I have been a firefighter most of my adult life so it’s all the qualifications I have but optimistic to try any type of work in Spain, just don’t know what I can do.

    • @EvanHailes
      @EvanHailes  Год назад +4

      Hi Cathy! Thank you for your comment :) So to search for rentals in Spain I recommend using the applications, Idealista and Fotocasa. Both are super user friendly and will give you a lot of information about the apt you're interested in. I don't recommend renting before you take a visit to the apt for obvious reasons! Most times, you'll be able to find something fully furnished, however electricity, wifi, gas (community) are often not included. A national ID number is usually required (NIE) and you can get that once you apply for your visa to come to Spain! I hope this was helpful. Please reach back out if you have any other questions!

      Lo de la limpieza , un poco parecido al coche, hay inquilinos que son un poco cerdos y el propietario no mira la limpieza solo tener sus ingresos cada mes por alquilar , como en el coche todo depende con que tipo de persona des ya que hay quien cuida su propiedad e inquilinos y quien le da completamente igual todo siempre que obtenga su pago .

    That woman doesen't look very happy to me.
    I think she has regret of some of her decissions.

      As the woman you are referring to, I have no regret actually! Just appreciating, learning, & growing throughout this experience. I’m living an amazing life!

      Why? Because she isn't loud and giggly like a teenager? She seems like a worldly and calm person, traits I am sure her boyfriend appreciates.
