If you’re new, welcome. If you’re “old,” welcome back.
My wife and I are moving to Spain in just (barely!) over five months.
This newsletter uses that move to not only follow, compare and contrast life on the ground in Los Angeles/America and—soon—Valencia, Spain/greater Europe, but to:
Inform the visa process and other bureaucratic logistics around moving to a foreign country.
Discuss the practical, psychological and emotional components of such a life-changing move, particularly at this pivotal time we call middle age.
So, there’s a little something for everyone.
To that end, with the actual move set for January 2nd, 2025 (we bought a one-way ticket!) and the visa application process about to hit the next series of big steps in early August, it’s the perfect time to become a paid subscriber.
Between now and the end of the year, we will cover every nook and cranny of the planning and practical/emotional preparation. This will continue from Spain as the year turns new with near-daily looks at what we’re doing and how everything is unfolding in our new country.
The best way to become a paid subscriber is to go for a founding membership. I convert all founding memberships to lifetime subscriptions. So, you pay $100 one time and never pay again. If you currently pay monthly or annually, you can upgrade, possibly at a pro-rated price. Nearly one-third of paid subscribers have a founding membership.
Entonces (so)—
It’s time to update the strategy I introduced here—
