With the results of the election of 2016 right before us, it is important to have the travel plan ready once you realize that your favorite candidate didn't win. The only clear option is to flee the country like you promised you would in all of those opinionated political posts you made on Facebook over the course of these last few months. While you start packing your bags and readying your passports, I've gone ahead and done some research on the countries you should consider for your re-homing. So while you aren't at all happy with the outcome of this election, here are the top twelve countries you should consider for your move.
1. France
Although the people are considered to be rude and snobby, if you are moving to escape the results of the election, you might fit in great there. Its influence on art, music, literature, and architecture is immeasurable and its food is also absolutely incredible. Who doesn't love eating snails drenched in butter and garlic?
2. South Korea
Although their long history of conflict is seemingly endless, to you, it could be better than the US. Because the election is just so horrible that you need to leave even though there are people all around the world suffering from much, much worse. Anyways, some interesting perks to South Korea would be that it is the home of Samsung, Hyundai, and Kia. These three companies represent the two major exports that make South Korea successful which are technology and cars. It could soon be your home too.
3. Switzerland
We can relish in Switzerland's diverse atmosphere, incredible landscape, focus on safety and tranquility, and it's creation of the Swiss Army Knives. Switzerland would be a great getaway after the election's promise for a radical and ridiculous future.
4. Antarctica
While you will most likely either freeze your ass off or be eaten by a Polar Bear, it still can't be worse than The United States come the inauguration.
5. Australia
Home to large snakes, spiders, dingos, and other terrifying creatures, it is seemingly better than the snake and dingo that will take over the White House as our new POTUS.
6. China
Even though it has been a Communist-run country since 1949 and air pollution sucks, it could still be a breath of fresh air from our current situation in the United States. China has one of the fastest growing economies and still has laws about how many children you are allowed to have. That's a step in the right direction for women's rights! *jokes*
7. Qatar
Being the richest country in the world has its perks. For instance, the number of millionaires in Qatar is about 14 perent of the population. Can I get an 'amen'? Although stoning to death is still a legal form of punishment, we can look past that flaw and concentrate on the fact that GDP is extremely high.
8. Spain
Churros and Paella and Sangria, Oh My! Rich in culture and history, Spain is one of the most beautiful countries around. With amazing foods and history, Spain is easily attractive to someone planning to move. Just make sure you don't decide to go for a light jog through Pamplona during La Corrida de Toros, Running of the Bulls.
9. Mexico
If you are against Trump then no worries, the wall will protect you from his influence in Mexico. Just expect a higher tax because he plans on making Mexico pay for the wall. If you are against Hillary and get sick of Mexico at any point, you'll probably be able to walk right back into the United States whenever tickles your fancy.
10. India
They have elephants and curry and both of those things are likely to make anyone's day. Its population is one of the largest in the world and it is also home to two of the most popular religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. While this peninsula is home to beautiful and ancient cultures, it is important to beware of tigers.
11. South Africa
Considered to have Africa's second largest economy behind Nigeria, South Africa is home to amazing wildlife and terrain. Although the crime rates are through the roof and there is extreme political unrest, it might be your best bet for a new and thrilling adventure.
12. Britain
Although they are about to face some serious issues due to the Brexit, the Queen has so kindly offered to take us back. While they do drink tea, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the sweet kind. But keep your chins up about this one, there is the hope of marrying Prince Harry.
