Six months ago, I made the big decision of moving to Spain, leaving behind everything familiar. Now, settled in malaga spain, I’m reflecting on my journey and the realities of expat life. Was this new chapter of living abroad the right choice, and what has living in spain truly been like?

Really appreciate your vulnerability and honesty about what it’s like for an American to move abroad. Hoping you find your Spanish family soon ❤
I’ll have to look through your channel but the having a job on a Spanish work visa without knowing Spanish part interested me. Do you have a video on how you did this?
Yo estuve 5 meses en francia solo, y la verdad que es duro, te recomiendo que busque s pareja, y todo cambiará, compartir, tu vida con otra persona te cambiarà todo, enga animo
Get a girlfriend, you are handsome, get a espanola.
Thank you
Supongo que los cerezos del Jerte también serán espectaculares pero fue en verano y ya hacía mucho que habían florecido
Lo más bonito del mundo es ir a la necrópolis de Carmona cuando florecen los lirios
Supongo que ya habrás visto florecer a los naranjos
Te agobias demasiado, tómatelo con calma
No te preocupes pos si hablas bien , te ayudaremos todo lo que podamos
Málaga es preciosa y deja de la siesta que sois muy jartibles con la siesta y los que trabajan no la pueden hacer

En España se trata de vivir no de ser el mas rico del cementerio
I moved to Barcelona on my own a few years ago and started with an intensive Spanish course, 4 hours per day for a month. After that , I went for 2 hours a day until I had good Spanish. I even ended up sharing an apartment with a girl in my class for a year. I was always interested in salsa dancing, so used to go to clubs on my own, which people found weird but it was through salsa that I made Spanish friends. I ended up staying for 3 years and definitely plan to return when I retire. Best of luck!
In Germany on sunday all the shops are close.
It is a rest day.
Hi there! Just found your channel and am appreciating your honesty, along with the great content. Will be making the move in July from Texas, so if you’re ever in Zaragoza!
Moving is tough as it is, but tougher when it’s a different country and culture. I hear that it gets better after a couple of years so we’ll see. Keep up the great work and hang in there!
Welcome to Spain, mate! Take it slowly. Spain is an amazing country, especially if you surround yourself with the right people! ❤
For all people who come here from abroad. My honest piece of advice as Spanish… Try to move here with your income from wherever you live.
This is the best way to do It.
Spanish salaries are quiet low on average.
