and what we were watching on Netflix. (We both love Friends) Then she asked where I was from…

I thought I was gonna get a 12 hour layover chilling at the airport. Turned out, they closed the airport that night and I had no visiting visa. They issed me a visa usually reserved for flight attendants and pilots just so I can get out of custom. It was fun tho, I took a bus to the city, took a…

While waiting in line for my flight at Geneva Airport, I noticed someone holding a North Korean diplomatic passport. Sorry for the low-quality photo—I had to snap it quickly and discreetly 😅

I'm a left leaning person and lately the vast majority of Western digital nomads/expats (men, 20s/early 30s) I meet and interact with in Asia (Thailand, Bali, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, China, Philippines) are right leaning. In the past it used to be the exact opposite, they're also upfront…

Dual citizenship by birth (grandfather was a German immigrant) but I've never bothered to apply for my papers until now. For now I'm staying in the states but I'm grateful that I have an escape plan if things truly go to shit here.

Both my friend and I are Palestinians — our families originally from the same village near Beersheba. After the 1967 war, my father’s family was displaced to Gaza, while his ended up in Haifa. Now, nearly 60 years later, that historical split continues to shape our lives. Despite having stronger…

Kind of doing this post to disprove the issue of different post. Hello, I immigrated to Canada 4 years ago. British Columbia specifically. It is extremely expensive relative to local wages, for a developed nation. But there are aspects not discussed. These aspects contribute a lot to the overall…

First things first: I am NOT one of those expats/repats who is going to try to discourage you from moving. I whole-heartedly believe that if your heart is telling you to move abroad, you should do it if you can. Everyone's path is very different when it comes to moving abroad and you can only know…

I wanted to share the story of how leaving the US ended up being possibly the worst decision I have ever made in my life. You'll have to excuse me for using a throwaway account. I don't really want to share this on my main account. I was born in Finland and am a Finnish citizen but moved with my…

My husband and I (I’m 36, he’s 34) have 2 kids (7 y/o daughter, 5 y/o son) and live in the Midwest, we’re both born and raised. After Roe was overturned we fairly aggressively started looking into moving to Canada. We cooled the talk and then on election night I signed up to take the English IELTS…

Hi all, I wanted to put together a brief overview or sort of wiki thing for one of the biggest groups I see on here: Americans wanting to move to Europe. If you have questions or more to add (or you disagree!) please leave a comment and I can edit my post accordingly. DISCLOSURE: I'm just an…

The final nail for me was the absolute disgrace and utter betrayal of our democratic brethren in Ukraine and Europe in the Oval Office yesterday. I just sent an enquiry to an immigration solicitor in the UK to get the ball rolling. I also informed my CEO that I am doing this one way or another.…

Hi, just wanted to come back and update in case this helps anyone in the future. After a week of no access I was finally able to access my account. It’s amazing how fast things changed when I reported them to the CFPB. Lessons were definitely learned here and I have closed this account with this…
