Re: Try finding that in America. (Great healthcare)
I found out about CrowdHealth through Paul and in a big fan. It’s around $160/month and is comprehensive coverage with $500 deductible per issue plus a bunch of perks. Works for emergencies in other countries.
Ugh agreed on absolutely everything (writing from the car that I very reluctantly purchased upon moving back to the US). I feel so at home in European cafes, but there’s a flavor of American hippie-ism that feels especially like home that I haven’t found in Europe.
I just packed up my remaining things in Portugal. I cried the whole time, sad to give up a continent I adore. And yet I love America’s wildness (what happened to Europe’s insect population??), and love itself made the call for me.
What are we to do, blessed with good options and blessed to be able to spend time in both? 🤷♀️
Looove this. As an American living for 15 yrs in EU I’d say you are spot-on! We just completed a road trip of US, 15 national parks, and my cathedral can be found in the Great Basin indeed. And the friend thing… yep! Love my EU peeps but this US trip has reminded us that small talk and the possibility of new friendships rein in ‘Merica… cafes, grocers, neighbors… And homeschooling in the US is smooch easier…. More resources and bigger numbers. We are debating where to move as our kids enter the tween years
Love this <3 I feel like you really do justice to both regions.. Also congratulations on your new book! I am a GenXer who will LOVE reading it. To me, does not feel like it's just for the youngest adults but for anyone who is inspired by you and your unique way of life.

That's fantastic beta, thanks Chris

Great comparisons!
Wonder how you compare the education systems (preschool to high school) ?
