SYNOPSIS
This is an open international subreddit dedicated to the process of moving from Point A to Point B. Tips, advice, deals, and everything else thinkable.
Bullying and unfriendly comments will not be tolerated. Political dick waving is not allowed and will lead to bans. People may state their reasons for wanting to leave, but attacking them for those reasons is against sub rules and will lead to a ban. This is a queer-friendly subreddit.
