5 Favorite Countries African Americans Moved To | The 5

Great video but...Please STOP telling Americans that they can move to a foreign country and “get away with speaking English.” The last thing we need is to export ignorance. The “Ugly American” stereotype is (unfortunately) real. If one decide to move to a foreign country, it is one’s responsibility to learn their language and customs. It is no ones responsibility to speak English for you.

I have lived overseas for the last 22 years!! If more people got over their fear of living somewhere different, they would probably not wanna live in America again!!! I'm doing just fine without Walmart and Olive Garden. lol

1) Panama 2) Mexico 3) Portugal 4) Costa Rica 5) Ghana

I moved to Portugal 🇵🇹 and love it here.

I moved to Spain and have been here for 4 years and it was the best decision I've ever made. I learned Spanish, got married and never looked back.

Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy?

I’m living on rice and peas until I get out of debt and I’m out of here!

I just want to live somewhere with a reasonable cost of living, access to Fresh local fruit and veggies for cheap, and where I can meet other like-minded individuals. From this list, Portugal and Mexico seem like the best fit.

Rule #1: Move to places where at least half the population looks like you.

I’ve been in Colombia the past 5 years and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon

Costa Rica/ Panama combination calling my name. Great list!

The houses & neighborhoods are always missing from these type videos.

I relocated to Enugu Nigeria & I’m happy with my decision! I show a lot of exciting things on my YouTube channel Your favorite Philly girl 🇺🇸 in Enugu, Nigeria 🇳🇬

“Just because your born somewhere doesn’t mean your stuck there. ” making this a motto

I'm not living in another country but I've traveled around the world. My husband was born in France. I strongly suggest not planning to move to a country without learning the language at least on a basic level. You will have less chances of being taken advantage of if you find yourself in an area where folks don't speak English. I also strongly suggest anyone moving to France to learn the language. In some circles folks may know English but refuse to speak it. In most areas outside of Paris you will have problems maneuvering without knowing the language. Learning another language lets people know you really care about their culture.

I come from a military family, served 21 years in the military, and lived in almost every country on earth! I chose to become a permanent resident of Costa Rica, and buy a beachfront home on the Pacific Side. I am of means. However, I actually live off 20% of my monthly cash flow. Yes, Costa Rica is a bit more expensive. But returns, safety, healthy environment, healthy foods, friendly people, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. When I visit family and friends in the Police State of America, I only feel comfortable visiting 2 weeks, because of the stressful national environment.

He not lying about Panama and Costa rica! My fam and I went to both countries and freakn loved it...LOOOOOOOVVVVVED IT!!! The people are gorgeous, food is delicious, and he was so right you won't be bored! Matter of fact when this covid is straight we are already talkn about going back! I tell you it's so beautiful to see ppl that look like you and we felt so comfortable it was awesome!!! 🇵🇦 🇨🇷 🥰😍🤩✊🏾

Let me just toss in my two cents' worth. It's all well and good to be able to get by on English, but if you're going to live in a country where the official language is something else, and classes in that country's language are available and don't charge anything (as is often the case), it is the height of irresponsibility and laziness on your part to ask a country you are moving to to continue accommodating you in your language. Take the classes. Do the work. Surround yourself with the language and learn it.

I’m looking at Portugal for me and my son. I’m setting things up so I hope we can move in 3 years.

Man I can vouch for Portugal. Visited old lisbon before Covid-19 hit. I never felt so free. Police didn't so much acknowledge my existence except to give directions. The food and culture was beautiful. We caught a world music festival that rival anything in the states. And for good measure. I even caught ANGELS on my phone while taking pics inside and outside of the church called PANTEAO NACIONAL. Just BEAUTIFUL!
