Woman States Why She Decided To Live Abroad Instead Of Returning To The USA, And Her Reasons Are Absolutely Incredible

Some people leave the United States and never look back, and Aly is one of them. After moving to Germany for love, the TikTok creator behind USA Mom in Germany says she found a life that fits her better than the one she left behind.

Her video was a response to another TikToker, Brittney Ariane Vela, who asked expats why they chose to stay abroad instead of returning home. Aly’s answer touched on healthcare, safety, family life, and everyday convenience, all while showing that moving overseas came with its own challenges too.

Her reasons are getting a lot of attention, and the comments only add to the debate.

A TikTok user asked Americans about the reasons they decided to stay abroad rather than return to the U.S.

Another user responded and provided plenty of reasons why she chose not to return to the U.S.

"The purpose of my TikTok account is not to slam, drag, or put down the USA. My videos are meant to combat U.S. propaganda that portrays the USA as the best country in the world and, through this rhetoric, discourages a realistic view of other countries that often have social systems functioning better for their people," Aly explained.TikTok/usa.mom.in.germany

That answer set the tone right away.

Everyone has equal access to quality healthcare.

For Aly, the appeal went far beyond one big reason.

Factors they considered before making their decision.

"We created a pro/con list regarding moving to Germany and/or moving to the U.S. The most significant selling points for moving to Germany were universal healthcare, tuition-free education for our children, lower crime rates, and a lower cost of living, which were all at the top of our list," Aly said.TikTok/usa.mom.in.germany

People can learn more than one language.

Although she has a better life now, Aly revealed that she misses several things about the USA. "Aside from my family back home, I miss a lot about Southern U.S. culture," she stated.

Aly's experience illustrates the reality for everyone who chooses to settle down in a foreign place. It doesn't mean they hate their country when they decide to leave; they simply want a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

She may have found her place abroad, but the homesickness is still there.
