In this episode, we talk about the expectations we all had before living in Europe and how those ideas compare to real life once you arrive. We cover safety, taxes, food and the small cultural shifts that stand out the most. Some things feel easier than expected and others take a little more adjusting, especially during the first year.

Meghan joins the conversation as someone who is still settling into European life, while we share what felt different after living here for years. It is a relaxed and honest look at the things people imagine about Europe compared to what you actually experience once you spend real time here. If you are curious about how Europe feels as more than a vacation, this episode gives you a clear, friendly look at the reality.
