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.
