Europe is one of the most sought-after regions for expats, emigrants, digital nomads, and others looking to depart the United States (even if only temporarily). However, some of the most desirable destinations make it challenging — if not downright impossible — to move to. Does that mean you should abandon your dreams of an extended European stay? Absolutely not.

When one door closes, another opens. So whether you can’t afford the cost of living in one European nation, the country doesn’t have easily obtainable nomad visas, or they’ve recently pulled (or are planning to pull) their retirement visas, don’t give up. As long as you leave yourself a little wiggle room and are open to tweaks in your plan, you can still live an amazing life in Europe.

In fact, you might discover the alternative far surpasses the original destination.

Instead of Italy, Check Out Croatia
