For years, Americans thinking about moving to Europe heard the same advice: Portugal is cheap. Spain is affordable. Try Eastern Europe. Look at Croatia, Greece, or the Balkans.

But Europe has changed.

In this episode of The International Moving Podcast, Your Guide to Living in Another Country, we take a fresh look at what “affordable Europe” really means today.

We talk about destinations that were once famous for being inexpensive, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, and other parts of Central and Eastern Europe.

The big question is no longer simply, “Where is the cheapest place to live in Europe?”

A better question may be:

Where can you build the lifestyle you want at a cost you're comfortable with, and what tradeoffs are you willing to make?

We discuss how choosing a smaller city, moving inland instead of living on the coast, living outside a capital, relying more on the local language, or accepting fewer international conveniences can sometimes make a European lifestyle considerably less expensive.

We also look at an important distinction between being a tourist and actually living somewhere year-round. A beautiful destination may look affordable during a vacation, but housing, transportation, healthcare access, flights, employment, and everyday convenience can change the equation once you become a resident.

If you're considering retiring in Europe, working remotely overseas, relocating with your family, or simply looking for a different way of life, this episode will help you think beyond the old lists of “cheap countries.”

The goal isn't necessarily to find the cheapest place.

It's to find the right place.

And once you decide where you want to live, SDC International Shipping can help you plan how to move your household belongings there.
