Ever imagined trading the Stars and Stripes for a life abroad? You’re not alone. Recent Gallup polls reveal 15% of Americans want to leave the U.S. permanently—and safety fears are driving the trend. 🚨
Take Tara Milo, who swapped Ohio for Lisbon five years ago. “I couldn’t live in that culture of fear anymore,” she told CGTN. From school shooting anxieties to constantly watching her back on streets, Tara’s U.S. life felt like a thriller movie 🎬—minus the happy ending.
Now? She strolls Lisbon’s cobblestone alleys stress-free. “I finally feel human again,” she says. While critics argue ‘nowhere’s perfect,’ Tara’s story highlights a growing reality: Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the American Dream… often from overseas. 🌍✈️
Could relaxed visa programs in places like Portugal and Spain make this the ultimate ‘soft life’ hack? Stay tuned as we track this cultural shift. 👀
