    Much safer here....safer than the US.....I live in Spain, the Canary Islands.....healthcare....I will never go back!

    It’s so refreshing to watch Americans realize that the world is full of amazing countries with better standard of living than the one we have here in the US.
  • Nothing makes me happier than seeing Americans living abroad and loving it. We Americans have that saying here "the greatest country in the world". Well, we know this isn't true. In fact, it sounds immature and it doesn't exist anywhere. I think people here don't realize the tension and stress the average person lives with. I've only visited Barcelona in Spain and loved it but I know the south is beautiful. I hope you're still enjoying living there.

    'The children are not on I-Pads or phones. People are talking. They do things together. The kids will find something to play with...' Spain's splendid sense of family and community.

    I visited madrid twice and never felt more at home. I made friends instantly & fell in love with the people and Spanish food. GOD! I want to go back so bad🤦🏻‍♂️
  • Good to see Americans realising that they are fed a lot of BS about anywhere else. Roundabouts are fantastic and save multiple lives.
  • As I Spaniard I habe observed most Americans agree on fresh food, safety and chillout-friendly community. Go Spain!

    We lived in Southern Spain for 3 years and we loved it. You are so spot on on everything.
  • I want to move to Spain. I’m from the USA, and I went to Madrid a couple years ago, and I love the beer, food, people, and the madrileño accent.

    I love 💕 Spain, 🇪🇸Best time of my life!!! Thank you for sharing!
  • I am originally from the Philippines and currently living in Australia, but I am planning to move to Spain since my heritage is Spanish and to improve my Spanish language since the Philippines was named in honour of King Felipe of Spain

    Lived 8 years in Murcia. Spain is a wonderful place to live, if it wasnt that I had to return home to care for my mother after a stroke, I would still be there.

    I lived in Puerto de Santa Maria for 4 years & absolutely loved it. We plan to go back permanently ASAP. ❤️🇪🇸

    I lived in eleven countries and visited over 80. Spain is the greatest country in the world to live, I have not doubts. By the way, the food is AMAZING! Where did you eat!?

    I've lived in Catalonia for the past 20 years. I miss some things about Southern California where I'm from but I am happy. I have healthcare, good food, good wine and have made good local friends. I am grateful for having the opportunity to live in this part of the Iberian peninsula <3 I live in a big City and the style of life is different from rural Andalusia. It is more cosmopolitan and denser, noisier ... but it's still liveable Peace out

    I fell in LOVE with Spain!! Been there a few times and dream of living there. I would have to agree with all this couple said except the part about the food in Spain. Spanish food is AMAZING an not just tapas!
