Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Moving to another country?

Anyone here thought about it? Born raised here of course. Never even been to another country and never even considered visiting as there is so much to see here. But...wife and I joked about moving the other day. Yep grass isn't greener on the other side. I get it. Plus with kids family here not feasible. Anyone else considered this and if so where?

Where indeed! 50 years ago there may have been options, but the internet has screwed the world up big time.

Language and cultural differences make the choice even more difficult.

I’ve wanted to run away for many years.
Not really running from anything, but to something. I just don’t know what or where.

You should all keep away from Australia...it is a terrible place to retire, shockingly miserable, particularly uninviting, woeful weather, full of flies, and it smells funny.

Did I mention the weather?

Wyoming

I picture Australia to being similar to that movie “Damnation Alley”.

Anywhere you go your gonna be a rich gringo or as our Southern friends would say a damned Carpetbagger SUM BEECH! You do you boo, I'll take my chances right here. I mean look at the options Europe is a Muslim infested shiet hole, South Africa is a war zone, Canada is run by gun-grabbing socialists, and Latin America is ruled by Narco warlords. So that leaves the Poles, not really my idea of a retirement getaway.

if you travel around the world you will see why people from all over come here to live and not visa versa. nice places to visit (some) but wouldn't want to live anywhere else. BTDT.

Nope, we're full up of immigrants from demotard states bringing their liberal ideas with them.

I was working around Broken Hill when they made that flick, got to see a bit of it, and drove past the truck on it's side at Silverton.

Best car-chase film ever made. The "Interceptor" is still the coolest movie car of all time, bar none.

That's how the vote changes. Seems you will need conservative votes to counter that.

Were one to decide to run away from America I suggest Haiti. You'll understand quickly why this land is worth fighting for. And why Trump labeled such lands chittholes.

Whilst at work last year I got to see a few of the vehicles on their way to Broken Hill for the anniversary party of the flick...I was more interested in the old square 4x4 Ford truck with the tipper and duelies powered by a V8 diesel...yakking with the fellow that owned it was interesting, but the "Interceptor" didn't really get my attention.

The Ford was considerably larger than a F100, both cabin and wheel base, and not something I had seen before.

Amazing that some of those movie cars still survive. They beat the schitt out of them in the movie.

Thank God for enthusiasts.

Northern Canada. You would get away from most politics and as the song my buddy wrote. 40 Below keeps the riff raff out. Ed k

Most countries allow dual citizenship. The USA doesn't. Canadians who become US citizens automatically retain Cnanadian citizenship too.

If you're Jewish, you can become a citizen of Israel as well as the USA.

If you can prove Italian ancestry, you can get an Italian passport.

Some countries allow you to buy citizenship, usually for $250,000 or so. But these seem to be tiny islands that no one ever heard of.

I'm surprised that some "real" country, like Canada, doesn't pass a law letting Americans have citizenship provided they pass certain criteria and invest a reasonable amount of money in Canadian businesses. The 1960s, when Pakistanis bought "tours" to Canada with one-way flights and US draft dodgers declared themselves landed immigrants, are long gone.

Whatever you do, do not renounce US citizenship. The US has a law that lets them confiscate most of your assets if you do.

I have a friend who bought a place in an 8000 person enclave of Americans and Canadians 35 miles from Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico. I would not move to Mexico no matter what.

Ya'll lookin' for a landing spot after the election?

I'll stay here, thanks. But don't let the door hit ya in the ass on your way out.
