Thinking about moving to Europe? It's packed with cultural experiences and a laid-back vibe, but you need to consider both the upsides and the downsides. Europe offers affordable living, great public transportation, and solid socialized healthcare. Yet, in hot spots like Portugal, Italy, Spain, and Germany, the cost of living has been climbing, which can be a big hurdle. The ease of travel and the opportunity to soak in diverse cultures are huge pluses, but over-tourism in big cities and bureaucratic hassles can be tough. Understanding these can be key to making the most of the European lifestyle and your expat life. In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter hosted by Rafael Di Furia, we'll go over the rising costs in popular destinations, the benefits of efficient public transport, access to socialized healthcare, the impact of over-tourism, and European bureaucracy.
