Have you ever/would you ever sell everything and move to another country/state?

[ellessij]

Recently, I have been seriously considering selling all my possessions and moving to another island.
I've lived in Trinidad basically all of my life, and honestly I'm fed up of this place.

I applied for my US Visa but was denied because "there was no reason for me to return" and apparently the US embassy isn't granting visas to candidates that seemingly won't return to Trinidad. Basically the only way to get a US Visa is to have an American fiance.

I found a job in Grenada, and it seems like the perfect place. The currency is E.C. so I'll be making more money when converted to TT. It's MUCH safer than Trinidad and I'll be able to surf, go to the beach, and do the activities that I enjoy. I really could use a change of scenery.

I'm just scared to actually pack up and move on my own, have any of you done this? Any advice?

What dat mouf do

Look, make sure you thoroughly research the place you want to land.
Other than that, all I can say is to stay safe and props to you for migrating in the first place.


On another note, I think it's a real shame that most Black americans don't have a damn passport.

I'm in love with someone in another state but it would never work

Did you take your job letter to the interview?

Did you own a house/land in Trinidad?

at first i thought it was weird to do that

but why keep all your shyt unless its sentimental and not move?

if there was some place out the country i wanted to move to right now, and i would be getting paid and its safer, im doing it. i might visit first to see if my soul feels comfortable there, but i'd do it.

shyt im tryna move now but waiting until i got a job locked

if you feel it calling you girl, do it! dont regret. no woulda shoulda couldas. and if its a mistake, its a learning experience

more money, safer, surfing

 

[Pyrexcup]

You're an attractive female. Just hit up any dating/social networking site and an American will scoop you up in no time lol.

Hell maybe even one of these coli nikkas

 

[Thuglet]

My current plan is to move to the US when I'm finished with school. Probably gonna do an exhange year to UCSD too

 

[KritNC]

I did it and moved to Cost Rica, it wasnt all that hard just a lot of planning before hand and a little transition period to get readjusted

 

[Couth]

i've thought about it. My friends and family are the only thing holding me back. i just can't imagine life without seeing my friends everyday.

if you don't have anything stopping you then just do it.

 

[Elle Driver]

Very hard to get a VISA unless you can have family sponsor you or a fiancee but I'd try applying for school then a job or something. Then eventually from a work permit you can get a green card then citizenship. But if you're applying for VISA its only temporary so they will deny you if you say you won't return because its not a green card. Try a DV lottery maybe.

I lived in Latin America for two years. It was hard to adjust.

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

10 years ago most likely, but I'm far too professionally grounded here to pick up and move.

 

[ba'al]

I'm currently flirting with the idea of having dual citizenship and moving to Ghana.
