Hi, 👋 first time at your channel. I am from Norway, living in Croatia. Interesting and funny to hear you comparing. Agree with you in a lot of things 😅
Colleges are actually pretty good here in Croatia, and you don't have to go into lifelong debt because of it. But elementary and high school education is pretty shit, even though, as far as I know, the US isn't any better.

@@KaleighHendershotyou should do that....it is a must watch! I almost merry a girl from Korčula,from Vela luka,a town on the west of the island.....damn....I still love her although it was 8y ago
just visited croatia and as a 26 year old woman wearing feminine summer clothing, i felt so safe walking around! i didn't get a single catcall or creepy gaze. it was really cool seeing little kids play in a playground at midnight as well--that would never fly in the states. it felt like a really safe and easygoing country.
Hi! With all of my heart as a Croatian mom living in the States raise your kids in Croatia. It will be so much easier with less headache and problems. Theres about 95% of things I dont like at all here when is regarding motherhood and childhood.
I'm from Zagreb (born and raised) and I love your videos!! Keep up the good work, and say hi to Dominik 😁 (also, Korcula 💕 the most beautiful place on the coast)
My dear friend from America came to me at the party. She always smiled. When she spoke or listened to us, her smile was always on her face. It seemed strange to us, you can not always be smiling. It looked fake. But later I realized that it was probably a matter of cultural differences. Facial expression is much stronger for Americans than for Croats. That's my opinion.
You hit a specific topic! How about helping on a romantic level? A Cro. lady I met in 2014 and me have become more intimate lately in our friendship, it may lead to romantic involvement. Our connection is undeniably strong. Her being there and me in California seems be no concern to her. Knowing cultural differentials could help people like me NOT make a royal screw up when trying to be sweet. I want to know what do Croatian ladies respond to most, like when one gives flowers to his sweeheart in America. If you do that in Russia it's not good! Personal note: You're fun! May your sparkle never dim.
Kaleigh Hendershot - This Croatian Life , You’re doing well considering you haven’t taken classes. Sorry for asking. I’ve watched all your episodes, I guess I just forgot.. 🤭
Hey Kaleigh, I've been pondering a move to Croatia here recently and have more mundane questions....like what's the banking system like? Do Croats have products like checking accounts, are mortgages and credit cards easy to get, do you have to file taxes in Croatia and then turn around and file taxes with the IRS, etc. Are you now a Croatian citizen (and if not, what kind of hoops do you need to jump through to obtain one); what's the US staff like at the embassy, are they a helpful resource? Do you vote in US elections, and if so....how does your vote count (like from an electoral college aspect, are you included in votes from the state of WA, etc...)? Are homes powered by gas? electric? What are utility bills like relative to the back in WA? How progressive is society there? How are people with a different skin color, sexual orientation, religion, or nationality treated? I know that's a lot of questions being thrown at you, but would love to hear some of your perspective on these when you can. Thanks. :)
WOW!! So many amazing great questions! I am absolutely going to save this and answer them in a video! I hope that's okay :D but yes, really quick, there are banks and regular bank accounts (with online and mobile banking!) here! Homes are powered by both electric and gas (gas for heating and stoves) - completely modern! I hope that helps in the meantime ;)
Awesome video! I mostly agree with your observations. Re Croatian guys/girls vs US folks, what really made me get it was the coconut/peach comparison. So, Europe is a coconut culture. People are very hard on the outside but as you drill deeper, they soften up, they open up and become really genuine once you break through that hard outer shell though it takes time. Whereas Americans a peach culture, meaning very soft on the outside, easy to chat up, always smiling and friendly from the get go but eventually you hit that pit, that hard shell and they tend to close up. This realization really helped me get it. I never understood why I make friends so easily in North America but have it so hard in Europe (esp ofc with east europe and russians) Or why does it seem I get along so well with not just Americans but also every Japanese or Brazilian I meet (cuz theyre also peach cultures) yet Europeans I always found so cold and so difficult. So that kinda reasonated with me. Still learning about coconut cultures cuz its sooo not my personality but I find you really gotta have a moment with those people, you gotta share personal stuff and thats how you build up that trust. Its not gonna be like in the US where u go to the bar and u feel u made 10 new friends that night, exchanged contacts with everyone etc. Aaaaah, Croatia/Europe is different.

last time I visited was in'96 & '97 ! After 30 & 31 yrs. " 💘 LOVE the ADRIATIC coast ( Jadranske obale ) !!! In ' 96 I put app. 3 000 klms. in 3 wks. ! LOVED IT ! P. S. Almost forgot .

I. jJ is pronounced like yY in ENGLISH eg. YOU !
I guess it makes you a bit angry not understanding what they talk about when they talk croatian at work. Quick advice: learn croatian! I mean, as much as it seems to be an advantage being american and working for an international company (which makes english as main business language your mother tongue) it seems to be this much of disadvantage. It's like, if you wanna be a successful in some business here in balkans you have to learn english and german plus croatian. 3 languages already plus maybe some italian later on. I mean, switzerland itself has 4 official languages.
Yaaaay, Peaky Blinders fan ovdje. I am kind of feeling like badass while watching it, because I am total opposite of it. Do you love Grace and Tommy together?
Oh boy, are you in for a surprise when it comes to education in Croatia... Most of the children/people leaving schools are incapable of doing anything. They are not working on developing skills (of any kind) or critical thinking or problem solving. That is why most people have Wikipedia/quiz-style factual knowledge, but aren't sure what to do with that :) Please be aware this is not a criticism on your answer, it's just a comment. It is understandable that you haven't gotten in touch with Croatian educational system just yet, but when you do - I'm sure you'll quickly realize it's not that nice and fluffy at all :) Keep uploading awesome content as usual! Cheers :)
@@KaleighHendershot We have very point based education, it's based on memorizing stuff. So let's say you are bad at that kind of learning. You will have issues in Croatian schools since teachers are in most cases very robotic and detached from the subject since they got their programme to follow or they get sacked since they haven't been doing their "job" in that case. I mean you will know a lot of stuff, which is good... but maybe you won't be able to understand some of them as well. Since they do not have time to actually individually change approach for each student.
I am born in Zagreb, living in Canada now since childhood. I visit Croatia every year and love my birth country. In Canada, I work as a teacher in the elementary system. The difference between the education system in Croatia versus North America is that students in Croatia have an excellent foundation in math and literacy skills. These skills are quite low for many students in Canada and every year it just gets worse. I can't even tell you how many students graduate grade 8 and still don't know their times tables! There are also many behavioural issues and sometimes verbal/physical aggression towards teachers (even in elementary schools). These behaviours are constant interruptions in the classroom that make it difficult to teach. The many different levels and abilities of students in one classroom also makes it difficult to run a good classroom program due to there being too many needs and just one teacher in the class. I just wanted to share my experience of the education system in North America for those who may not be familiar . . .
roglSimpson That is actually not true. I am still in high school and i can say it is not the best education in the world, but it deff isn't so bad as you say. American education is waaay worse, just look at internet. I also know that some girls from my high school went to live in USA and they were average here, but in USA they were top in their class. One girl ( who had better grades ) even knew more than her teacher. You are being too subjective. A lot of students in Croatia are far better in math, languages and talking skills than other countries. Take a look at younger people, most of them understand english and can have a good converstation.
For kids without skills is guilty school system. Teachers just do what they must to do by plan and program without better explanation. They can't recognise when student have dyslexia.
@@KaleighHendershot I already watched it. But still asked you. Hahaha. 😂 Are you still learning or still you having hard time communicate to Croatian people?
sad to say that 99% americans can`t find croatia or nederland or japan od the map!!! needles to say they don`t know with currency some countires have! so I`d say cro educational system is better!
Hehe,working in Croatia!!? If that will be good peoples will not leave from Croatia /Balkan to EU., 70% of people's here have around 500$ monthly incomes but prices are high not low and those 30% who have more are politics,those who work in jobs for state ,priests,businessman's who again work for State and similar.,
@@Mr11ESSE111 to sta ti radis za 500€ mjesecno je do tebe, a ne do drzave, trazi dalje educiraj se … ima milion opcija. Ili odi odakle si dosla bosna srbija pa tamo radi sa bracom za 150€ mj. I slusaj cecu
I'm telling you now why it is difficult to find a job in Croatia and why people are leaving the state because you have very low salaries in Croatia and what you earn in a company and that is what you do, and in this whole story are the biggest thieves in the country the politicians who are the most rewarding in this story and because of such people can not get the jobs of normal people in this country because they employ their people in a little stronger companies and these people have no idea of such jobs and have no idea what to do in such jobs, now you know why People are leaving the state out!!
Croatian women don't smile???what?? I recommend you to go in Slavonia,and I don't mean just Vukovar .and meet people there . All do it is hard live at this part of Croatia ,we are joker's. And Croatian girls are not reserved ,we like to be careful with people we don't know.
It is funny how you think guys from Dalmatia are chill and nice, i find them so annoying and cocky. Also i hate their accent. Lol. For Croatian girls : i feel happy that you think we are pretty, but i haven't seen so many "it" girls. Maybe it depends in which city you live.
I like your enthusiasm. Most of the people in Croatia has some kind of trauma, unfulfilled dreams ...You grew up in USA, country with great opportunities. ... It is good that you spread enthusiasm around yourself to Croatians.

It's like, if you wanna be a successful in some business here in balkans you have to learn english and german plus croatian. 3 languages already plus maybe some italian later on. I mean, switzerland itself has 4 official languages.
Peaky Blinders,I agree!

Oh boy, are you in for a surprise when it comes to education in Croatia... Most of the children/people leaving schools are incapable of doing anything. They are not working on developing skills (of any kind) or critical thinking or problem solving. That is why most people have Wikipedia/quiz-style factual knowledge, but aren't sure what to do with that :)
Please be aware this is not a criticism on your answer, it's just a comment. It is understandable that you haven't gotten in touch with Croatian educational system just yet, but when you do - I'm sure you'll quickly realize it's not that nice and fluffy at all :)
Keep uploading awesome content as usual! Cheers :)
I think that it is a LOT tougher than education in America for sure, just not sure yet which technique/style is better you know?
@@KaleighHendershot We have very point based education, it's based on memorizing stuff. So let's say you are bad at that kind of learning. You will have issues in Croatian schools since teachers are in most cases very robotic and detached from the subject since they got their programme to follow or they get sacked since they haven't been doing their "job" in that case.
I mean you will know a lot of stuff, which is good... but maybe you won't be able to understand some of them as well. Since they do not have time to actually individually change approach for each student.
I am born in Zagreb, living in Canada now since childhood. I visit Croatia every year and love my birth country. In Canada, I work as a teacher in the elementary system. The difference between the education system in Croatia versus North America is that students in Croatia have an excellent foundation in math and literacy skills. These skills are quite low for many students in Canada and every year it just gets worse. I can't even tell you how many students graduate grade 8 and still don't know their times tables! There are also many behavioural issues and sometimes verbal/physical aggression towards teachers (even in elementary schools). These behaviours are constant interruptions in the classroom that make it difficult to teach. The many different levels and abilities of students in one classroom also makes it difficult to run a good classroom program due to there being too many needs and just one teacher in the class. I just wanted to share my experience of the education system in North America for those who may not be familiar . . .
roglSimpson That is actually not true. I am still in high school and i can say it is not the best education in the world, but it deff isn't so bad as you say. American education is waaay worse, just look at internet. I also know that some girls from my high school went to live in USA and they were average here, but in USA they were top in their class. One girl ( who had better grades ) even knew more than her teacher. You are being too subjective. A lot of students in Croatia are far better in math, languages and talking skills than other countries. Take a look at younger people, most of them understand english and can have a good converstation.
For kids without skills is guilty school system. Teachers just do what they must to do by plan and program without better explanation. They can't recognise when student have dyslexia.

Is it hard to learn Croatian language?
it's a dumb language, you dont need it :)
Very hard! You should check out my first Q&A ;)
@@KaleighHendershot I already watched it. But still asked you. Hahaha. 😂 Are you still learning or still you having hard time communicate to Croatian people?
@@KaleighHendershot don’t lie her
sad to say that 99% americans can`t find croatia or nederland or japan od the map!!! needles to say they don`t know with currency some countires have! so I`d say cro educational system is better!
I love your lip collor
Hehe,working in Croatia!!? If that will be good peoples will not leave from Croatia /Balkan to EU., 70% of people's here have around 500$ monthly incomes but prices are high not low and those 30% who have more are politics,those who work in jobs for state ,priests,businessman's who again work for State and similar.,
I?

You should visit Koprivnica.
I'm telling you now why it is difficult to find a job in Croatia and why people are leaving the state because you have very low salaries in Croatia and what you earn in a company and that is what you do, and in this whole story are the biggest thieves in the country the politicians who are the most rewarding in this story and because of such people can not get the jobs of normal people in this country because they employ their people in a little stronger companies and these people have no idea of such jobs and have no idea what to do in such jobs, now you know why People are leaving the state out!!

I recommend you to go in Slavonia,and I don't mean just Vukovar .and meet people there .
All do it is hard live at this part of Croatia ,we are joker's.
And Croatian girls are not reserved ,we like to be careful with people we don't know.
That's called reserved.
Is not true
It is funny how you think guys from Dalmatia are chill and nice, i find them so annoying and cocky. Also i hate their accent. Lol. For Croatian girls : i feel happy that you think we are pretty, but i haven't seen so many "it" girls. Maybe it depends in which city you live.
how interesting are our views! I love that you shared this, comparing with my 'outsider' perspective :D
