Who am I?

My name is Carla and I’m the author of this blog. I think I’m allowed to write on the topic of moving to Spain given that I moved to said country 3 times in the last two years. I’ve experienced it all: from the joys of botelloning, meeting new friends, shopping and traveling in Spain, to the horrors of Spanish bureaucracy, Barcelona pick-pocketers and the sadness induced by Madrid cops killing my botellón.

The idea for this blog came from the fact that I was asked a zillion times “How did you do it?”.

Now you know.

I’m always open to comments and opinions. On what I wrote, or could write about.

Also, I offer a series of services and specialized help on any of the points mentioned below, in exchange for a very small fee.

But, who knows, you can always just email me and if your message is moving enough I might just help you with stuff out of pity the goodness of my heart. I can offer you:

-Airport Pick-Up/Orientation/Tour Guiding

-Cheap Hostel Bookings (9 euro a night in Madrid, for example)

-Moving/Shipping Your Stuff

-Finding You An Apartment Before You Arrive

-Lining Up Job Interviews for When You Arrive
