My wife and I currently live in Chicago, and both have been born and raised here. Several factors have contributed to our current consideration of a move to Spain (whether temporary or permanent). The first and most important factor is that we have visited Spain several times, have traveled through quite a bit of the country and so far, have loved it (except for Madrid). As you all know, the people are fascinating as are the culture, food, terrain and climate. We are young and have caught the bug for adventure. Thats reason number one. Number two is that the recent year has been less than satisfactory in our careers. Both working in the film business in the States has been disappointing recently, and we have been feeling less of a magnetism to our home-land. A general sentiment that if we’re not making as much money at home, we might as well not be making much money in a foreign country, experiencing something unforgettable! The third reason is simply that neither one of us has lived outside of our great city, and being in our twenties, we feel that this could be an opportunity to do so.
This brings us to our question, broad as it may be: Should we do it? How is the social/economic climate over there, and are there people out there who have done the same as us and found it either a great experience or a horrible one? Please let us know, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!
