If you are in a city centre in Spain you can eat whenever you like. Also, many, many shops are open too. Yes, the paperwork is very slow and painful. (A Scot living in Malaga city)
What a good vídeo! But in my opinion, one our biggest things is that all have hours, for example you can't drink a beer before 12 PM and this makes Españita Great!
Emma. Shea Jordan is in Italy and is a language teacher. She offers her perspective of moving to a different country. Is ac common where you live? What about screens in windows? What time is lunch or dinner ? Do people go on vacations in August? Do businesses shut down at 2 or 3 in the afternoon? Would like your perspective of Europeans vs Americans. Thank you. 😊
Very helpful video! My husband and I are planning on moving to Seville, Spain at the end of next month 🙌 with our two kiddos. My biggest worry is not being able to make friends, bc I remember the culture there being very cliquey . But that’s good to know that other foreigners are more open to new friendships. I’ve visited twice but it’s been about 8 years now. 😅
How exciting! That's a big decision, congratulations 🙌 I totally agree that Spanish people can be cliquey - but there's a huge international community here. Just put yourself out there, try to find different activities and hobbies and you'll make friends in no time :) If you want we can even meet up for a coffee!
11:00 En España la burocracia para conseguir documentación es lenta, pero en tres años ya tiene un permiso de residencia definitivo, ¿cuantos extranjeros llevan 20 o más años viviendo en estados unidos en situación ilegal, porque les es imposible conseguir la documentación de forma alguna? muchos, un montón.
Man I love the ending ! Everything you said I resonated with ! I’ll need to see what life is like outside the USA 🇺🇸 to be able to better understand where you are coming from ! I have to see this for myself but I believe you whole heartedly !
Hey Emma! I’ve lived in the US both east coast and currently California. I’m tired of the closed off people here. I recently learned through ancestry I’m 50% Spanish! It’s peaking my interest to come visit and possibly move there. Do you think it would be a good place for a single person to move to? Would you describe it as a breath of fresh air moving there from the U.S.?
Una cosa muy buena que tiene España, es que tienes atención sanitaria gratis desde que pones un pie en España, creo que en EEUU es muy diferente, si no tienes dinero no te atienden.
@@emlanguages bueno realmente la atención sanitaria no es gratis, se paga mediante los impuestos que nos quitan a los trabajadores de nuestra nómina. Pero no van a dejar de atender a nadie, por no tener dinero..... En EEUU si no tienes dinero o un seguro, estás perdido.
People have cliques. One of your cliques could be language learning teachers or professionals. Life is not gauged by how many friends one has on facebook, or subscribers on youtube. You always have friends from the USA!😊
Thanks for this video! I am from Portland so I relate to a lot of these. Can I ask, for your VISA with your Spanish partner, while waiting for the documentation were you allowed to stay in Spain? That's my biggest worry with documentation, recently I left spain when my VISA was coming to an end...
Hi! Yes I was allowed to stay in Spain because I had all of the documents showing that we had started the visa process. I’ve never had any problems with immigration in Spain and I’ve traveled in and out of the country the last 4 years! 😊 BTW what part of Spain are you living in??
Super relieving to know! I had been living in Mexico for a year but then I went to Valencia and Madrid to scope out where I would want to live. Right now im back in the PNW, not sure where I want to live in Spain yet. Seville was of interest which is how I found your video.@@emlanguages
11:27 I feel the same way about New Jersey ! People are very introverted and anti social ! It’s hard to make friends here ! Plus New Jersey is super expensive like California and New York City ! Gotta get out of here !
no es solo burocracia española..estas haciendo papeles para convivir en 27 paises de la union europea y poder entrar a otros paises sin problemas del espacio schengen...y asi circular libremente por ellos...saludos
Have you ever lived in a different country? What was your experience like? ✈

Hi Peter! You "can't" or "shouldn't" drink beer before 12 pm? I've seen some older people drinking beer for breakfast 😂
What an amazing podcast. I really enjoy it. I'd like to know about your own culture!!
Hi Brian! I'm so glad you enjoy it 🥰 In the next few weeks I will share more about the culture here in the USA!

If you’re curious about life outside the US, give it a try! It’s so eye opening, you’ll see life in a completely different way.

@@carlosvergara2243 hey! It depends on the city, but yes I think it’s a great place for single people!
Es falso que todas las tiendas esten cerradas a la hora de comer. Los supermercados no cierran a mediodia, ni las cadenas de tiendas.
Una cosa muy buena que tiene España, es que tienes atención sanitaria gratis desde que pones un pie en España, creo que en EEUU es muy diferente, si no tienes dinero no te atienden.
Tienes toda la razón! El sistema sanitario de España está muy bien organizado, te atienden muy bien. En USA es otra historia…

why do you plan on moving back to the US? Just curious!
@@RaysaSylvester hi! I actually don’t plan on moving back!
Shopping centers and supermarkets will be open all day.

Lunch is 2, 3, or 4 pm? 😮 Dinner at 9 pm? 😮 Emma. Life is about the journey, not the destination! I'll keep you in my prayers!
Why are you moving back to the USA ?
🇺🇸
The USA is a nice place to live if you are rich ! 🤑
