And to me that's sad.
There's so many different people and cultures - hell, even where I work, there's got to be five other languages I need to have some type of grasp on to get things done. But, so is this giant melting pot of America. Where the common people here think they're #1 and the whole world needs to learn English (another reason I want out: Missouri and Texas mentalities).
Which, by the way, I have friends in Croatia who read/write/speak with better English grammar than me. So, that's got to say something for them.

I've known people who I refer to as lifers that have lived in one spot their whole lives and think the entire US is the same. I think it just boils down to the fact they don't know that they don't know what they're missing. What ever it is that spurs you to ask whatever question it is about whatever thing just isn't there for them.

That's interesting, because not only can you not write English, but you've never been to Croatia. Osim toga, zasto bi itko zelio govoriti samo Engleski? If all you know is one language, then your world is a very, very small place.
Are you trying to pretend like you speak croatian and arabic? You can't use google translate on the whim in real life. No I don't speak one language.

Have you been to those countries? You might want to try that and see for yourself what it's like before making such a big change.

You could move somewhere and use your language to teach others English. But to start that, you need to be able to speak to them somehow haha

That's cute American pride. It also works the other way too bub, there's plenty of Americans that want to GTFO because they are sick of it. I've also traveled the world and I can completely see why people want to get the fuck out. We are... - a completely inept government that doesn't give a fuck about you - turning into a police state - have the biggest prison population on the planet - have one of the worst health care systems in the world, even though we have some of the best doctors.. you aren't seeing them unless you are rich. - we have little work/life balance, fewest amount of PTO compared to most any other country. - have some of the worst public schooling - we are for the most part, a shopping mall, fast food nation from coast to coast. - the quality of our food has gone steadily downhill - the list could go on
There's a lot of reasons to consider other countries. Even some 'shitty 2nd world' countries have it better than we do in many areas.
America isn't the best country in the world anymore.

Are they sick of it because they have spent time in other places and wish to live there? Or are they just gambling on it being better?
If you've spent your life growing up in america where the roads are wide and everything is big, it's hard to live in other places with out all of the cushy american comforts.

I can't speak for other people, but for me personally.. it was after having visited many other countries... seeing how their systems work and how they do things.. that I realized America isn't really all that great and other places have a much better overall quality of life.
Most Americans don't even have a passport and have never even left the country. That's considered very odd.. because most people everywhere have passports. That's part of why most Americans are so ignorant about other countries and cultures

I personally don't find not knowing the language a very high quality of life.
Hey everyone is in charge of themselves and everyone is different, I just don't want to see someone make a terrible mistake is all.

Eh, it depends where you go. English is spoken in the most countries in the world.. so it's not impossible to get by. And one can learn a new language pretty fast, living in the place.
But yeah I would agree.. I wouldn't just move somewhere without at least visiting first.

Morocco, Croatia and malta... not going to get very far on english. I would imagine the UK countries would be the best bet to simply pick of everything and move to, unless you have cultural ties to the 3 countries I listed.

The two things holding me back would be employment and language. I've just only mastered English at 23

I suspect that your idea of the "the world" is a few countries in W. Europe. "The world" includes all countries. These statements are not correct.
