7 REVERSE CULTURE SHOCKS as Americans (After 1.5 Years Living in Europe)

Video Description

We just spent 10 days back in the United States after living in Portugal for the past 1.5 years — and the reverse culture shock hit harder than we expected. In this video, we’re sharing 7 major reverse culture shocks we experienced as Americans who moved abroad. From consumerism overload and higher crime rates to rising costs and aggressive tipping culture, we talk about the biggest differences we noticed between everyday life in the U.S. vs. Europe. We also dive into food quality, mindset shifts, and even the climate differences between Portugal and the Northeast U.S. If you’re curious about moving to Portugal, living in Europe as an American, or how life abroad changes you, you’ll find a lot of insights (and a few surprises) in this video. 🇵🇹 RESOURCES FOR MOVING TO PORTUGAL: - Moving to Portugal course: https://www.theunretirees.com/offers/YNbHVcqQ/checkout - Moving to Portugal Consultation Call: https://calendly.com/hello-theunretirees/mtp_consultation?month=2025-03 🧑🏻‍💻 RESOURCES FOR BUILDING FLEXIBLE INCOME: - [eBook]: The Over 50 Online Income Handbook https://www.theunretirees.com/offers/Z5hiPzak/checkout 👋🏻 STAY CONNECTED ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnretirees/?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ SIGN UP for the Newsletter: https://www.theunretirees.com/subscribe ✅ FOLLOW US on Instagram Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunretirees 📩 For business inquiries: [email protected] ============================= 🎬Suggested videos for you: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GDvaSdzE9g ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq6FMpgaJws ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlXKrpRTb88 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4wSZM2RGEk ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBrZoXbgkEI ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtfg3lKKKXA ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHAVNwzPUJ4 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RobujxsphtU ================================= ✅ About The Unretirees.
