Check this out. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers, was HAPPIER ABROAD too?
See the 3 hour documentary below that chronicles his life and many amazing inventions and accomplishments in many areas. He was a great inventor, scientist, publisher, writer, poet, philosopher, statesman, civil leader, successful in business (from rags to riches), diplomat, ambassador, and big flirt with women too. And he founded many organizations and established the first lending library in America. I've never seen a single man with so many accomplishments in so many areas.
He was also probably the most brilliant intellectual of Colonial America, so he found no intellectual stimulation in America. That's why he preferred being in Europe and found it more intellectually stimulating.
After he retired from business, he spent most of his senior adult life overseas in Europe, away from his wife. Before the American Revolutionary War, he spent a total of 17 years in London and England. Then during the American Revolutionary War, he lived in Paris for 8 years and had a blast there.
During his time in Europe, he hung out with intellectuals, writers, philosophers and scientists, while flirting and charming aristocratic women, who found him to be a charming ladies man. (That sounds like the kind of thing that I would do lol) He had close friendships with aristocratic ladies and friendships with many intellectual men. He clearly was happier in Europe and was a celebrity there.
Here is the three hour documentary that chronicles all this and his life from 1706 to 1790. It's very good and will instill you with a deep admiration for Benjamin Franklin and his many talents and accomplishments.
