How I See The US After 8 Years in Europe
After more than 16 years living abroad, with the last 8 years living in Europe, the differences between life in the U.S. and life in Europe have continued to become even more blatantly obvious while watching a shifting landscape back in the U.S. In this week's expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, hosted by Rafael Di Furia, we’ll get into everything from moving abroad and expat life in Italy and Portugal, to how living in Europe compares to American consumerism, cultural shifts, cost of living, healthcare, travel, and day-to-day life.
