i heard it is very laid back compaired to our western culture here.
i like the weather which is kind of chilly–like autumn
it should be beautiful =)
i like the country side
it should be safe!!!
possibly looking for a job in social work/humanities?
I was thinking Switzerland…no?
Your primary concern would be getting a work visa…very difficult for an american to do. all other Europeans are ahead of Americans for work in any E.U. country. To get a work visa you must st find an employer to sponsor your visa…this means you need to be extremely well educated and have outstanding job skills. Switzerland is the most difficult country in Europe to get a work visa in. If you are wealthy and will not need to work, then you need to apply for a residence visa. Choose a country, go to the website of their embassy in the U.S. and read visa requirements. many countries do not even put work visa info on their website…this is a hint…they do not need and are not seeking workers, even highly skilled ones…they have enough.

There is chilly… then there is freezing!! lol. If you have good knowledge of French, then I would say go to France, there are plenty of jobs available, they have better weather (not much though) than England and a good stable government. Otherwise, Britain!! The only good thing with switzerland is that they have lower taxes lol.
