Description

In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we explore why some American dual nationals living in Europe say they feel increasingly alienated — and why a growing number are considering renouncing U.S. citizenship. Drawing from firsthand accounts and expert insight, we discuss the emotional, financial, and bureaucratic pressures driving this decision, from tax obligations and banking challenges to shifting identity and belonging abroad. It’s a candid look at what global mobility really means when citizenship becomes a burden instead of a benefit.
