  • 83: Is Europe actually safer than the U.S.?
    Jun 2 2025

    Is Europe really safer than the U.S.—or does it just feel that way?

    In this episode of Move Abroad, we break down one of the most common (and loaded) questions I get: Is Europe actually safer than the U.S.? The answer isn’t a simple yes or no—it depends on how you define “safe.”

    We’ll look at real-world data and personal experiences to explore safety through multiple lenses:

    • Gun violence and violent crime
    • Healthcare access and affordability
    • Transportation and traffic deaths
    • Political and social stability
    • Everyday emotional and cultural safety

    You’ll learn how Europe and the U.S. compare when it comes to both statistics and quality of life—and what those differences might mean for your move abroad.

    If safety is a top concern for you, Don't miss this episode.
