IS YOUR DREAM OF LIVING IN EUROPE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK?

Perhaps you’ve imagined retiring beside the Mediterranean. Maybe you work remotely and wonder why your home office couldn’t be in Portugal, Cyprus, or Spain. Or perhaps you’re simply ready for something different. Then the questions start:

Where can I legally live?
What country would be best for me?
What about healthcare and taxes?
Can I work?
How much does it cost to live in Europe?

In Your New Life in Europe, Gregory J. Leeson provides a practical guide for North Americans considering retirement, remote work, or long-term residency in Europe.

Twenty-one detailed country profiles examine immigration options, cost of living, healthcare, housing, banking, transportation, climate, and overall life. Comparative rankings help narrow your choices. Step-by-step relocation roadmaps explain where to begin. And a comprehensive twelve-month moving checklist helps you turn an idea into a plan.

Leeson doesn’t promise that moving to Europe will be easy. He knows firsthand that there will be paperwork, bureaucracy, and unexpected challenges. After years of research and planning, Leeson, a dual Canadian/American citizen, relocated from the United States to Portugal. This book combines what he learned along the way with the practical information he wishes he’d had when his own journey began.
