Just as USA doesn’t want someone to come in without a job or a way to make a living, other countries also don’t want that. It is called freeloading, and jail is usually the first place you will live.
Best to work for a company here that has overseas satellites. Then get a transfer. They will get your work visas, etc. in the country you are in.
You can also try to get work on your own over there, but it is difficult. If you are a teacher, moving is quite easy, as a lot of countries want teachers to teach English to their citizens. So, it depends on what you are doing now. It would have been more informative if you had included that in your question.
I just returned from living 10 years in Holland, and it was not the glamorous “living in Europe” situation it would seem. I had no friends, had to learn a new language, etc. All countries are having immigration problems, so you will be just one more immigrant, unless you are in a working environment right away.
Good luck. As I say, not knowing your age (21 and 40 would be different answers), your career field, etc. makes it difficult to respond.
There are pluses to living overseas though. Find a country you are passionate about, and go from there. If you are not good with languages, pick an English-speaking country. Do your research and Good Luck.
