I’m new, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this.

I’ve been becoming increasingly depressed with my life here in the states. I have been reading and watching a lot more ML stuff and I’ve been getting interested in some of these countries and I have been thinking about the possibility of moving to one. But there’s a lot to think about and a lot to do to move to another country, especially one where I don’t already have friends/family. So I was hoping people could give me some advice on this.

• What kind of things should I consider to decide whether or not to move?
• How do I decide where specifically to move? (I’ve been most interested in Vietnam, but I’m open to considering other options.)
• What kind of things do I need to do to actually make the move happen? What are some resources I could use to make this easier?
• What kind of things do I have to think about as an immigrant? How do the social services work for them?
• Once I’m there, what are ways to get settled into the local community?
• Any notes on job stuff? I’m not 100% sure what I’d do. I read English teaching is a potential job. I also went to college, but honestly my education is kind of all over the place and I don’t have much job experience.
• A bit of a stretch, but are there any lemmy comrades already living in any of these places who would be willing to get to know me once I’m there?

Also, semi-related: Any recommendations on language learning services? I was trying out one app for Vietnamese that another place recommended, but it turned out to not really be as effective as I had hoped.
