Hey /trv/

Englishman here. I'm seriously thinking about moving to the states. New York and Florida (Orlando way) are probably my ideal destinations.

A few details..

I'm 19 (20 in November)

I have a decent amount of money which will almost double with the exchange rate

I only have a high school education

I'm used to the cold coming from the North of England, but I don't mind the warmth

I don't know what I want to do with my life exactly, other than move

the exchange rate doesn't really mean you will have that much more purchasing power. don't think you'll be able to get an apartment for half as much as you pay in england or something. most things I've discovered are pretty proportional except for maybe food and clothing prices. just fyi

Why are you leaving england to come here? If it's because of the crime/dangeous minorities - don't bother, we have them here too.

DO NOT COME TO FLORIDA.

Oh yeah, totally. I guess I worded that badly.
>>71112
Ha! tbh, I'm just fed up with my surroundings. I need change and there's very little keeping me here.

The both of you are talking about NY, right?

As a fellow britfag who has lived in the US , let me give you some advice. The US is a great place to live , particularly where i did in upper new york state , but there are things you should be aware of

1) if you are moving to the US for any length of time your going to need a job. Unfortunately the US has very Anal laws about foreigners getting work , and it is highly advisavle to get a work visa before you go. The system is institutionaly racist , so your background plays in your favour , but you may have trouble with only a high school education. Its best to check out the Embassy website for specifics.

2) Dont live in a major city like New york or Orlando. Whilst these tend to be nice enougth places to live , the high cost of living will cancell out any advantage you have money wise in the exchange. If you try a provincial town outside the major cities rent will drop dramaticly. In upper new york state , my place was only $150 a month.

3) If you have no particular reaason to move to the US i urge you to consider this scheme again. Whilst the US is a great place to live , it has its disadvantages , and is in many ways little better than the UK. You will Intially be without friends , family , transport (Unless you can drive) and you will be dumped into a very big sea. Unless you are going there for a specific purpose , you may find it difficult to adapt.

4) You wont be able to drink . Drinking age is 21. This highlights my least favourite thing about american society. In many areas outside of the big cities you will be considered a child. Most small town americans do not leave home untill well into thier 20s , and you will stick out quite alot, somthing that may harm your employment chances

If you do go , Good Luck , enjoy yourself , i sure did.

I'm hijacking this thread instead of making a new one.

I'm also a britfag, 22 years old, white, male and in my last year of my Bsc. Computing degree. I'm thinking about moving to the US in about 3 years. I can handle the sandniggers and crime over here, so I'm sure I would cope over there.

I've never been to the US, so suppose I want to go live there for a while, which states/cities are the best? I am planning to go there on holiday next year for a few weeks and check things out first. Which places should I look at?

Move to Canada instead, so you can still drink.

Do not go to Florida. You will most likely be happy with The Northwest, California, and the Northeast.

The cities around the Great Lakes (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo) are probably the most similar to the north of England. Most are relitavely inexpensive, down to earth places though finding stable employment might be more difficult. The North East Coast is expensive, noisy, crowded and everyone is a jerk; but hey, that might be your thing. You don't want to move to the South East, or really the South West for that matter.

Avoid the Great Lakes. The automotive industry there is imploding and massive unemployment is expected soon.

I would reccomend the west coast, particularly the Pacific Northwest, as California is a quite expensive place to live.

Very true, plus living in WA has been pretty cool. If you can put the weather aside (shouldn't be hard for a Red-coat) then it should be the way to go. A good moderate of people(except Eastern WA; stay the fuck out of there) the best price/quality of weed you will find in the US and Canada in case you want to do some legal drinking before 21!

I want to live in a nice state where it's warm most of the time.

Seriously, do not go to Florida. In the summer, the weather is so hot and muggy that going out of your air-conditioned apartment for a while is like taking a shower in your own sweat. Not to mention hurricane season. Hurricanes are a routine annoyance at best, and a property-damaging, life-threatening disaster at worst.
The winters are nice and warm but you also have to deal with old people going to their vacation homes, and we all know what kind of drivers they are.

If you're looking into staying in the US for the rest of your life, just know that you'll want to buy a house and not rent forever. In Western Europe, it's all together possible to rent for your entire life and live life decently. But in the US, the government doesn't really allow for that, especially once you get to retirement age. People who rent all of their lives are considered to be lower middle class or just outright poor.

Anyway, as an immigrant refugee, I agree with .>>71117
Point 3 especially.

Why not move to Canada or Australia? Is there anything in the US specifically that you have there (girlfriend, job prospect, education, etc.) that you can't do somewhere else?

Can't he still vote even if he moves to the U.S.? I thought the UK allowed that. Imo as someone who pays attention to european politics more than american politics (I'm american and our politics are so boring, two parties that pander to different ethnicities, fucking dull), it's pretty obvious that BNP = good choice for ethnic brits (not so much for asylum seekers, which really shouldnt be there anyways though).

OP, I'm in Texas in the Fort Worth/Dallas and I love it here. Avoid Houston like the plague, it's full of well... niggers. Also be sure to buy a gun, not that you'll neeed it, but everyone in Texas should have at least one. Preferably two. It's what makes us awesome, after all. That, and Big Tex + Texmex food. When looking where to rent/buy a home, be sure to drive by public schools when they get out and see what color the school kids are. If they're predominantly black and/or hispanic, you should consider not living there. It sounds racist, but it's a good general rule to go by.

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I mean that your retirement pay is likely not going to be enough to cover the cost of rent and all of your other expenses. Yes, I have met some older people who rent, but they don't have any plans to retire. The ideal situation for someone who is about to retire is to have a paid-off house so that they won't have to worry about rent every month.
In most of Western Europe the government invests more into retirement funds and tries to ensure that the elderly have affordable housing. In the US, not so much.

Yup. Good luck getting a work permit. I was married to my American husband for 3 years and still had to wait nearly a year to get one. If you only have a high school education, forget it.

I was holding off on saying this, but since it's already been said... if you have no marketable skills, only a high school degree, no employer sponsoring you - indeed, good luck obtaining that work visa. Not wanting to discourage you from your dreams, nonetheless i would obtain that work visa before you go, if you do not have the means to support yourself during the most likely very long time it will take to obtain working permission.

Help OP out here.
I agree with not going to florida. Big tourist spot. Unless you wanna work in a bar and like that kind of atmosphere.
Dont go to South Carolina either. Thats where I am.
LOTS AND LOTS of christfags, church every three feet, loads of niggers and spics(not nearly as much as florida and georgia) and I dont mean this racistly, I dont mind blacks. But these are the kind of black that want to kill you because your white, and they use to pick cotton for you.
The weather absolutely fucking sucks here. Humid as Hell.
oh and, Worst education and schools in the country. Thanks Leroy and Jamal.
Im thinking of moving to Colorado in a couple of months. I need to get away from my family and this location.

move to Orlando if you want the exact opposite type of weather you get now.

I agree with the Chicago thing. But I'd recommend Columbus rather than Cleveland. Columbus is doing quite nicely all-around. However, Detroit is a big fucking no-no.
