Is the American Dream Better in Slovenia? | My Eye-Opening Experience
After 20 years of traveling to 35+ countries, my recent trip to Slovenia completely changed how I think about the American Dream. What I discovered there made me question everything we believe about success, happiness, and what it means to live a good life.

The 5 key elements I use to identify the "American Dream" in other countries:
Home Ownership - Meeting a Chicago woman living her dream life on a Slovenian farm
Entrepreneurship - A cannabis shop owner's perspective on high taxes vs. social benefits
Freedom of Expression - Why graffiti is everywhere and nobody cares
Generational Progress - A 6-generation winery owner who chose community over expansion
Freedom of Movement - The surprising 5th element (you'll have to watch!)
My Background:
20+ year travel writer and entrepreneur
Former Peace Corps volunteer in Ethiopia
Lived in China for 2 years
Advisor to US State Department on African relations
Visited 35+ countries, lived in 2
Key Takeaways:
