I live in the US, I will get a vacation when I am dead.
Idk, call ICE on yourself or criticize a genocide enough and you might get a free flight to El Salvador. Last I heard, setting a Tesla on fire might do it now too. Pretty soon, maybe just voting for a Democrat books you a flight. We’ll see.
Take an extended vacation to Canada. Alberta is affordable and could use some more naturalized citizens to help vote out the Conservatives.
My wife’s company (pharmaceutical) is closing most of their offices in the states. Her job was relocated to Ontario, so while it is not Alberta, we may be becoming Canadian.
Ontario is also a good pick. I actually also work in the US Healthcare industry from Canada. It’s surprising how much of the private health care revenue ends up leaving the country.
Her company is basically pulling out of the states all together from what we understand.
How possible is it to become a citizen in Canada? Everything I can find online says you either need a Canadian spouse or a Doctorate with a job lined up to make it happen.
I’ll give my all if another country will take me, but I can’t find any way out of this hell
The usual path is through permanent residency. If you reside within Canada for about three years on a PR card you can apply for citizenship.
You can get PR via a spouse or skilled/point based application. One hack to gain a lot of points is to practice your French, if you can score even moderate fluency in French and apply to reside within Quebec things get significantly easier.
Another large entry opportunity is asylum seekers and LGBT+ folks can have a far easier time requesting entry though that is country of origin based and while the US has been considered as being declared dangerous for LGBT+ people it is not currently so as Canada considers interior migration (i.e. moving from Louisiana to Vermont) to be a reasonable path to safety. That may change depending on US federal laws though.
Honestly, that’s a lot more hopeful than what one found myself. I really hope it’s not something I have to seriously pursue, but every day makes it feel more likely.
Going to the UK in the fall, first time going to Europe, I’m pretty excited.
You probably already know, but in case you don’t, bring adapters for your phone charger and whatever else because their outlets are different. Their grid is 50Hz instead of 60Hz in the US.
And dont bring hair dryer!
Many modern devices can “float” between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.
In practice, it means you don’t need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.
To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you’re bringing. The ranges will be listed.
Done it many times.
This has been my experience. I use any random adapter I find in Walmart or Amazon for cheap and they last forever, and my phone charger is setup like you say so it’s fine in Germany, Ireland, UK, etc.
UK is one of my favorite places to vacation! Enjoy your trip!
Camping through the redwood forests of Northern California.
Later, Denver.
Next year, Japan.
Japan for a month in November! Been saving for and planning on going for the last 20 years and I’m finally going! I’m so freaking excited!
What a treat! Good for you. It is something I want to do too and reading this gives me hope.
I’m an American with a minority wife. Even if we could afford to go somewhere, we can’t get close to a boarder without ICE black bagging us.
Planning what will probably be my last ever trip to NZ to visit family, with a stopover in Japan on the way back. Happening in Oct/Nov.
Cornwall. Same group of friends as the last 30 or so years, in about 6 weeks time.
Nice
We have vacationed every year since 2012 to Disneyland. This year we are going to stay in Canada and go to Victoria, I think.
Here’s what ai suggested:
Canada’s Wonderland, located in Vaughan, Ontario, is commonly referred to as the “Disneyland of Canada”.
Here’s why:
Thrill Rides and Family Fun:
Canada’s Wonderland is known for its extensive collection of roller coasters and other thrill rides, making it a popular destination for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Home. Travelling is expensive, destroying the climate, and simply not necessary to relax and have a good time.
Istanbul in May, but with everything going on there now it seems like a poor choice!
Either Hawaii, or someplace like Sweden or Ireland
Australia! 😃
My man cave.
Can’t afford going on trips to places.
I’m thinking about going to Seattle in June. I’ve never been and I think it would be cool to visit for a week. It will be the first vacation for my wife and I without our children. So… 22 years?
Booo USA
Not everyone here has international travel money.
If you are American, look across the border into BC. With the exchange rate right now, I bet it is cheaper to go to BC than to go to Seattle
I just did one of my biggest trips last year by getting to see a live F1 race. I’ll probably end up going to another F1 race at a different track again. One of the most exciting events I’ve gotten to see.
So cool!
