Expats abroad: ze big jump
Mobility in Europe is a political issue: only 1.5% of Europeans live and work in another EU country, and this figure hasn’t changed in three decades. Freedom of movement is a giddy adventure in practice; the young French who leave the ‘old’ continent behind for the maple-tree dotted landscape of Quebec can testify to that. You’ve got to ensure you’ve got insurance to get a job abroad though. And whether your reasons to move country are to join your love or to have a professional experience, expatriation is a little like plunging feet first into the unknown. Read some experiences

Young Spaniards escape crisis by moving around in Europe
Three out of ten Spaniards under 25 are unemployed. This group is the hardest hit by the crisis and has the highest unemployment rate in the EU (35.4%). Unfair dismissals, businesses closing, poor wages and working conditions... Young Europeans and specifically the Spaniards, don’t have it easy, but they are facing up to it. Those that can, leave their country in search of a more promising future in Europe, seeing this adventure as a long-term investment
