Feeling suffocated by the Trumpster Fire? The door to a better life is always open.

Donald Trump's America feels less like the land of the free and more like a quickly spreading dumpster fire. If you've ever thought, ""Maybe it's time to think about getting out of the US..."" this book is your roadmap to moving abroad.

The Trumpster Fire Escape Almanac blends biting political commentary with practical guidance for Americans considering living overseas. Part escape manual, part statistical almanac, it helps you answer the real questions about leaving America.

Where can I live without my blood pressure spiking at every headline? Which countries welcome expats with decent healthcare, affordable living, and functional democracy? How do visas, taxes, language, and safety stack up in 99 countries and nearly 500 cities worldwide? What's the difference between running away and choosing a better life?

With data pulled from the World Bank, CIA Factbook, UN, and more, this unique relocation guide offers both the facts and the comic relief you'll need to plan your expat life. Whether you're a retiree, a digital nomad, or just someone who can't breathe through the smoke anymore, this book shows you how to scout, select, and settle into your new homeland.

Thomas Pained, like Silence Dogood (Benjamin Franklin) and Harrington (Benjamin Rush), is a nom de plume. Through studies for four degrees in three fields, travels to 24 countries on five continents, and more than six decades of relentless aging, Thomas has learned both much more and much less about the world than he wished for. After retiring from the biotech industry, he co-founded an educational charity in Guatemala, where he spends several weeks every year. Thomas currently lives somewhere in the Southeastern US, but if it pleases the Consul General of Otherland, he will soon be sipping Otherlandish wine while his 3D printer whirs in the background.
