Hi!

What are the differences? I live in North America (Canada) for a while but something about Europe really makes me think that their life is more memorable. Maybe the grass is greener on the other side. I would love some insights from your knowledge and experiences. How are the two lifestyles different? Any benefits living in Europe or North America?
