I'm not from the US but moved to Germany with an Italian passport and have had a great time so far.

Is it easier to move to Germany with an Italian passport? (Instead of something outside Europe)
I thought that Schengen implied that you could live there without questions asked, but I was wrong...
Anything inside the EU makes it really easy, people without citizenship need to go through a lot of paperwork to get a blue card.
The easiest way is probably to find an employer willing to sponsor you but that visa only lasts as long as you have an active job so it's still not ideal.
Thank you for your response, and I hope everything continues to be great for you with no end in sight!
The biggest advice I'd give is that you understand beforehand that you are going to a place with a different culture and should try to adjust the best you can.
This means learning the language, respecting their rules, etc. It's a bit overwhelming at first but after a few months it starts feeling natural.
Germany overall is great if you want a place that is tidy and like having a large set of rules that make sure everything works the way it's supposed to.
r/IWantOut has some pretty good resources, OP.
