Spain is a really nice place to live. It features clean and well-ordered modern cities, cultural sophistication and a laid-back pace of life. Nowadays the economy isn't doing too well (actually it hasn't been doing too well for over 15 years). However, Kangarunner has location-independent income and the cost of living isn't as high as it is in places like the US and UK, so he should be okay in that regard.Natural_Born_Cynic wrote: ↑June 12th, 2023, 12:42 pmDamn.. I guess the grass isn't greener on the other side. I don't know you should try Spain instead? Columbians tend to be selfish and greedy bastards who only care about making money. They are sociable and friendly, but they are not perfect either. I know because I worked them in the past.
In Spain, outside of touristic areas, knowledge of Spanish is a must (you guys have gotta get good at languages). However, as soon as you learn Spanish to a decent level, it becomes relatively easy to integrate.
One thing that I must warn you about Spain is that there is absolutely no "white god" factor. Nobody is going to worship you because you're a White American or Brit. You have no major advantage in the dating market and have to compete with many attractive Spanish and other European men.
Fortunately, in any major Spanish city there are many foreign women from all over Latin America, Eastern Europe and elsewhere. You could probably date some of those foreign women with relative ease. Anecdotally, I met my Peruvian ex-girlfriend in Spain (she was a student studying for her master's degree at the University of Valencia). However, you need to be fluent in Spanish to meet people among these immigrant communities.
