The US is facing an unprecedented decline in tourism revenue in 2025, standing alone among major global economies in this downturn largely due to the impact of the America First policy.
I used to think I might become a snowbird, but since 2016 I found the US visibly declined every year, and that accelerated sharpy during COVID and of course far more so now. Needless to say I’m not going in the short term, and I’m not hopeful the country will still exist in the long term.
florida, was a favorite destination for canadian snowbirds, but the state is sinking into the ocean, plus desantis wouldnt do anything about hurricane related infastructure/insurance. and then theres the overwhelming amount of invasive species that florida has, and many people base thier “Exotic pets operation there” for a reason. if florida dint have climate that resembles central and south america subtropica/tropical climate, it will be another run of the mill texas, lousiania or alabama.
I’d prefer a retirement destination with a statistically insignificant chance of being murdered or kidnapped. Costa Rica is much higher on my list than Mexico.

That’s what Mexico is for. And the food is better.

The food is really, really good, though…
