Jeff Opdyke - The Best Places To Live In Europe

Author: Travis Sherry May 6, 2025 Duration: 1:18:04
Ever dreamed of living in Europe?  Sipping cappucinos in the square of some Italian village or sunbathing on the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean or Adriatic?It's possible - and, in fact, maybe even a lot more feasible, and affordable, than you think!(especially with lots of new digital nomad visas popping up, which we discuss at length)Jeff Opdyke has been to over 80 countries.  He's lived in multiple countries in Europe.  He's written for the Wall Street Journal for 17 years and is now the Global Investment Expert for International Living.So...safe to say he knows a thing or two about living abroad and helping expats find the best place in Europe to live. And surprise, surprise - he gets asked the question "Where's the best place to live in Europe and how do I do it?"Hint:  If it was one size fits all, this podcast wouldn't be over an hour!But the best thing about Jeff is that he doesn't just give you some basic answer - instead, he gives you a variety of answers based on the situation that YOU are in and the type of life that you want to lead.I've spent decades researching living in Europe, and I know quite a bit.  Well, I thought I did.  And then Jeff came on and dropped a ton of new knowledge on me. Want to know the "Asheville of Europe?"  Or what country is "if Greece and Switzerland had a baby?"  Don't miss this one!
