Hi nj_bcn, I apologize for not writing back sooner. I think it is very admirable of you to take this dual citizenship concern seriously, though I'd encourage you to not agonize over it. There is a legal grey zone that nobody has an interest in ... Read More

Natilly, I'm in my third year of TEFL, though I taught courses in graduate school before this. Teaching in general is a confidence trick, so to speak, because the more confidence you emit the more your students will believe you, listen to you, and ... Read More

Hi Natilly! Welcome to Valencia! You might try some of the social events at Portland Ale House, specifically the English night on Thursdays (where English speakers get free beer for leading English conversations with Spaniards) or the Pub Quiz ... Read More

Hi Sarah828, I'm sure you're enjoying it here, despite all the rain (atypical for Valencia, but typical for the season). I wrote a blog entry a while ago where I compiled all my usual suggestions for Fallas and ... Read More

I also saw this elsewhere (on the facebook feed of InVLC Magazine), and tore it apart there. So I'm going to tear this article apart here, too. This guy, Paul Mason, was clearly out to do a hatchet-job, and was very biased, arguably deceitful in how ... Read More

Hi Julien! Thanks for this suggestions! A few Valencian bloggers and I were trying to organize a get together this past April... but I think it might be better to wait until after the summer. (Of the people I know, and myself included, many will be ... Read More

I can't help you on the tattoo questions, but I have a couple of suggestions on neighborhoods and schools. First schools. I'm an American, so in my expat communities people talk about the American School (out of town, but provides busing: ... Read More

Getting work residency can be easy or difficult depending on your particular background. If you marry a Spaniard it is 100% easy. If you have an employer willing to sponsor you, it's not that difficult. Otherwise, it takes time, and might be very ... Read More
