When we first decided to move to Spain, we had no idea where we would end up!Â
Spain has so many amazing towns and cities that it's honestly one of the hardest decisions to make.
Which is why we are so excited about the AWESOME assessment our real estate partner created for the course (seriously, she's the best!)
She used data from government sources, cost of living indexes, and expat surveys to help match you with the regions that will actually fit your lifestyle.Â
This Move to Spain course exclusive assessment will give you a place to start when you're doing your search based on what matters to you đ€©Â
We wish we would have had something like this before moving to Spain!!Â
We just wanted to pop in with a little update from behind the scenesâŠ
Weâve been working awayâduring nap time, late at night, in between school drop-offsâgetting this course ready for you. And itâs turning into something really special.
We decided to start each module with a little story from our journeyâbecause weâve made every mistake you can think of.
We didnât have a guide when we moved to Spain. Just Google, guesswork, and a whole lot of crossed fingers.
So this course is kind of our way of saying:
Hereâs what we wish we had.
No fluff, no overwhelmâjust real, clear help for visas, taxes, healthcare, and everything in between.
And because every situation is different, weâve included 1:1 calls with us too. Not because we think weâre experts, but because weâve been thereâand weâre genuinely excited to walk through it with you.
Hereâs a little peek at what course-building looks like from our side đÂ
Thanks for being here. Launch day is getting close, and we canât wait to share this...
We're just so excited to hear from Alison and Stevenâour first small group members to make it to Spain.Â
They've now been in Valencia for 30 days and have been enjoying life in the city!
They first decided they wanted to move to Spain in February 2024, and a year later they've made that dream come true đ€©.Â
Watch this short clip where they talk about their journey and how we've worked together to bring them here.
We can't wait for this to be you!!
Did you know you still have to file taxes in the US when you move to Spain?
A lot of people are surprised by this. And some who move abroad are unaware and go years without filing their taxes, putting themselves at risk of getting fined. đ±Â
That's why we think it's so important to include a module in the course that covers your tax responsibilities as a US citizen living abroad.Â
Watch this sneak peek from our course, where Allen, our partner from Greenback Taxes, talks about continuing to file US taxes while abroad.Â
We are so excited to share this update with you all!!
As we're getting nearer to the finish line, we wanted to share the details of what our Move to Spain course will actually include đ
Â
This first release will include go-at-your-own-pace actionable lessons on:
đ Why move to Spain? A breakdown of the biggest lifestyle, financial, and cultural benefits.
đ Visas & Residency: Choosing the right visa, the application process, and avoiding common pitfalls.
đ Medical Insurance & Healthcare: Public vs. private insurance, whatâs required for visas, and how to access medical care.
đ Taxes (U.S. & Spain): What you need to know about filing taxes in both countries, common mistakes, and how to plan ahead.
The written and video course content is still evolving, and we'll be adding new modules each month based on what you need most!
Â
đ€© Welcome 1-on-1 (1h): The second you ...
We just got some fantastic news...
Shermalyn and her family have confirmed they'll be in Spain in July 2025!! đȘđž đ
Shermalyn and Lionel live in St. Lucia with their kids, 13-year-old son Shiloh and 7-year-old daughter Havana.
Shiloh and Havana love sports. With Shiloh being one of the best soccer players in his age range on the island!
When Shermalyn first started working with us, she let us know that she wanted to move her family to Spain to give her kids the opportunity to continue exploring their passion.
And now they'll be coming to Valencia, Spain, in just a few months.
It fills us with so much joy to see them this close to achieving their goal!! And we continue working hard to make sure we can do the same for you.
We've just been approved for our visa renewal!! đ± đÂ
This is so incredibly exciting because our next renewal means permanent residency!
And, once we become permanent residents, we will be able to stay in Spain indefinitely.Â
We can't believe we are one step closer to fulfilling our dream of raising our bilingual family in Spain. It's what we've been working towards for so long.Â
And it just makes us all the more passionate about doing the same for you.
While our path won't necessarily be your path, we think it's useful to share what moving towards permanent residency has looked like for us. Check it out below!
Happy New Year!Â
We've just finished writing out our resolutions for the new year, and we couldn't be more excited. đ„ł đÂ
In this new year, we want to:
Like many of you, moving to Spain was once at the top of our New Year's resolutions list.
And now, as we celebrate the start of our 4th year in Spain, we can truly say it was the best decision we ever made!
We can't wait for you to experience life here, too.
However youâre celebrating, we hope youâre enjoying the holidays, spending time with loved ones, and reflecting on the past yearâas well as the amazing new adventures that await in the New Year.
We are currently working on the Spanish taxes module of our course.
So, we thought it would be a great opportunity to answer one of the most commonly asked questions: "Do I need to pay taxes in Spain?"Â
The short answer is most likely.Â
For your first year here it will depend on what date you arrive, but from then on you will likely be doing your taxes in Spain.Â
This is because the majority of visas will require you to be present in Spain long enough to become a tax resident.Â
But there is one common exception!
Watch the sneak peek video above to learn more from Flor, our Spanish tax expert for the course.Â
We've now finished working on the visa module for the course. And we're so excited!! đ€©
This module will enable you to discover which visa is best for you. And will include:
As you can imagine, this is a pretty important part of the course. And we just can't wait for you to see it.
In fact, we wanted to share a quick clip with you today. Watch our sneak peek above!Â
