Are you ready to flee Trump's America? The New York Daily News is here to help.
Following a successful Super Tuesday for Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, many Americans are ready to flee the country. Google searches for "How can I move to Canada?" spiked by 350 percent late Tuesday evening, according to Google data engineer Simon Rogers.
But if you're eager to expatriate, Canada's not your only option, as the New York Daily News helpfully noted in its "complete guide to fleeing President Donald Trump's America," published on Wednesday.
"The first step of any great escape plan," writes author Meg Wagner, is "picking a destination." Her top choice is Singapore for its cosmopolitanism and health care system. Ecuador is a good option for affordability, Austria for safety, and Mexico for a relatively familiar culture (despite what Trump himself has to say). Wagner also offers logistical advice and suggestions for how to settle into your new, Trump-free home abroad.
