All I know is I had a permanent smile the whole year I was in Europe. The problem was, doing business is so hard when it doesn't come naturally as it does in my home country. It's FOREIGN land with FOREIGN etiquette and FOREIGN laws. Not easy to navigate!! (And I know the language) I'd also like to add the female aspect. Not many female protection laws like there is in Canada so there's a safety aspect as well that was questionable at times. Men ask you openly for sex. In Canada it's not like that in my experience men will ask you out first and be a bit more flirty, then they try to make a move but women generally have the upper hand so men are more careful in the way they handle women. In Europe they're blunt. It was a bit off putting. Try navigating that when you're not used to it!! It was exhausting and I'm 53. So I was suprised it was a minefield. Other than that, I would rather be there and married. They seem to leave the wives alone.

Would say it is better to try to build a nest egg of savings before living in Europe. Most sustainable approach is to try to find some skilled employment there first if you're in your 30's. These are the prime working years that you are able to save for the future. Then try to buy some real estate there and you're set - - no more paying rent.
