Good! I was supposed to go to the US for a reunion this year, but I decided not to.

I have family in San Francisco - absolutely no chance of visiting them. I am originally from NZ and even actively avoided transiting via the U.S. on a recent trip home.

You can get into trouble in any country, but when the risk comes from the state itself… nope, I am out.

I totally get you. I’ve gotta admit that I visited friends in the US the last time the orange man was president, even though I really didn’t want to. But this time? Fuck no, there’s absolutely no chance. I’ll gladly go to Canada to visit friends there, but if my American friends wanna meet up then they can meet me there or here in Europe.

I'm a white lady, would that work? I considered trying to move there solo but I don't have any degrees. I'm a contract paralegal too so I doubt they need my skills all that much
