Peering into a webcam, her face intermittently frozen over an iffy Skype connection in Medellin, Colombia, Lizz Quain was explaining not long ago why she uprooted her 9-year-old twins almost a year and a half ago to travel the world.
Ms. Quain, who is in her 40s, owned a children’s play cafe and preschool near Seattle before she renounced her American middle-class existence in August 2016, fed up with what she described as a stifling, consumerist culture.
Once Donald J. Trump was elected president, she made a common liberal refrain — “If Trump wins, I’m leaving the country” — reality, deciding not to return home with her daughters, Aubrey and Gabriella. After traveling through Asia and Europe, she is now figuring out how to start a business selling products through Amazon to finance the life of an itinerant-by-choice single mother.
“If the G.O.P. gets out of office, if our education system improves, if we get universal health care, I’ll move back to the States because we’ll get tired of traveling,” Ms. Quain said. But until that utopian day arrives, “We’re unplugging from the Matrix.”
The Quains are not the only family that has of late dispensed with the trappings of the American dream (house, school, career) and gone nomad. Hopping from one vacation rental to the next or piling into R.V.s, they have sold or rented out their homes and unloaded most of their possessions, financing their travels with savings or work done remotely.

“Where is Mr. Quinn?”
A window opened at the fertility clinic and “he came out in a plastic cup along with a turkey baster!”
Thereby increasing the average IQ of both the United States and her host countries.
Ms. Quain is a terrific role model and more Progressives should follow her example. Buh-bye!
“Mom, why do we live in a sh**hole?”
“Can we go back to America now?”
Stay Gone, honey. You are part of the PROBLEM-—NEVER part of the SOLUTION!!!
In a turkey baster somewhere in her sock drawer.
It’s ridiculous to leave because the head of a semi-democratic state changes. I guess they’d be pretty happy in Russia or Venezuela.
Who cares? Get out and stay out. By the way, turn in your passports. What a loser and hypocrite.
Wow, that is sad. Worse than watching it is having to PAY for that caca.

She couldn’t take one of America’s liberal bastions, Seattle.
Funny how they are not traveling in the middle east, africa or central america..

I moved to Central America right after Obama’s second election, but not BECAUSE of his election. I voted for Trump, and will again. I have been disparaged innumerable times, often on this forum, for that move. I’ve been called un-American, un-patriotic, a tax evader, a narco, even a child molester for my decision. None of those are true. I moved because half my family live here, and I’m in a better position to help them if needed from here than there.
I’m an American, and will always be American.
Contrary to the arrogant belief of some, people here are not frothing at the mouth to get into the United States. Most of those who are frantic to enter the US “paradise” are not the people you would want anyway, but they are the minority. I live in a beautiful rural setting among the Lenca/Maya people, and live much as they do, which would not suit the vast majority of Americans’ choice of lifestyle.
Please don’t berate ALL emigrants and expats merely for their choice to leave, not knowing their reasons and circumstances. Not all are raving leftist loons.
When will all of the celebrities who promised to move leave too?
She can thank liberalism, which is fueled by mindless bots known as democRATs, for our failed educational system.
Third world mongrels who have flooded our system, entitlement ghetto rats who cannot be disciplined, the equivalent of "participation trophies" in academics so that all students get to have a healthy self-esteem....... All this is because of liberals high jacking our schools.
She's a typically stupid liberal, not understanding what she's saying.
Slacker socialist seeks new grounds the hunt for free stuff never ends dies hungry.
