Better reconsider dude because politics is everywhere including your own home.

him being happy is what counts but it's in no way cheaper. have you seen australian property prices? and groceries cost a ton more too.
He is going to the Philippines, and the expenses are quite low there. English is also widely spoken, although the crime rate is quite high when compared to the western nations. That said, he will be quite surprised once he lands in that country. He is escaping from one populist politician (Trump) and now he has to live under the rule of Duterte, who is even more populist and outspoken.
Life is very tough out there.. Id never move to the Philippines

It depends where you live. Avoid settling in Mindanao (or at least the SW parts) that's where most of the Islamist activities are. Luzon is the safest bet for people moving here though there are also plenty of good cities in the Visayas, especially Cebu (they tend to speak English even with other Filipinos).
I'm not sure about jobs though. My mom's cousin is married to an American and they moved back to Guam just this year. Not exactly sure what he does for a living but I heard he's not making enough here. It would be far easier if you just build your own business.
A word of warning to anyone planning to move here. Summer IS HOT. And no, I'm not talking just about Pinoys on the beach. If you plan to move, do it on the cooler months to allow your body to acclimatize. Even OFWs on vacation find the heat oppressive. You wouldn't want a stroke ruining your housewarming.
How warm are the summers you're talking about?
during summer 34 - 40 degrees Celsius

A far better choice would be Belize, if you like Philippines-like climate. It is common law, where the basic rule of law is the 12-person jury, like the United States or Great Britain or Canada.

Belize? I thought there is an open hunting season on gringos, you know like Guatemalans crossing the border etc...
Belize has the third highest murder rate in the world in 2016!!!

Better choice is Costa Rica. Lots of gringos. Nice climate. Plenty of gated communities para todos que no hablar español.
I guess if he's moving there, he better learn Spanish.

I'm really thinking about it (the thread title). One problem. I'd have to be in the U.S. to do it. Things might appear that I am in the U.S., and people in their simple understanding might think that I and they are in the U.S., but you are only in the U.S. if you work for Government, and maybe not even then. Otherwise you are a free man or woman on the land. After all, the Basic Law of the U.S., the constitution states that Government land is the 10 square miles of D.C.

Goodbye and good riddance.

It's all PR. Some stars have received Russian citizenship. They're prostitutes and sold to Putin for the money, but none of them lives in Russia. USA is one of the best countries in the world and therefore nobody's going anywhere.
You are Ukrainian right? I can see why you are so butt-hurt? Every month, I see a number of Westerners, applying for the Russian passport. But never heard anyone ever preferring an Ukrainian passport.
That said, the Ukrainians are dreaming that very soon the EU will grant them right to work. Keep dreaming... as it is never going to happen. The EU wants only Syrians and Iraqis.

I liked Baguio a lot the first time I went there; the climate is much more manageable. The people didn't like me so much in Baguio for whatever reason. On my trip I was treated anywhere from being John Mayer to a poor black man in the south in the 1950s. I might try to stop at Tagaytay, heard it has a large expat community as well.
they have a different view from the people in the lowlands , up there they would treat you as a normal person thats why famous local artist doesnt visit Baguio often.If you do visit again expect to bumped into some Koreans and blacks

Still teaching English is a dead end. I would focus on technology or some other lucrative side gig.
You have no idea how wrong you are. English is the most sought-after language in the world. Nobody's tripping over themselves to learn French, Russian or Greek. Because English is the language of science and most machinery (German being #2), its pretty much required learning for anybody in advanced academia.
If you dont like the warm climate, try going to Tagaytay and Baguio.

Yeah USA is the worse place on earth
until you go to any other country.
Interestingly - I saw a list of countries with the most America expats and Italy was #1 on the list. Italy is where the American elites like going, I think, although not all Americans there are rich (Amanda Knox today is living in a trailer park).

Italy is almost broke now, and the tax rates are over the roof. The income tax is at least 100% more than that in the United States, and gasoline costs almost 200% higher. I will be very surprised if these people opt for Italy.

Before the election results came out, a lot of celebrities had declared that they will be immigrating to other countries (especially Canada and Mexico), if Trump becomes the President of the United States. Almost one month has passed since he won the elections, and none of the celebrities have renounced their American passports.
noone will never leave ...all these celebrities can only live is usa..they will never leave usa...

I have been to countless countries around the world and I can tell you a lot of the universal problems. Nice hotels isn't the problem - it's usually just the plain lack of good services. I would be surprised if anyone can offer better services than Socal. I can get good sushi on the west coast but what kind can I get in Budapest or Tallinn? Ditto

I doubt that anyone would agree to surrender his American passport, but that's not it. The fact that a very large number of people do not support policies Trump will bring more tension in the society.It already has, by quite a bit. We really screwed up this time. Yet Hillary and her people have no one to blame but themselves.
First 6 days, booked! I'll be hitting up Angeles and Subic Bay first as I hear they have large expat communities and are relatively modernized. Any other suggestions of where to go on Luzon would be greatly appreciated.

All my reading so far has implied there's plenty of work for illegal english gigs. Pretty sure you won't go destitute unless you're lazy or in an area with no one willing to learn English.
