Story · Spain
A year after moving our family from the US to Spain, these were our biggest wins and regrets
The author recounts her family's move from Connecticut to Spain in August 2025, seeking a healthier, slower lifestyle. Key wins include their children's seamless adjustment, no regret over selling possessions, a strengthened marriage, a welcoming local community, and the author's improved health (weight loss, reduced anxiety). Regrets include not learning Spanish beforehand, underestimating the school commute without a car, failing to research local allergens affecting their son's asthma, and renting a flat with poor natural light and no outdoor space. Despite challenges, the family feels Spain has become home faster than expected.
