Every country has its own share of good and bad things that makes people stay or leave. For example, when individuals no longer see themselves becoming productive and happy with where they are, they decide to explore new places and find where they feel at home and contented.

Aside from this, marriage, work, education, and other opportunities in life are also some reasons why people move from their hometowns and settle down somewhere else. They might have left some family members, friends, and memories behind, but they surely have more valuable experiences in that new place, which made them decide to stay.

Like Aly, a TikToker with the username 'USA Mom in Germany' who shared the reasons why she never dreamed of returning to the U.S. after she got married to her German husband. She posted the video to respond to another TikToker named Brittney Ariane Vela, who asked other ex-pats why they decided to settle abroad for good instead of going back to the U.S.

With over 722K followers, Aly uses the platform to inform people about the differences between countries and share her real-life experiences. Although moving from Germany wasn't easy because of the language barrier, she loved so many things about the country, and one of them was the slower pace of life.

A TikTok user asked Americans about the reason why they decided to stay abroad rather than go back to the U.S.

Another user responded to this and gave plenty 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 sells the USA as the best country in the world and, through this rhetoric, discourages a realistic view of other countries who often have social systems that function better for their people," Aly explained.

Everyone has equal access to quality healthcare.

Children can play outside because there is lower crime rates.

Excellent public transportation.

You have 30+ vacation days a year.

Paid parental leaves.

What things they had consider before coming up with the decision.

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

People can learn more than one language.

Spend less for university's tuition.

Student loan is already solved.

People respect what you believe in.

Daycare is affordable.

Safety of children.

Taxes are helping families.

#1 You should keep this as a secret so other Americans won't come.

#2 Schools should be safety, and kids can learn and have fun without worrying about their lives.

#3 Taxes destination: help people in need or make the richest become richer?

#4 Here is a list of your reasons to leave.

#5 Should you even live in a place like that?

#6 Keep in mind that these benefits were brought by unions.

#7 Checking each reasons and realizations.

#8 They are cruising while you are spinning the treadmill.

#9 Don't understand why many people are trying to live the American dream.

#10 Just straight facts right there.

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

Aly's experience just shows the reality for everyone who chose to settle down in a foreign place. It doesn't mean that they hate their country when they decide to leave, but they just want a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
