At the start of this year I decided to relocate.

Not as an expat. As an immigrant.

That distinction matters. Most resources for people leaving the U.S. are built around one goal: replicating the American experience somewhere cheaper or sunnier. That's not what I'm trying to do. And finding support for life beyond the supremacy myth has already revealed how few structures exist for someone leaving the U.S. who isn't trying to take the U.S. with them.
