5 Remote Places To Move To If Donald Trump Becomes President

If you're anything like me, you enjoy living in the United States. Besides the wage gap, institutionalized racism, rape culture, wonky justice system, sexism, weird obsession with assault weapons, hate for feminists, immigrants or anyone that isn't a rich white man... well, hey, we all have our faults (feel free to call me a dirty communist at this point, if you have the urge to). Compared to the less savory countries we could have wound up in, the U.S. of A. is pretty legit.

But there's one new potential fault looming over the U.S.A.: Donald Trump. His presence in the presidential race amplifies all of the other faults of the United States, because he speaks of them not as faults, but as jokes or things that are self-inflicted, harmless or are only problems because people have thin skin. Not only are his comments hateful and derogatory, but they cause him to be popular with a small minority of individuals, and are begrudgingly waved aside by those who feel forced to endorse him because of partisanship.

You all know about Donald Trump. And if you have joked with your friends that you're "Leaving the country if the Donald gets elected!" but there was a little more truth to the joke than you'd like to admit, I've hunkered down, done some leg work and found some of the most remote places in the world to move to if Donald Trump encapsulates all of your worst fears.

1. Ivujivik, Quebec

Sure, it's cold and little, but it's way out of reach of humanity (or Donald Trump). With a high unemployment rate and accessibility problems, it might not deserve to be our first contestant, but it's a start.

2. Ittoqqortoormiitt, Greenland.

Incredibly cold, small and isolated, this may be your ideal get-away. Especially if you enjoy hunting, because this little slice of frozen paradise relies heavily on hunting and fishing. You may bump into an occasional polar bear, but if we're going for the lesser of two evils...


3. Puerto Williams, Chile.

Possibly the most scenic yet, Puerto Williams also lacks polar bears, but makes up for it with a larger population, and a Chilean naval base. The town claims to be the "world's southernmost city," which makes for sweet bragging rights. The climate stays relatively cool year round, and is incredibly close to the South Pole, adding to the possible appeal of this little place.

4. Cooladdi, Australia.

This might be the worst one yet! There seems to be absolutely nothing to do, Polar Bears are replaced with scary creepy-crawlies and Australia is definitely hot. There are also only four residents, and I'm not too sure how they would feel about taking in American refugees...

5. Svalbard, Norway.

Back to the cold and polar bears, Svalbard is technically a group of islands. So this is basically the island escape of your dreams, right? This is also the considered the Northernmost place in the world, with lots of glaciers and snow. OK, maybe not the ideal island getaway, but I doubt the Donald will be venturing here anytime soon.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
