Born in London, UK, in 1944, yes WWII, came to USA after the war for better opportunities back then. My Father was from Germany before the war, and my Mother, from Zurich, Switzer- land Switzerland 🇨🇭 a very nice place. My Mother knew the Swiss German dialect, which was helpful visiting it. My parents and I visited a good part of western Europe in 1972 and 1979. My German is good having grown up with it from home and study of it while in college too. Yes, the Dutch, and to some degree, the Danish to in speaking English. In July 2013, my wife and I went to England, London and other seights 😊
I'm surprised Ireland is on this list. One of the worst countries in Europe I reckon. Expensive, poor infrastructure, poor government and politicians. Too many council estate troublemakers and drug addicts just roaming the streets. Great scenery and friendly people but that's about it. Give me any of the Nordic countries over it anyday.
I have to agree. Compared to Nordic countries Ireland is much more alive but like said, poor infrastructure, ridiculous prices, streets filled with trouble while the police is scared and looks the other way. The same two parties taking turns pocketing money from foreign investors building new offices and hotels while thousands of people living on the streets.
Naturewise Sweden, Norway, Switzerland are winning. Infrastructure quality, organisation, the Netherland is ahead. Spain and Italy are the most charming and France is the most diverse probably. It depends on what you seek.
Switzerland is also good at infrastructure… Swiss trains are the best in Europe with frequent train services to cities and even small villages all across the country and to neighbouring countries as well.
One thing about Switzerland, where my Mother was from Zurich, is that knowing the languages, for the patt of Switzerland, such as German and French, especially, in addition to be English speaking. Gruetsi, Aurevoir. 😊
@@pablolazaromartinez3541 if your kids report you to the government i don't think you'll want them... parents hit me all the time and never once thought about calling police on them.
I grew up in NL and i couldn't have wished for a better childhood. I'm not really nationalistic, but i'm of the opinion NL is top 3 countries in the world, only Denmark, and Australia can compete in my opinion. Switzerland is really good if you have (alot) of money, Norway deserves to be mentioned, Aswell as New Zealand and Luxembourgh.
I've got to disagree with the inclusion of the UK. England is currently quite a xenophobic place to live and foreigners are frequently assaulted and sometimes murdered for being foreign, in certain parts of the country. Scotland is completely different, much more welcoming and accepting, and should have it's own status in this regard.
@@johannkuster79 London is almost a different country to the rest of the U.K. What nationality was she humiliated by ? So bloody many to choose from. A lot better outside the capital. Poss the same for most large city’s.
Depends of the people from case to case,but the arrogance and hypocrisy is higher in some places in England than other parts of Europe😁...of course is not everywhere but in some places...😁
Didn’t like the comments about the local population ‘preferring’ their native language over English. No sh1t, Germans speak German, no shocker. Firstly learn the language and don’t expect others to know yours.
I think you took it too harshly, they’re letting people know that unlike certain countries where you can get by with just English that probably won’t be the case with Germany so you should learn the language. At least that’s how I took it
I have seen a lot lately, being originally born in London, in 1944, that especially since Brexit, things like cost of living such as rents, utilities, income, crime, immigration, have brought down the life there, though I was last back there in 2013, before Brexit, and the scenery, history are still great there. 😊
@gytan2221 what??? Climate plays a big factor in quality of life. Why live somewhere if you can't enjoy the outdoors cause it's freezing and dark more than not???
Бельгия,Голландия,В остальных странах делать нечего. Черногория, возможно, хотя небогатая. Всё, что вы перечислили-либо холодно так, что зуб на зуб не попадает, либо нищета тотальная в придачу с бесконечными беженцами.Спасибо, но живите сами в тех странах, что вы прорекламировали.
Austria: Graz around the citycenter, Innsbruck if you can afford, maybe Villach if you can work for Infineon. Villach has the best geography for nature lovers. Austria is in general nothing for ppl that are used to life in metropoles. Vienna is embedded in a not so interesting environment and because of its very social policy full with people that would not make it into normal society in other countries, which can be very disturbing.
@@gytan2221 Thank you but I feel like a stranger in my own country. ☹️ and I thinking about move to which nordic country, but I don't know which one yet. Anyways, greetings from Katowice 🇵🇱❤️🇩🇰
Definitiv ist Österreich ein sehr gutes Land zum leben. Nicht teuer, super Wohnungsmakt, ruhig, stabil, nicht ungut gegen Fremden. Wien ist die schönste Stadt für mich
Seriously? The UK is number 10, Iceland is higher in your list, even higher than Germany. You even didn't tell anything about Spain, Italy and other good countries. What a video! Just a waste of time.
What an unimaginative selection. Ever heard of Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece or even France they have a lot to offer. You exclude Austria, the Czech republic Hungary and all of the Balkan nations. Poland and the Baltic states are great places to live, not so much as a mention. Have you actually been anywhere or visited Europe, I don’t think so. A waste of time making this video. Go and visit somewhere and make a video worth watching.
So, you've moaned about at least 15 other countries not being in a top 10 places to live in Europe. A moronic start. I've lived in several European countries and none of those you mention should be in the top ten, although France and Greece should be way above England in any desirable list of countries to move to. Dreadful, patronising comment, and I'd suggest if you think that Italy, Portugal, Austria, The Czech Rep and Hungary [!] should be in the top ten, you've not lived in any of them.
@@avalanche816 if anyone is a moron its you, since you contradicted yourself almost immediately, I mentioned France and Greece as fine countries yet you say none of the countries I mentioned are worthy of a top 10 place. You then immediately go on to say France and Greece should be way above England which is in the listed top 10 !! Do you read what you write. You say you’ve lived in several European countries but have you lived in all the countries i proposed as worth consideration, I think not, you’re just generalising. Ive lived in Europe for the last 37 years of my life and I know what Im talking about. Austria Czech republic and Hungary form a cultural historic heart of europe and are beautiful nations whilst Portugal and Italy offer a fantastic mediterranean lifestyle. The collection of countries in this video is nothing more than NWEurope and Scandinavia cold wet and expensive.
@@bubi3875 hi bubi, i didn't understand your comment were you referring to the 10 listed countries in the video or the countries i offered as worthy of consideration. Where and how one makes money is really based on an individuals skill set and how well the earnings are managed. Western Europe may well be a good place to make money but it is becoming pricey with ever increasing taxes. If you want to make the most of your money living in eastern europe has many advantages such as cheaper land and houses, lower living and utility costs, less state interference, lower taxes. Once you get to know the country believe me there is money to be made. Its not a black and white issue thats for sure.
@@varvara69 i live in Poland. i wouldnt say taxes are low here, they are actually increasing and as you say home prices are attractive but if you earn average polish salary its gonna be tough, so real options for polish people to afford a nice house is only working abroad or in international corpo. look teachers salary is around 900 euro, after taxes you have money for food and rent and rest 150 euros for other expenses, that's why a lot of people leave.
Чего????? Если ты там живешь, живи себе на здоровье. Ни за какие деньги туда не поеду! Холод ужасный, бесконечный, до костей пронизывающий. Страх, трэш, НИ ЗА ЧТО!!!!
I lived there for 8 years and couldn't recommend it highly enough! All but the very elderly can speak some English, so you'll have no problem adjusting. Took me 2 years to learn conversational Norwegian. Go for it!
Do you know what I would just once love to see Tasmania get mentioned, preferably from some one who's been here, I'm starting to wonder if we exist, or if we're in a parallel universe, the places I love in the UK are country and seaside, and anywhere there's history still existing, and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love to see the London museum 😍🕊✌.
Hi megs ,take a positive that it's like a secret.You obviously know how amazing it is. I live in north Yorkshire England and its beautiful but is always overshadowed by other places however I like it that way 👍
@@natureisallpowerful you know what, you are right. It's so small and breezy here I should be grateful for that, 🙂 thank you for the reminder 🙏 🕊✌🙋♀️.
