I am interested in living overseas and becoming an expat. I don't have a great job right now, no family obligations and I'm single. I have always wanted to explore more of the world and think it would be awesome to live overseas. I have traveled extensively but only ever lived in another country for 6 months, 20 years ago. I lived in Japan.

Any recommendations for the cheapest and easiest country to legally move to? By easy I mean, getting visas or other permissions. I prefer a warm tropical place. I would also like to find some form of work while there. Volunteering is cool but I would need to make some money. I speak basic spanish.

Mexico is one consideration but I have heard that it is a hassle for Americans to live there.

any suggestions?


Stay where you are... you all voted for this mess or refused to rise up and do anything about it so you get to reap what you sow... no other country wants Americans... on second thought, you say you speak some Spanish.. it seems pretty bloody obvious where you should go...... SOUTH!!!!
