Not a lot of Americans are aware of the fact that there are millions of Americans who choose to live abroad. Americans are considered much better at welcoming expats than moving abroad themselves, yet the State Department’s estimates that some 3 to 6 million Americans live abroad. Moving to a different country is no walk in the park, but it is possible and can be an amazing and refreshing change for yourself and your family. Here are some of the best and most interesting places to relocate to.
Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is a gem in eastern Europe. New comers enjoy a western life style and a liberal attitude, in stunning medieval architecture. In the country’s capital, Prague, you’ll find prices surprisingly low, compared to other European cities. Outside of Prague, you will find one of Europe’s most beautiful countryside environments to travel and relax in. You should encounter no problems when looking for reliable international relocation services to the Czech Republic.
Germany
Germany is great for American expats, as it is located right in the middle of Europe and you will easily find international relocation services to make your move easy. In Berlin, you will find a diverse and thriving expat scene, where the reasonably low costs of living meet a vibrant and booming hi-tech environment. In some neighborhoods you might hear more English spoken than German. Munich is also considered a great city to relocate to, as neighboring countries such as Austria and Italy are just a few hours’ drive away.
France
France’s top quality is its employment benefits. The average workweek is only 35 hours long, and you get 90 minutes break for lunch. You’ll drink wine alongside every meal and enjoy unpasteurized cheese. Besides the short workweek, employees in France are given 5 weeks of paid leave along with 12 federal holidays a year. International relocation services will help you enjoy great culture and restaurants, with some of the world’s best employment standards.
South Korea
Expats love South Korea for the metropolitan behemoth that is Seoul. The country’s capital holds its own entertainment, culinary and cultural varieties, as well as familiar pleasures from America. Seoul is one of the most modern cities in the world, with ultra-low crime rate and some of the best and fastest Wi-Fi connections. International relocation services are widely available for South Korea. Housing might be pricey, but other than that the cost of living is surprisingly low.
Sweden
Sweden is the home of beloved furniture store IKEA and the band ABBA. The country is open to expats and everybody speaks English. Compared to big cities in America, Sweden’s cost of living is not cheap. With that being said, the country has a strong economy and a lot of employment opportunities. Sweden also offers some of the world’s best education, healthcare and public services.
