Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.

What American expats have to say about living in Stuttgart

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in Stuttgart from American expats, grouped into positive and negative opinions.

Let’s start with the positive ones.

Personally, I dislike that Stuttgart is the somewhat unfriendly culture in which it is difficult to make friends, there is too much bureaucracy, extremely long waiting time for public services (e.g., foreign office appointment, specialist appointments with doctors, etc).

What I find challenging about Stuttgart is that the language barrier can be difficult but most Germans speak a little English. Cash still rules here even though they are getting more credit card machines.
