If you're and American living in fear of the pending presidential election, then you've probably considered fleeing the country. Well if you're serious and want to immigrate across the pond, you should consider Ireland. Here are a few reasons to move to Ireland

1. It's beautiful

2. It's in the EU

Besides Northern Ireland (sorry guys).

3. Gun violence is rare

Especially compared to the States where we basically have a daily gun violence report on social media.

4. The people are friendly

Everyone tends to be witty, helpful and looking for a good time

5. There's great craic

Between sports, concerts and festivals, there is always something to do.

6. There's a pub around every corner

What's better than a pint of Irish beer or cider after a long day at work?

7. Affordable Housing

8. Public transport system in the city

You've got the bus, the Luis, and the Dart

9. You can walk every where

Depending on where you live, everything you need is usually in walking distance.

10. The weather

There are no droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes, and snow is rare. For the most, part the climate is fairly temperate. The forecast tends to be either raining or going to rain, but when it rains it's usually not long. But it's best to never leave the house without an umbrella.

11. Day trips

Ireland isn't very big, which makes day trips around the island relatively easy.
