I never thought of myself as someone who runs away from my problems. I always thought of myself as someone who flies away from them. That’s why, the day after Donald Trump’s re-election, I decided to move abroad. I didn’t care where. I just needed to get out of Washington, D.C., where I had lived for 20 years, and ideally out of the United States, where I had lived for 44—and as soon as possible.
This had not been my plan. In fact, it was the opposite of my plan. Before the election, I tweeted this advice: “If you’re thinking of fleeing the country if Trump wins, don’t. We need more sane, responsible voters in this country, not fewer.”
