[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the timeline? Can you wait? The anti-American sentiment is incredibly strong right now all over Europe  - European here. It's borderline hate. [/quote]

Do.you have evidence of that directed to actual individuals? Have a few friends who have gone over the last few months, said it was fine. Sure may have gotten a couple of comments about Trump, etc, but not directed at them in any way, and only in passing. Other posts here have said the same.[/quote]

This is the problem with Americans, 100% delulu. You have at least 2 Europeans here telling you that everyone can't stand you and you say it's fine because someone traveled for a week there. Of course it was fine, they want you to spend your money and gtfo. [/quote]

Okay, well, how do you think we feel about Europeans who come here?  People travel now.  They don't really care how people feel about it in the countries they settle in.  It's not up to them.  We don't anticipate that we'll be magically accepted, but we're living in a burgeoning dictatorship, so, you know, we're looking for options.  Get some compassion.[/quote]

We are a younger, non white family doing an ex pat stint and have found most Europeans to be very open to us staying and less racist than Americans actually. I am a born and raised Washingtonian and have never lived anywhere else and i find this shocking since i was sure it would be the other way around. Ppl really understand the desire to flee the USA and find it strange that we’d want to go back.   I wish Spain still had their visa scheme. I will only move back b/c one of my kids misses their friends and our house.  The other one is looking at intl programs and i dont think will ever move back stateside.  It’s not trump per se- i think they think that American society is disfunctional and expensive.  [/quote]

You’ll also move back because you can’t qualify for an EU visa or passport. [/quote]
