I've been outside of the USA for over 10 years now. I don't miss the horrible healthcare system in the USA, the high property taxes, the bad GMO/insecticide filled food, the billboards/fences, the cost of living, the social tensions, television everywhere, bad fluoridated tap water, glysophate filled wine, car culture and more. I live in the Andalucían mountains in Spain and I don't think I will ever go back to the USA.

America is gone. This country has changed so drastically in the last 20 years it's shocking.

Coming from the UK I found billboards in the US for lawyers, bail bondsmen, political candidates, sheriffs and hospitals very odd.

Wow, I had a whole different experience!! . When I arrived back in United States, no one could talk about politics, because there were afraid of people on the other side arguing or shouting at them.
When I was living overseas in Western Europe, I enjoyed talking about the politics of the United States, or of Europe, etc. and people are so knowledgeable and interested and can talk about several sides of politics in a knowledgeable way without arguing

I flew into Frankfurt Germany, got on a train, inside the airport, and rode the train all the way to southern Italy. It was very comfortable, plenty of room, a snack bar, a restaurant etc.

I am so tired of the tipping culture here...especially now that 25% (or more) is standard and sometimes mandatory. Places that shouldn’t be asking for tips are now asking for them. I wish establishment owners didn’t burden their patrons with this. Pay fair wages to employees. If everyone in the US stood up to this nonsense the businesses would be forced to change.

Country comparison videos usually don't discuss touchy subjects like the character of the people. I find people outside the USA to be more calm, respectful, less invasive and more genuine. This is much more important to me than any of the logistics of living.

Three weeks in the USA and I had seen enough billboards for the rest of my life. And not only billboards. Commercials in general Here in Denmark we like to look at the scenery without stupid billboards. And you are right, there are strict rulles about signs along the roads. They are constantly challenged, but the majority of people dont like being bombarded with commercials everywhere.

The car culture is one of a number of things that is bringing this country down. We've been bought and sold by the car/oil industry. Almost all towns/cities in the U.S. used to be connected by rail service. Then the car industry decided that wouldn't do and fast forward, you can see old train tracks threading many areas - overgrown with weeds. Really sad. Every year there are upwards of 40K fatalities due to car accidents. What kind of country doesn't see that as a problem and do something about it immediately and encourage mass transit investment?

In the US, people love dogs more than each other

Tired of the crappy food and public transportation in the USA.

Completely agree with you on the fast food. The food quality is so much better in Europe and other parts of the world.

I don’t miss the feeling of not feeling safe to walk around out cities streets at night time. 😢

I miss my layovers in Guatemala. As a Flight crew , I always picked over other countries, people are so welcoming and friendly! Something very rare to find in the USA.

We have castles everywhere,you have billboards everywhere.
The mighty dollar is ALL that matters.

A rule I made for myself, when the commercials were so long I forgot what I was watching, I turn it off. Its a waste of time.
I then stopped watching any TV because it became normal for it to be that way. You have to remember, its YOUR money, its YOUR time, its YOUR life!

Hello!, I really enjoy the calmness of your energy. I loved your comments on discrimination, and how that might be an inspiration to leave one’s home country. I am a 58 year-old single, American Nomad of color. I almost never see folks like me when I travel remotely as a Nomad. I returned to America for 3 long stays in my 20 years of traveling. Alas, I have decided this is not my country. Never was. So I continue to roam, and I depend on these amazing videos to help inspire my movements. I won’t stop!

The common thread in all of this is unregulated capitalism; the principle that profit is more important than people that seems to govern America. In the UK we're vigorously resisting the creeping introduction of the same toxic ideology

Why would you miss racism, greed, people sleeping on the street, mass shooting, hunger, politician who have no sense of morality, a media that works to divide and incite anger and division, rather than instill comfort and hope ? Why would you miss a society that promotes greed and ignorance ? You are very smart to leave...Do what you can to make youreself a better person and help the world become better 🙂 And I love your videos !
