Yeah, yeah, “muh blog post”, but seriously, myself and A LOT of others, in the LDSAU Reddit community are thinking about getting out, before things in Aus get much worse.
Some already have. I know they went to Thailand, Bali and the Middle East. Those places aren’t for me, though.
So I’ve been thinking about Poland or Latin America, mostly. It’s fairly straightforward (in normal times) for an Australian of my age group to move to certain other countries on a Working Holiday Visa, at least for a year. If “my country” even LETS me leave, at least…
So… Hypothetically, I know that I can go to Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Cyprus, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, or a couple of the Baltic states…
Some of those are obviously more appealing than others. I’m still thinking Poland or Slovakia, quite honestly. But if other people have thoughts on this… Fire away!
Obvious this isn’t, initially at least, a long term move, but if Australia actually collapses while I am/we are all gone, then I’m sure I can probably apply for asylum or whatever, lol…
No degree, to clarify. Unfortunately…
Which… Doesn’t help me, I know. 😑
Hot take: USA. We have actual grass roots push back on a wide scale.
Southern US unless you want to freeze your nuts off in one of the Dakotas, Montana or Alaska.
Although that may be preferable to swamp ass 3/4 of the year. It was literally 75 degrees this Christmas. It didn't get cold til like last week.
