Wanting to move out of the US? (lemm.ee)

Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move there? How did you go about the process? What are some stories you can tell about the immigration process? Where can I start? How can I realistically make it happen? I hope this isn’t silly to you all, as it matters quite a lot to me and I’m genuinely interested in getting away from here for good. Thank you all for your time!

I'm not from the US but moved to Germany with an Italian passport and have had a great time so far.

Thank you for your response, and I hope everything continues to be great for you with no end in sight!

The biggest advice I'd give is that you understand beforehand that you are going to a place with a different culture and should try to adjust the best you can.

This means learning the language, respecting their rules, etc. It's a bit overwhelming at first but after a few months it starts feeling natural.

Germany overall is great if you want a place that is tidy and like having a large set of rules that make sure everything works the way it's supposed to.
