LOL, the last thing I would want to think about is tying my phone to me! People are already 'married' to their phones :) Not sure how I would react if someone were to attempt a 'pick pocket' act. Read More

Molly here, looking to move to Spain with my husband, we would be happy to hear from anyone who has private health insurance or has knowledge of which ones may be the best. Thanks to this site we have a lot of other useful info :)
Thank you! Yes, we're concerned about requirements. Some countries even have an age cutoff limit. I'm going to be doing lots of research, but I still think it's the way to go. Hopefully, Spain will not ever go through what Greece has ... Read More

IF all goes according to plan, lol, and what does, then a trip hopefully will take place either in late 2016 or early 2017. We already have a son in Norway who is married and having immigration issues of his own! Because they have a child, it would ... Read More

Hi, new to this blog. We're contemplating an extended period in Spain when my husband retires. I'm looking for up to date info on visas, taxes, health insurance and income requirements. Also 'heritage' visas? My husband is Hispanic ... Read More
