"Imagination is not enough. You have to have knowledge too, and an experience of the oddity of life."
Anything you'd be running from here is already a problem in the world at large, i.e. anti-globalist and nationalist trends. What little world travel I did, despite going through the effort to learn the language and culture of where I traveled to first, did not impress on me the stability of other regions and governments. Its also easy to underestimate the degree to which our familial and friendly support networks cushion and assist us.

Things aren't bad enough here for me to want to take that gamble. The rule of law isn't perfect here but it is absentee in parts of the developing world where a non-independently wealthy expatriate may try and go to stretch what wealth they have, and the developed countries largely don't want our expatriates unless they can pay their way all the way to the grave.
