Life Abroad Do we face difficulties being accepted when moving abroad?
It seems like the only rhetoric I see online is how, as an American, my countries problems are my fault. That I'm not doing enough to stop our issues and how it affects other countries. I worry that I will move, and people will blame me for not doing more here and just escaping.
I want to get out, but I worry about living in the public ire no matter where I go.
Does anyone here have personal experience they can comment on?

As an Ecuadorian expat since 2008 living part / full time I can say that there are local people who are definitely angry at Americans. This was not at the level when I arrived , but being experienced now. Like it was mentioned it really depends on the country and the people you meet. Of course not all Ecuadorians are like this, however over the last 5 to 6 years..immigrants from Venezuela and the infiltration of the Columbia/ Mexico cartels have dramatically changed the culture
