Tens of thousands of Americans are looking into moving abroad after Donald Trump's presidential reelection. In the hours following the presidential race being called for the Republican nominee, nearly 30,000 people and counting visited the website for Expatsi, a travel company that offers scouting trips to help Americans move abroad. 'The exit is real'LaVerne Collins, 65, was visiting Portugal on a scouting trip with Expatsi when she learned of the presidential election results. "As an African American woman, my concerns about government stability and safety is heightened," she tells CNBC Make It. "I recognized that depending on how this election would go, things could become even more unstable."

When Jen Barnett and Brett Andrews started seriously thinking of leaving the U.S., they had a few parameters for their new home. "We say we have red state money — we don't have blue state money," Barnett, 52, tells CNBC Make It. In 2022, they visited Merida, the capital city of the Yucatan state in Mexico, and fell in love. They pay themselves a combined salary of $3,000 per month, "which is close to the average salary in Merida and covers our needs," Barnett says. Here's how some of the costs stack up between Alabama and Mexico.

Barnett says the amount of research she and Andrews poured into their relocation project prompted them to start their own travel company, Expatsi, to help other Americans explore their options to move abroad. Launching a travel company for American expatsBarnett and Andrews went back to basics to figure out what city to live in. In March 2024, Barnett and Andrews led a group of 30 Americans around Portugal for 10 days and Spain for 12 on their inaugural Expatsi scouting trip. Americans who dream of moving abroad are getting help from travel companies like Expatsi, which offers scouting trips to international cities. So far, Expatsi travelers have mostly been women ranging in age from 22 to 80 with a cluster around 40 to 65, Barnett says.

Then came the heat wave. But it is also a lifeline against increasingly brutal heat, the deadliest type of extreme weather. It allows people to live in places where temperatures push close to the limits of survivability and where extreme heat persists even at night. And many electrical grids are being pushed to a breaking point due to increasingly frequent extreme weather and soaring demand for cooling. Heat can affect vital organs and cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and even death.

She recently went on a 10-day scouting trip in Portugal with the travel group Expatsi. McGowan was part of the inaugural trip from Expatsi, a company that helps Americans move abroad through community groups and weeks-long guided scouting tours. The choose-your-own-stay model can help foster a stronger sense of community among the travel group. Expatsi hosted 30 Americans for a 10-day trip to Portugal and 12-day trip to Spain in May. She says she's still friends with some of the people she met while on the scouting trip while exploring on her own and thrift shopping — her hobby and side hustle.

Two Gen Xers who moved to Austria from the US said they had more freedom and fewer anxieties. But after some thought, the 53-year-old decided to move up his retirement plans and relocate to his wife's home country of Austria. Many Americans are moving to Austria recently for employment opportunities and to improve their quality of life. Austria also ranks in the top 10 globally for safety, healthcare, and infrastructure, which Barnett said was "super rare." "I don't have any interest in leaving Austria," Valentine said.

Half of wedding vendors say higher costs of goods, from food to flowers to gas, are driving them to increase their service prices. A growing share of couples are adding cash funds to their wedding registries — some even earmarked specifically to help pay for the wedding itself. But with their surprise wedding winnings, Moore estimates their wedding day will be valued at more than $16,500. Usually, couples who win the free services are asked to promote the businesses on social media, or to appear in their marketing materials online and elsewhere. Now a couple of years after her wedding, Brallier continues to shout out the vendors who gifted her and her husband, Jacob, 26, a dream wedding.

Another accuser, who was identified in court documents only as Christina B., said in the same statement that she was “devastated” that the jury had deadlocked on the charge that Masterson raped her in 2001 when they were in a relationship. About 20 or 30 minutes later, she felt “very disoriented,” the brief states. According to the brief, Masterson raped her after she regained consciousness on his bed. She reached for his hair to try to pull him off and tried to push a pillow into his face, the brief states. When Masterson heard a man yelling in the house, he pulled a gun from his night stand and told her not to move or to “say anything,” adding expletives, the brief states.

Her school did not teach sexual health education, and preventing pregnancy was a foreign concept. Previously, a 2017 report showed 58% of Texas school districts offered “abstinence-only” sexual health education, while only 17% offered curriculums that expanded beyond that. These changes in sex education come as the state ratchets down abortion access following the Supreme Court decision in June overturning Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion. In 2019, the Texas Board of Education began rewriting the health education standards that had been in place since the 1990s. Now, information about contraceptives, as well as more about STIs, is taught in middle school health classes, which are required.
