About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of expat life in Spain and the pursuit of happiness abroad.
A lot of people move to Spain thinking they'll find happiness abroad. In reality, though, expat life is complicated, and happiness is far from guaranteed. Here are my thoughts on a "feeling of home", on getting away from it all, on Americans' love for moving, and much more. Support the podcast at https://expatmadrid.com/donate/ I appreciate it!
