Since this wasn’t apparent the last time I asked… no, I’m actually not a US citizen or green card holder (permanent resident). Just happened to be in this country for a long time due to career reasons.
Visit some of the National Parks, aka America’s best idea.
Some amazing ones (they’re all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:
- Yosemite
- Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
- Yellowstone
- Grand Tetons
- Glacier
- Denali
- Olympic
Grand canyon isn’t even on here, I’m disappointed
Bryce canyon is superior for a day trip. Grand Canyon isn’t really that beautiful unless you can hike or ride down into it.
hard disagree
If you’re in Utah then I suggest Lower Antelope Canyon as well
Not in Utah, but close enough.
Mbad ur right. It’s near paige arizona. My last trip there I kinda went back and forth between arizona and utah so things got blurred
Freeze your credit profiles
This is what I mean:
https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/credit-freeze/
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/08/why-where-you-should-you-plant-your-flag/
Basically put your electronic identify in a freezing unusable state so that in the off chance you must return, you don’t return to a nightmare. Just don’t forget your passwords and pins.
Obviously this is entirely dependent on where you’re moving to, but I struggled to find the following when living abroad:
- good (American-style) pizza
- good Mexican food
- good BBQ
- certain ice cream flavors (like cherries jubilee/cherry garcia)
- wide open spaces completely devoid of people
- large-group events of a boisterous and goofy nature
- certain types of museums/educational facilities (such as good zoos/wildlife rehab open to the public and interactive science museums)
You will not find good bbq. Take the L and move on…
You will find the greatest cuisine ever witnessed on this planet depending on your taste.
A clay pot in Morocco, a grandma’s house in Toledo, a random eel cooked up in Tunisia…
Just as good as byob bbq in Austin TX.
I think that’s a myth. I’ve had the best BBQ in Houston and it’s the same as a BBQ joint here in Calgary.
I had some crazy good barbecue in Tokyo.
Korean bbq is the shaznatz.
That’s different! And awesome. Slow cooking over hours is dif from sear that bad boy at the table…
But shit they are both tasty…
I hear to find the best BBQ in Texas you need to find a restaurant attached to a rinky-dink gas station.
“Calgary”
Don’t be taking trash…
Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s called Toolshed and they make competition style BBQ. It’s really amazing.
Let’s bring it!
I also like to think the downvotes mean I have awakened some sort of Calgary dragon… don’t get me started on how Edmonton Oilers are supreme.
Oilers? Didn’t you say not to bring up trash? 😁
Son?!
Get an FBI background check, and get it apostilled. Easy to do from your local post office in the US, difficult and expensive to do outside the us, and you will need it for many things you might want to do in other countries
This is a pretty important step!
Yes. But im not allowed to say it. But you most definitely should
Mario sees you
Someone needs to
Get a few public library cards. Then abroad you can use it to borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free.
Libraries are not a US only thing.

I have to renew mine in person every 3 years or so.
Yosemite
Grand Canyon
Yellowstone
Avenue of the Giants
Add to this list any national parks you were thinking about visiting. After this administration, they may not be around anymore.
Go to a country which is better than the US. So skip North Korea, Somalia, Palestine. Then you’re good.
Honestly, if you have a chance go to Washington DC the museums are beautiful. If you’re leaving permanently, you probably will never see them again.

Yeah, fucking over some wageslave by making them clean that up really sends a message to the country. TF, man.

Take me with?
Hard to come up with non-joke suggestions without knowing the locale. Seattle? Un Bien. Las Vegas? The Double Down Saloon. San Francisco? Smitten. Portland? Powell’s books.
Generally? Grab a pebbled ice machine and turn the lights off on your way out.

Set it on fire & dip. Jk… unless?
It being the entire country?
You decide
California: “way ahead of you bro”
Were you just on H1-B status the entire time?
I… don’t quite feel comfortable sharing the full details, but F-1; I have submitted a green card application too but no way it’s gonna pass now. I might find an opportunity to write about it a bit more in the future
Oh no worries, I was just curious as someone who’s familiar with the process. No need to elaborate further if you’re not comfortable sharing. Good luck with your future endeavors!
