Question by Joshua: I’m aquiring dual citizenship and will soon have the option to live/work in Europe. Any suggestions of where?
My citizenship will be for Ireland, but since they are part of the EU, I will have the freedom to work and live in any of those countries. Which country would you suggest and why? And what, in your opinion, are some Pros and Cons of living in Europe vs. the United States? Please feel free to be as detailed as you like — I really, really appreciate this!

I don’t know about Ireland, but I heard that their economy is doing well at the moment. I’d discourage you to move to Italy, since we’re not going well nowadays (low incomes, high cost of life, especially housing). I have friends in Germany and the standard of living is slightly better there.
Pros and Cons? We have less crime, free health care and more vacations (generally speaking) than in the US. On the other hand, lower wages and higher unemployment.
Good Luck

Joshua,i am in the exact the same position, except that I am a citizen of EU. Honestly, i was looking at Brussels, Norwegian countries. I am not too crazy about UK,Ireland because there are so many immigrants and it’s harder to survive especially in London area. Foreigners are discriminated against the British, wages and the cost of living are not very compatible (again in London). I am thinking myself, the only advantage of UK or Ireland is their main language is English. Other countries, you will have to learn local language. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at nastushka@hotmail.com
I am weighing out my opportunities also to leave the States and explore EU.
Hope it helps. 😉
