10 Years in Europe CHANGED Me (After 30 Years in America)

I moved to Germany 10 years ago not knowing when I'd be back in the United States. I never came back. And somewhere along the way, without even realizing it, I became a different person. In this video, I share the ways living in and traveling around Europe for a decade has changed me as an American—from learning to cook and becoming vegetarian, to living car-free, to embracing my Jewish heritage, and becoming more empathetic to the immigrant experience. Some of these changes I attribute directly to Europe. Others might have happened anyway. But I know this: I'm not the same person who left the U.S. in 2016. This isn't about Europe being perfect or America being terrible. It's about how living abroad quietly reshapes you in ways you don't notice until you look back. -- CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 01:15 - Cars 02:20 - Cooking 03:36 - Jewish 05:05 - Vegetarian 06:34 - Small Life 08:40 - Outside 10:00 - Immigrants and refugees SOURCES: https://withoutapath.substack.com/p/1... -- Trail running tours and planning: https://burningriverrunningcompany.com/ Sign up to my newsletter so you never miss a video: https://withoutapath.substack.com/ Get 25% off your first three months with Vert.Run using code Joe25 at: https://vert.run/joe-baur/ Tailwind Nutrition: https://alnk.to/7McmXyf FOLLOW ME HERE: Instagram:   / baurjoe   Facebook:   / baurjoe   Strava:   / strava   Patreon:   / membership   Substack: https://withoutapath.substack.com/ #expat #livingabroad #europe #americanabroad
