I also wanna go to Texas. The people are so friendly up there.

Thank you for this helpful video! My husband and I are thinking about moving to Dallas from Germany.

I'm so glad this helps! We definitely love our life in Dallas. Very different, but very fun and comfortable. I have more videos about Dallas on my channel, and definitely let me know if you have any questions! I'm always happy to help.

BTW: I think if you're from Germany you do NOT have to do a drivers test, you can just pick up a Texas drivers license based on your German license. Germany is one of the only countries that does have a reciprocity agreement with Texas (or at least it was last year).

I live in Norway and I have wanted to move to Texas for so long. I really feel like I belong there even though I've never been there before, strange feeling.. I'll finish my bachelor's degree in 1 year and am really considering moving down. Do you have any good advice? Some of the things that are holding me back are whether I will find a job and how I will manage financially.

@@TOO-BO I get that! There’s definitely pro’s and cons but I find it very easy to love Texas. I think the first thing you want to figure out is your visa, you can’t just move into the US like you can move throughout Europe. I think your best chances are: working for a company in Europe that could send you as an expat, do another study (master degree?) and go on a student visa, or marry a US citizen haha. Another advice is to move to a big city because rural Texas is literally so remote and dusty! You can go on an ESTA for 90 days first to explore if it’s doable for you! Good luck

Hoeveel zou je salaris daar moeten zijn als je huis al wordt betaald door je werk en je hebt een gezinnetje van 3? Ik zou graag hierover eens meer informatie willen, ben benieuwd hoe dat voor jou was

Dat is moeilijk te zeggen omdat dagelijkse kosten (en belasting) heel erg afhangen van waar je woont en hoe je wil leven. Wij zaten midden in de stad en wilden gezond/biologisch eten en veel leuke dingen doen, dus dat is heel anders dan als je buiten de stad woont en niet veel wil of nodig hebt. Ik zou zeggen bepaal eerst een locatie, Google dan wat de gemiddelde prijzen zijn en hoeveel belasting je betaalt, dan kan je zelf een inschatting maken!
