European here. Ah, here come the "I can live abroad so easily" threads.

No. You can't.

Your list tells me you haven't thought ANYTHING through. That sort of mentality doesn't bode well for living abroad, especially if you're not even going to bother to learn the language, and if, to you, the places you listed are interchangeable. The ignorance and entitlement are MIND-BOGGLING.

it’s so true. I think a lot of Americans think they can just walk into another country and start living there and it’s simply no big deal. Guess what? You won’t believe me but most other country’s have immigration policies that are actually stricter than ours here in the US.[/quote]

The other thing with people who just spontaneously leave is that they don't adapt well.  Having done no research, sometimes only having been to the country for one or two 1 week visits, not speaking the language and all of a sudden they are confronted with a bureaucracy they don't understand, grocery stores they can't navigate, foods they can't find, repairs that they don't know how to deal with, they get frustrated, hate the place, complain that "this isn't the way we do things in [fill in the state]" and then they leave.

I love living overseas and I will retire overseas.  But it is a challenge.  If you expect it to be easy and seamless, think again. [/quote]
