I would not… 10 years ago I left the big city I used to live in (and where I was born: Milan, Italy) to move to the French Riviera! I have nice house less than a 100m from the beach, sea view… and in France we work 35h a week with 35 days of vacation a year! It was great already before telework… now it is simply amazing!
I'm actually surprised that American remote tech folks aren't pouring into Europe where the quality of life is an order of magnitude better (especially on a US salary). And it's especially more viable now with all the digital nomad visas.
If you can avoid the tax exposure and live there on US salary, it can be great.
Realistically, as a US Citizen you're only allowed to stay in EU (Schengen) countries for 90 days for every 180 day period, unless you get one of these digital nomad visas and have a self-sustaining business to make the move.
I think that the average american (USA) has no idea how good is the life in Europe.. They think we are all communists or they are very affectionated to the USA life style
They truly have no clue! Money ain’t everything… and with all the benefits we get from the government you can live with pretty high standards with half the salary of US worker!
