Why I Always Choose Spain
Apart from the obvious reasons such as an inexhaustible amount of sun, mountains, nature, fresh air… Simply living every day, even when I am working, as a holiday…? What’s not to like?
It’s a poor country! How can you live in Barcelona without having a job that pays you well? I get these questions all the time. Do you not feel culturally deprived in Barcelona?
It does take a special person to be able to leave the big city!
One gets pension schemes, holidays pay and a very enticing package depending on an experience and marital status. It’s very difficult to break out of that because everyone else does the same; buy a house, a dog/cat, children then holidays, cars and children’s’ schools. You are “tied in” and it’s very difficult or almost impossible to get away from the life in the city.
If there’s a will there’s a way!
I know quite a few people who would just pack their bags and go to Spain. Somehow they manage to come up with ideas to live in Spain. We are programmed to believe, if you live or lived in London, you have to have a corporate job to be able to live. You have to have some comfort too go out for dinners and holidays and etc.
