Political problems in US want to move

I have visited Australia before and loved it. I would really like to move there and thought I would ask for advice. Any positive or negative information is good because I would like to hear from both sides.
the reason why I ask is bc:
I feel that the US is no longer a United country. We have loss all our strength because we have not stayed true to our founding values. I feel it is a matter of time before we implode on ourselves. It's not that I hate America because I don't, I am so proud to be an American. I just feel that the government/war situation is going to get worse. The government is making changes and I think the American people won't realize this till it is too late. Any advice? Aussies your advice would be much appreciated too :) thanks

Hi there - I'm an American who's lived in Australia for nearly 4 years now.

Don't blame you at all for feeling the way you do about the state of affairs in the US today... however, I must say that making an international move involves a much bigger change than just the political climate. You're not just changing countries, you're changing your WHOLE LIFE. The good and the bad. Australia is not just a more pleasant version of America.. many people who move here go through a painful adjustment period and have to deal with a host of new problems. Some people never adjust, especially to the distance from family/friends in the USA.

It's kind of hard to give general advice on such a broad topic as "living in Australia"... perhaps the first step would be to do some research on your own. Visit the "Yanks Down Under" website (Google it) and have a look at the wealth of information on that site...and talk to the people there too.

Good luck!

:cheers:
