May 16, 2023 – Thinking of emigrating? Why the grass is greener in Croatia – a video from a presentation at the Zagreb FER Faculty of Engineering last week.
I am often accused of being too positive about Croatia.
A little positivity never killed anyone, of course, but after 20 years of living here and being surrounded by the default negative Croatian mindset, I decided to start a YouTube channel looking at the brighter and more positive aspects of life here.
Two of the first videos I did were 8 Reasons Croatia is the Best Place to Live in Europe, and 10 Things Croatia Does Better than Anywhere Else. Both were very popular, and both attracted a lot of comment, some complimentary, some critical.
Having read the comments, I decided to offer a free presentation to any school or university faculty in Croatia in destinations that I would be visiting called “Thinking of Emigrating? Why the Grass is Greener in Croatia.”
Perhaps, after 20 years here and having travelled to 96 countries and lived in ten, I had a slightly different perspective that students might be interested in hearing.
I have done several presentations on the topic since I made the offer, the most recent of which was at the FER Faculty of Engineering in Zagreb last week, who were kind enough to record the presentation so that it could be watched more widely. Here it is, in full.
