If I were to leave the country, where should I go?

[Scarpozzi]

I'm 21 years old and don't have too much tying me down here and would like to move FAR away from the states... More than anything I want to find a new place to settle down. Where should I go? I can only speak English right now so I was thinking Eastern Europe....anybody got any suggestions? Ohh yeah, I'll need to work when I get there. I'm a computer guy....I can do server administration and hardware repair pretty easily.

Move to Panama I used to live there, before moving back the States. It was awesome - not to mention it's summer year round

I would move back in a heartbeat if I was givin the option

 

[Scarpozzi]

What language is spoken there and what's the cost of living?

 

[Ryan]

Spanish, but teh majority of panamanians speak English around the canal zone. Cost of living is REALLY low, but again, it might be hard to find a high paying job.

UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Jamaica and all the other West Indies countries, Australia, New Zeland, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe are all English speaking nations. Take your pick.

I think the UK or Canada would be the easiest for you knowing only English and all...

 

[Scarpozzi]

Panama sounds nice, but Canada may be my best bet...I have fam in Maine so I might be able to do something like that. I'm just guessing the cost of living up there is more though... I just need to get my ducks in a row. I want to get my degree before I make such a move, but I think I may HIGHLY consider getting out of here for a while....

If you're white, don't go to Zimbabwe. President Mugabe has all but declared war on the white minority there.

Canada.

I think I would move to Alaska if I wanted to get away from the states, but still be in them.. lol

Go to Australia. Great people, beautiful country.
Take a few people with you. It's too crowded here.

 

[Scarpozzi]

It's not that crowded here in TN... Does anyone know if Australia is an expensive country to live in? I'm pretty serious about moving...I just don't know what kind of finances it would take to make such a move...

Just thought....maybe I should get a boat and sail the seas? I don't know much about sailing, but I could learn. I'd just have to get the boat and some money for food. Anyone know about how much that'd cost me? I just got a $30k/year job so I figure I could drop that by next winter and have a little cash to play with...
