For those who’ve lived in both Europe and the USA, I would like to hear your take. What do you love about each place, and what drawbacks have you noticed? Whether it’s the Old World charm of Europe or the dynamic lifestyle in the USA, spill the beans. In the end, what was the game-changer that made you pick one over the other and if you could share the decision-making behind your preferred choice.
I love the walkability, the social culture, quality of healthcare and low violent crime. In the US my daughter’s school had several lock downs because of an active shooter and one student who was a self proclaimed white nationalist said he was going to shoot up the school and posted videos of himself on Facebook shooting in the woods with a confederate flag draped. I lived in a predominantly white suburb just outside of a military base in a DC suburb. I’m glad I don’t have to raise anymore kids in the US and sad that people think this is normal or dismiss these things as being “woke”. The politics in France isn’t perfect but it is less toxic and polarizing. The food is also better and has helped me heal from my autoimmune disorders
