Opposites Abroad

Why Moving to Europe is HARD!

Moving to Europe looks effortless on Instagram. In reality, it can be confusing, expensive, bureaucratic, and emotionally draining — often all at once. In this episode, Charlie and TT unpack why relocating to Europe is so much harder than people expect. From visas and residency rules to a sense of belonging, we talk candidly about the friction that rarely makes it into highlight reels. We'll touch on the mental load of starting from scratch, and how cultural differences can feel isolating even in places you’ve long dreamed of living. And, this being the Opposites Abroad podcast, we also managed some random detours on topics like Gary Glitter and skiing in Japan! If you’ve ever considered living abroad, this episode might not talk you out of it — but it will help you go in with your eyes open.
