Go to Germany, throw your papers away and pretend to be a Syrian
Seriously, I can't understand why anyone would favor Europe over the US. On the other hand, it seems that the grass is always greener on the other side, or at least appears to be so. Europeans dream about the US and Americans seem to dream about Europe.
I also like the idea of living in the US, but I am aware that I most likely have a distorted view of the US due to movies and TV and that I would hardly actually be lucky there, likewise I you might have a distorted view of Europe, why would you favor Europe over the US and which particular country do you have in mind?
The OP might be better off to consider Canada. It's closer, at least, and isn't experiencing the upheaval that Europe is currently dealing with. And it's English-speaking. He would still need to have a degree in a field they need specialists in, but at least he could just walk there, instead of having to cross an ocean and learn a foreign language, and adjust to greater cultural differences than exist between the US and Canada.
There's a program where you can teach English at a school in Spain, if you have a college degree and are a native English speaker. They set you up with a student visa. The pay is only 1000e per month, which is a livable wage even in Madrid, but you only work 16 hours a week. There is plenty of demand in Spain for private lessons on the side if you want to hussle some more cash. I have never done the program myself, but I have several friends that have. PM me if you want some more information. You can't do the program forever, but you could certainly meet a nice Spanish (or other EU) lady while you're here and find a way to stay longer
What language(s) do you speak?
What qualifications (school,college,work experience) do you have?
Any particular skill or talent?
Are you rich?
Do you have any connection, acquaintance or tie in Europe?
In Europe where?
and, above all, Why do you want to 'escape' to Europe?

Anywhere from my research the train seems to go all through the european region reaching to the UK. Somewhere with public transportation, nightlife good food etc... LOL the usual
You think we don't have enought immigrant in europe right now?
What do you want to escape from?
The OP sounds like the typical 20-something American who's fed up with dysfunctional politics and a difficult job market, no job prospects.
It's interesting that he's passed on responding to questions about his language skills and college degree or field.
