Why Americans are Deciding to Move Abroad
Affordable and Better Quality of Life
In countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Latin America, Americans are finding a better quality of life for under $2,500 a month. Affordable living, great healthcare, and vibrant cultures make life abroad more fulfilling and accessible.
Increased Safety
With 83 school shootings in the U.S. in 2024, safety is a growing concern. Europe, with fewer such incidents, lower crime rates, and reliable services, offers a safer, more stable environment for families.
Better Healthcare and Better Food
Europe offers affordable, high-quality healthcare, a stark contrast to the high costs and limited access in the U.S. Reliable systems and universal coverage make it a top choice for those seeking better care and peace of mind.
Easy Visa Processes, Less Stress and More Freedom
Europe’s slower pace of life, better work-life balance, and strong social systems offer Americans a chance to escape the daily grind and enjoy more freedom and peace of mind. Plus, many countries have easy visa processes, making relocation even simpler.

Hi, I am Shawna, I help Americans permanently move Abroad to Europe and Latin America.
When I first studied abroad in Bilbao, Spain in 2015, I knew my life would never be the same. The culture, the food, the immersion and the quality of life was out-of-this world. Once you live in Europe it is hard to go back. I did go back to work in a corporate job in the USA, which I didn’t like… so I decided to leave after 1.5 years and come back to Europe. Now I call Barcelona my home and I love to show others how to make the move abroad in my Free Abroad in a Year Masterclass. Make sure to register for my next one before spots fill up!
