How I see the US after living in Europe for 5 years
What is America like after experiencing life in Europe? BIG. Consumerism. Gun violence. The homeless. The police. What do you do for work?
This is how I see the US after living in the Netherlands for 5 years. Sometimes it takes leaving a place for one to truly understand the pros and cons of a place. There are things I love and dislike about the US. Hope you enjoy this short movie!

What I Dislike About USA After 6 Years Living Abroad ????????
After living abroad in 4 countries and traveling to 85 here's what I dislike about the USA (video shot on January 24, 2021). Also, check out my VIDEO ABOUT WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE USA HERE: Many of you have asked about the health insurance I was talking about in the video. Here's the deal, you need to reside outside of the US for more than 6 months of the year. If you do it's pretty sweet insurance.

FIRST TIME IN SWEDEN (Stockholm blew my mind!) ????????
Our first time in Stockholm, Sweden surprised us!
We were blown away by the beauty of Stockholm, especially the old town in Gamla Stan.
We visited the most incredible museum, the Vasa Museum, and were lucky to catch the changing of the guard ceremony at the Royal Palace. We then had some lunch, and tried some traditional Swedish food like the famous Swedish meatballs (not at Ikea), and stromming (not surströmming).
We also ended the day with some delicious Swedish fika.

After living in Switzerland for one year. 3 things I like and 2 I do not.
Unfortunately the contest is now over.????
Berdie Powell takes home the Bug A Salt!
Thank you all for entering!
There are a lot of things to love about living in Switzerlandut there are also a lot of things that are not so great. so today we are talking about three things that I love about Switzerland and two that I do not. Wait I forgot. Today we are also giving away this Bug a Salt gun. Number one. The outdoors. Switzerland is the most beautiful place that I have ever been to. the way the mountains look with the lakes and everything. It is just so pretty. Pictures do not do this place justice. But fortunately, you don't just have to look at pictures in Switzerland there are so many ways to get outdoors. There is hiking there is biking there is rockclimbing everywhere. There are these via ferratas that go up the rock faces also if you are not quite into rock climbing, you can go paragliding. If you name it Switzerland has got it. If you are not into this whole exercising thing you can go on these trams that go up the mountain. or these cable cars or the faries that go on the lakes. There is no reason that you cannot get outdoors in Switzerland it is amazing. If you live in Switzerland and you are not getting outside you are making a bad life decision. Why would you even live in Switzerland if you are not getting outside? that is the number one reason to live in Switzerland. It is so amazing. Switzerland is old. There are a lot of old buildings there are a lot of old towns and old roads, and really old history. If you are from Europe then this is just normal but I am From the USA. And in the US if you just go back a few hundred years history descends into a mystery. We don't really know what was going on in the USA 1000 years ago. History is one of my favorite parts about living in Switzerland. If you are visiting a castle or something it is crazy to think about all of the people that came before you that put in that work to build these structures. We don't remember most of their names. It is kind of humbling to think about. Number 3. Switzerland is a tinny little country that is l
Es gibt viele Dinge, die man am Leben in der Schweiz lieben sollte, aber es gibt auch viele Dinge, die nicht so toll sind. Heute sprechen wir über drei Dinge, die ich an der Schweiz liebe, und zwei, die ich nicht liebe. Warten Sie, ich habe es vergessen. Heute verschenken wir diesem Bug auch eine Salzpistole. Nummer Eins. Draußen. Die Schweiz ist der schönste Ort, an dem ich je gewesen bin. wie die Berge mit den Seen und allem aussehen. Es ist einfach so hübsch. Bilder werden diesem Ort nicht gerecht. Aber zum Glück muss man sich in der Schweiz nicht nur Bilder ansehen, es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, ins Freie zu kommen. Es gibt Wandern, es gibt Radfahren, es gibt überall Klettern. Es gibt diese über Klettersteige, die die Felswände hinaufsteigen, auch wenn Sie nicht ganz auf Klettern stehen, können Sie Paragliding betreiben. Wenn Sie es nennen, hat die Schweiz es. Wenn Sie sich nicht für dieses ganze Training interessieren, können Sie mit diesen Straßenbahnen den Berg hinauf fahren. oder diese Seilbahnen oder die Faries, die auf den Seen fahren. Es gibt keinen Grund, warum man in der Schweiz nicht draußen sein kann. Es ist erstaunlich. Wenn Sie in der Schweiz leben und nicht nach draußen kommen, treffen Sie eine schlechte Lebensentscheidung. Warum würden Sie überhaupt in der Schweiz leben, wenn Sie nicht nach draußen kommen? Das ist der Hauptgrund, in der Schweiz zu leben. Es ist so unglaublich. Die Schweiz ist alt. Es gibt viele alte Gebäude, es gibt viele alte Städte und alte Straßen und wirklich alte Geschichte. Wenn Sie aus Europa sind, ist das ganz normal, aber ich komme aus den USA. Und in

THE AMERICAN DREAM IS ALIVE... In Sweden?!
#AmericanDream #Sweden #SwedishCulture
The American Dream is dead, at least that's what a lot of people say anyway. What is the American Dream? What happened to the American Middle Class? And Why is the American Dream alive in Sweden? In this video I discuss the origins of the American Dream, and why some achieving upward mobility is more realistic in some European countries. Finally, I'll show you why the American Dream is alive and well in Sweden.

This city in Sweden surprised us! (Gothenburg is not boring!) ????????
First impressions of Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden.
Gothenburg is Sweden's second biggest city. But to be honest, we didn't expect anything out of the city. The reason we came was to watch the Frölunda HC hockey match, and thought the city itself would be boring.
But we were surprised to find how lively and vibrant the city was. We were delighted to walk around the city centre, and had Swedish fika at the Haga district.
