If you’re shaking in your boots like I am at the prospect of Trump running the country (AKA destroying it), fear not because I have created a list of places that is sure to have your back.

What sounds better than running away with your loved ones to a nice, remote island, far far away from Donald Trump if he were to have power over all of America? Nothing sounds better than that.

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this lost of 15 islands you can move away to if Trump becomes president.

1. Culebra

Culebra is located approximately 17 miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland and 12 miles west of St. Thomas with a population of just over 1,800.

2. Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a South Pacific Ocean nation made up of 80 islands. The islands offer scuba diving at coral reefs, underwater caverns and wrecks such as the WWII-era troopship SS President Coolidge. The population of the eight combined islands is roughly 252,763.

3. Penang

Relocating here to Penang, Malaysaia, is a relatively simple process because of Malaysia's "My Second Home Program." Deposit $90,000 in a local bank, and you can come and go as you please. Major residential projects have been developed recently.

4. Ambergris Caye

Life moves slowly on this tax-free, English-speaking island off Belize. Ambergris Caye is Belize's largest island and known for its Caribbean beaches, water sports and scuba diving. Transportation is by golf cart or bicycle on this remote island with a population of just over 13,000.

5. Anguilla

This island is a British overseas territory in the Eastern Caribbean. It is made up of a small main island and several offshore islets. With enough beaches to visit one per day for a month, it's no wonder people live to 100 here

6. Mallorca

The cost of living on this Spanish island is less than any other. With villas and homes available from around the mid-$300s, how could you not fall in love with this island in the Mediterranean?

7. Bocas Del Toro

This solid and small community in Panama organizes barbecues and beach outings year-round. There's no minimum age requirement to be considered a retiree and collect benefits in Panama either. I am also in love with their jungle lodges (homes) listed at under $200,000.

8. St. Thomas

This gateway island of the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean is known for its beaches, snorkeling and sport-fishing. Most flights into the Virgin Islands go through St. Thomas. It's popularity is hard to beat, with many stores and public transportation, which means more job opportunities for when you move there too! And the airport means more trips from friends and family back in the States.

9. Palau

Palau is an archipelago of more than 500 islands in the Pacific Ocean, well known for its scuba-diving and snorkeling sites. Most islanders speak English, and the currency is the U.S. dollar which would be the easiest and quickest move if Trump takes over!

10. Fiji

This country in the South Pacific, is made up of more than 300 islands, known for its rugged landscape of blue lagoons, palm beaches, and activities from mountain climbing, to surfing, to coral-reef diving and zip-lining.

11. Kauai


Kauai is an island in the mid-Pacific, part of the Hawaiian archipelago. It's nicknamed "the Garden Isle" thanks to the tropical rain forest covering much of its surface. It's no surprise that the average life expectancy on Kauai is among the best in the United States, due to it's natural setting and fresh foods.

12. Turks and Caicos


This low-lying coral island in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas, has eight airlines that offer nonstop service from the States, and tourism has created an excellent job market! Here you will find luxury resorts, shops and restaurants, scuba-diving sites include a 14-mile barrier reef on Provo’s north shore and a dramatic 2,134m underwater wall off Grand Turk island.

13. Maui

This island in the mid-Pacific is known for it's diverse geography, beach resorts, and outdoor activities (not to mention it's beautiful waterfalls and scenic, winding Hana Highway). Children can grow up in an exotic culture but still receive an education on par with that in major American cities (or better). Field trips embrace nature: whale-watching tours, hiking and snorkeling excursions.

14. New Zealand

You do not have to move right into the busy hub of New Zealand. People who move to the more civilized regions praise the good roads, mountain views, schools and health care system. But the biggest draw is the clean outdoors, which also means fresh organic foods and the freshest air.

15. Inishturk

Not quite like the rest, but this small Island in the county of Mayo, Ireland is actually expecting fleeing Americans if Donald Trump becomes president! This remote island has seen it's once thriving population plummet to just 58, with only three pupils attending the local primary school. So, why don't we all plan to go here and start a new life if Trump does run (destroy) American?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
