I like the part when you talked about living your life which rarely happens in the USA due to stress.
Thank you! Yes traveling has made me realize some of the cultural norms I grew up with don’t necessarily apply everywhere in the world.
I hope y'all stay together and grow together while exploring the world. I can see years from now y'all looking back at these experiences together amusingly.
Thank you! 😊 I think one of the best ways to strengthen a relationship is by traveling together 💪🏾 We can’t wait to look back on all of the adventures we did when we were young
Enjoy!! I did a year teaching in Bilbao last year and moved to the Netherlands for my master this year :) You will have to visit the North, it's so amazing
I’ve always wanted to visit the north🤩that’s awesome! Hope you are enjoying your year
I have Basque and Spanish descent and is a dream to go to Basque Country!
I saw myself in the Seville montage
I love this video, the sound effects, and the shout out! ❤️
Great hearing about moving to and living in Spain! A learning experience, for sure! Looking forward to the next one- new jobs, new apartment, new city. ….livin the dream ❤
Thank you♥️♥️
My boyfriend and I are moving to Spain in a few weeks from Canada on a working holiday visa 😁. We are also wanting to move to southern Spain. So happy and excited to see you both are having such an amazing time! We will definitely be following your journey!!
Thank you so much for your comment!! 😊 Enjoy Andalucía and good luck in your journey🙏🏾
May I ask what you done in Spain for work? I am a UK citizen who works full time as a firefighter. I have been a firefighter most of my adult life so it’s all the qualifications I have but optimistic to try any type of work in Spain, just don’t know what I can do. I know some Spanish to and actively attend language classes. My girlfriend will be with me to. Any help or guidance will be massively appreciated! Thank you! Also thanks for this video, really helpful !
you two radiate such beautiful energy! so happy for you both. Just subscribed as ill be moving to south spain this fall to teach as well (: thank you guys for the shared experiences and advice!! Best wishes to you both
Thanks for the video, man. I'm teaching ESL now and looking to move to Spain in the future. Good luck
Thank you for watching! Good luck to you as well
Thanks for sharing ❤
OMG. thank God you are okay after the car indecent. You are a lovely couple and I admire your outlook. Blessings to you.
Thank you for your comment Jose🙏🏾 blessings to you as well!
Bienvenidos de nuevo. These old cheap cars are good if you have to do a small distance to get to work. If you do real kilometers they will break
That car crash looked scary. Glad you both are ok. I’m gonna be in Madrid this summer so I’m watching as much content on Spain as possible. Your video has been great in helping me prepare!
Thank you I appreciate that. Good luck in Madrid🤟🏾
Anytime! And thank you too 🙏🏾!
Love Seville, Granada, Andalucia and Spain in general! Fortunately, I learned early on how to drive a straight shift so when I moved to the Costa Blanca in 2006 and bought a car, it was great except for having my car confiscated twice due to traffic violations which I eventually sorted out. Unfortunately, my employer failed to obtain the documentation for me to work there legally so I had to quickly sell my car and leave. Now, I’m saving to buy a house in Spain and try to find a way to stay there permanently, if possible. Hope to cross paths with you soon.
Dog hanging still legal in Andalusia. Look up the suffering of Spanish hunting Galgo dogs then all your boring little problems will fade into insignificance. Open your eyes.
wow guys that is so brave form you,very happy you like and come to spain to live!i am from Madrid ,but living in fuerteventura(canary island),i hope you the best!! Granada is a beatifull and easy small city to live.
Hey y’all! Found this video & it’s funny because we are doing the exact same thing but in Sevilla😊 we also studied abroad before this but in Madrid.
Awesome y’all are doing this & vlogging the experience - let us know if you come back to Sevilla & we can all meet up!
Oh now I realize this was last year 😂
Glad everything worked out for y’all in the end - sounds like it was a crazy ride
@@JourneywithJenandDrew thank you so much for your comment🙏🏾 Hope you guys are having a great school year so far! Enjoy Sevilla!!! 💃🏼
When you are working in the City, you need not actally a car. In the city i prefer a Scooter, so we can move around the city and outside.And you dont have stress for a Parking place. For longer distance, in Spain, you can take the Train or Buses or Plan, when you like to visti some Islands.
I wish you a good stay in my country. If you enjoy skiing Granada is a good place too and from the summit you can even see Morocco in a clear day. Also, find some time to explore other places of Spain, it is very diverse and the train connections are good, although by car is more enjoyable.
Thank you for your comment! Looking forward to exploring more of your beautiful country
I came from Germany to Cataluna 3 years ago. Now I am planning to buy my own house in Andalucia withing the next 1-2 years. Depends a bit on how long it takes me to find the perfect house. I totally can understand the culture that you like. The mix is just beautiful. But I have to admit that you two seem to be slowed already down to the lifestyle of Andalucia. Which is beautiful.
Definitely had a big impact on our personalities👌🏾
I have seen beautiful house just outside big cities up north .
250 000 for a beautiful villa and swimming pool .
Would love to move To Spain
@@noneofyourbuizness same for me. Just i look more South. It's incredible how beautiful and simple life can be. Unfortunately I'll have to look for a year or two to find "mine" since I fall in love with places every week. I guess that's a luxury problem.
@@CaptianInternet haha ! well nothing bad about it.
Good luck in finding your dream house !🙏
The quality of this video 😊☺️
Wow, thank you!
Both of you are super dope, great video. In college right now and thinking about this but maybe not be a teacher Ahah.
Thank you for your comment! Let us know if you have any questions or anything👍🏾
Wellcome to Granada, espero veros para tomar unas tapas! 👍
Muchas gracias por la bienvenida 🙏🏾 Cuando volvemos a Granada me encantaría conocerte!
Nice video thank you for it
I had to learn to drive on a different side of the road! I still cock up now. I certainly have no experience of automatic cars ha..
i have residency, how did you get on with all that as its a difficult process from the uk. Mainly the 400% IPREM for the NLV.❤
Was difficult for us as well😂 that’s just how things go in Spain though.
Rip Nissan primera, im glad you’re ok
This is my car in the U.S. It's the Nissan G20. Good to know it's solid as a rock!
Hi! I am planning to teach english on a TEFL in Italy next fall (2024). What paperwork did you get before you went?
Hello! I’m assuming the paperwork would be different in Italy but there’s a pretty extensive list you can find online if you just search “Italy visa requirements.”
How’s your experience in Spain with English as I hear most don’t speak it. Of course I know some basic Spanish and definitely learning more as we speak but I obviously can’t be expected to know every single word off the bat. Could I get by with English for a bit at least in the bigger cities like Madrid?
I enjoyed the video! I also want to move to Spain, I was wondering how you were able to rent a place, turn on electricity, internet, and any other utilities without a Spain ID? Can you please explain how that works? TYSM!
Hi Cathy! Thank you for your comment :) So to search for rentals in Spain I recommend using the applications, Idealista and Fotocasa. Both are super user friendly and will give you a lot of information about the apt you're interested in. I don't recommend renting before you take a visit to the apt for obvious reasons! Most times, you'll be able to find something fully furnished, however electricity, wifi, gas (community) are often not included. A national ID number is usually required (NIE) and you can get that once you apply for your visa to come to Spain! I hope this was helpful. Please reach back out if you have any other questions!
@@EvanHailes Im curious what visa you get through this program? Thanks!
@@VetaParco hi Veta! With this program you’ll just need a student visa😊
We can help with all visa and immigration and also registering your car here.
Southern Spain El Sur de California de Europa but a lot more chilled, and the food 🥘 the Food!! Omg, sorry but there, no comparisons 🤤😋
I agree! Some of the best in the world
My boyfriend and I both studied in Spain and are planning on doing the same thing next october! We are concerned about not being placed together for the program. How did you get placed together in the same city?
You can request to be placed together in the statement of purpose/letter you have to write and submit! We wrote the place and we want to go and that we wanted to be placed together in the first sentence 😅
Winters are cold in Spain? Compared to what?
What do you plan on doing after? And how long are you staying in Spain
We are now living and working in Thailand!
So what caused the accident?
Glad to hear that you are both OK
Thank you! Bad tires and bad weather. But we’re very blessed🙏🏾
So do you recommend moving to spain to study in college and stay in spain after college??
I personally didn't do that. I studied abroad in Spain in college, came back and finished school. Then decided on returning here to live and teach English!
Gracias por este video, espero más y si pueden dar contenidos en español os vais a sorprender la cantidad de suscriptores que vais a aumentar. Gracias
Por supuesto! Tienes razón y gracias por mirar el vídeo. Si claro, en el futuro cercano se puede esperar vídeos en español!
Wow , you chose to pay double and commute 2 hours instead of a quiet town . I would just visit Granada on weekends. Big mistake IMO . I visited several cities in the south , and really want to visit some smaller towns .
Nah man, no mistake at all. Living in Granada was one of the best decisions we ever made. Having a car gave us the freedom we wanted to travel, see Andalucía. Would do the same thing again tbh
@@EvanHailes I don't mean the car . I mean the commute , cost , waste of time and energy and giving up the chance of staying in a smaller town. You really made it hard on yourselves. Smaller towns are also a different experience that most people never have. When you get more experience , you will understand . Having a long commute is one of the biggest problems we face .
@@jasavak I agree, the commute was definitely tough on us. But an experience like living in Granada, we couldn't pass up. I will never regret that opportunity. Hope you are well and enjoying your year!
There is so much I love about Spain but I see you both glistening a bit. I take it there's no air conditioning?
None at all😂
@@EvanHailes Barcelona it is. 😆
We’re moving in July 2023!
Exciting!! Good luck in your journey👍🏾
😂😂 hehe this is dope 🔥
Thank you kind sir
What degree did you get? And is it important/relevant for teaching and what ur doing now? Been watching your vids recently and they are very informative 🙌
I have a degree in International Business so more or less. If you want to do this program, you just need to have a bachelors degree. It doesn't matter the degree.
Thank you so much, could you link the program that you used again? And also did you start the program after or during the process of getting your bachelors degree? Im about to graduate highschool and don’t know what degree I’m going to study yet but I know I want to travel the world, teach English, and continue studying my native language which is Spanish. Thank you for answering my previous questions!
Esos platos antes de comenzar el video ya dicen que vuestra ciudad elegida es Granada.
Si, verdad! Son muy típico y especial de esta ciudad.
Creo que no se pude soplar y sorber al mismo tiempo. O pones tu vida por delante y la alegría de vivir, o pones tu trabajo y la aburrida productividad social.
What's your mic
A random one I got online😂
Manual cars are fun
Viva España
all the inmigrants complaining about spanish burocratic problems..thats a thing when you are OUT OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY, everywhere!
remember you are the inmigrants here, thank you for your patience
As if it were easy to have US green card XDDD
I've heard native Spaniards complain about the bureaucracy as well. No need to be defensive
If you stay in Spain for more than 6 months you will need to take a Spanish driving test.
Depend witch country you come, some countries have contract with spain , then you neeed only a health test.
@@Marco-zt6fz Sure, if you come from the European Union. If you are from the States, UK, Australia etc, you need to take a full driving test.
Very American of you. Move to Spain, immediately have an hour commute.
Haha exactly 😂
Bro you look like Kid Cudi
First time I’ve heard this🤣 ppl usually say Jamie Foxx
@@EvanHailes looool
spain and freemasons had a war. freemasonry controls spain now again but its english freemasonry. your known as a sonsson i cant tell you here. but i come from an ancient spanish clan im known as the peasant king. but i can give you some hand guestures the moors gave my family.i dont want anything in return just make a video promoting tourism in iraneta and islas canaria
Interesting. Send me an email: evanhailes28@gmail.com
Es horrible, no compren un coche de más de 10 años y que haya pasado la revisión el mismo año. Un coche muy barato no es buena idea.
Las chinches es porque la gente que vive ahí no limpia, los estudiantes no limpian el colchón y los propietarios tampoco. Vigilen.
Gracias, por tu aviso!
Comprar un coche viejo depende del trato, si no entiendes o no tienes confianza con el vendedor es como jugar en bolsa , puede que salga mal o bien. yo por problemas he tenido que comprar un coche de 15 años y si no tiene una rotura en 3 meses se cumplen las cuentas en positivo a uno nuevo. todo depende de como tengas la economia en ese momento y de la confianza que tengas con el vendedor ( muchos estafan u ocultan problemas en coches viejos y no tan viejos ).
Lo de la limpieza , un poco parecido al coche, hay inquilinos que son un poco cerdos y el propietario no mira la limpieza solo tener sus ingresos cada mes por alquilar , como en el coche todo depende con que tipo de persona des ya que hay quien cuida su propiedad e inquilinos y quien le da completamente igual todo siempre que obtenga su pago .
Imagino que como en cualquier parte del mundo todo depende de que tipo de personas te cruces en tu camino/vida . Suerte en españa y esperemos que des con buena gente en ese camino jaja
@@joselopez-yf9jq gracias Jose, por el mensaje 🙏🏾
I new you were potencial victims of a car accident before you even got to that point in the video.
Americans drive too fast. Here distances are shorter, and life has a diffrent pace, there's no need to hurry
While that may be true sometimes, I was actually driving a lot slower than the speed limit because of our old tires and the rain that day. But unexpected things can happen and we were very lucky to walk away with no injuries
@@EvanHailes Had an accident myself and I know how lucky I was as well to come out save and sound.
Bueno saber que sois prudentes
Keep it up
This is the reason i always tell to people /friends coming from America to take driving lessons when they move to Europe. I mean,guys with all the respect,you have your driving license from USA,or latin America conturies,but most of you don't really know to drive. I have a friend from Venezuela who moved here in Spain and he found a car to buy. I drove him and another friend to the seller's place ,in Guadalajara ,he bought the car and he drove it back to our village,me following him....A disaster....He drove all the way at mostly 50KM/h,because ,,this road is full of curves and very thin'' ,being honked and forming a line of dozens of other cars behind him,he almost crashed in 2 roundabouts because he didn't knew he had to give priority to the cars already in the round....As he is stubborn as a donkey and refused to take lessons at a driving school because ,,it's humiliating,man,how would i look there surrounded by kids'',because he thot the driving school is kind of kindergarden or sh...t, i had to teach him myself, now he knows how to control the car even on ice and snow (me ,being romanian,i'm used to this as we have like 4 months each year of roads covered with ice and snow)
He didn’t know he had to give priority to cars already in the roundabout? What a dumb ass.
Now I live in Spain and I’m English speaker but it’s very difficult for me to learn Spanish because in Spain mostly people speak Spanish and they can’t speak English
Jajajaja, que cosa más rara en España la mayoría de la gente habla español....y en Francia , francés y en Japón, japonés, que rara es la gente, con lo fácil que es el inglés...Hay una poesía española, satírica que dice, "Asombrose un español que todos los niños en Francia , sabían hablar francés..."
What a crazy thinh uh? people in Spain speaks spanish.... some of you are really lazy learners
How would them speaking English help you learn spanish anyways? What better way than being fully immersed?
no to miscegenation!
I really pity the uninformed population. Retiring from public service made me realize that I had no means of passive income, and in 35 years, I had only moved round in circles financially. I feel very accomplished every time I remember my journey and how I've been able to grow my income to 6 figures.
@@user-gb5jj2co8d I started my journey with roughly 2 thousand sometime in 2018 and by late 2019, I made over 750 thousand with no prior knowledge or skill in the financial market, I was basically just following the guidelines set by my teacher.
/This is not the first time I am hearing of Ms Loiuse Amanda Mussel and her amazing trading skills but I have no idea how to get to her.
@@user-pr2zn2om7e She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a search on her name and came across her credentials and website; thank you for sharing.
Lord, just say you're not ready for the real-world vids, not bad, very slow paced, but lord cut all the bs
Hmm explain what you mean further
Leave spain, theres no freedom here
Why do you say that?
@@EvanHailes i live here and i have to register everything i do, plus my taxes are high af.
@@EvanHailes and they are so racist too, right now there is a politic party called VOX, and they want to deport inmigrants, so fuck spain
@@EvanHailes i once didnt register a set of rims for my car, they took it, and i had to pay 3500 to have it back
cause of what ??? socialism communist? etc etc no?@@omar.benz217
That woman doesen't look very happy to me.
I think she has regret of some of her decissions.
As the woman you are referring to, I have no regret actually! Just appreciating, learning, & growing throughout this experience. I’m living an amazing life!
Why? Because she isn't loud and giggly like a teenager? She seems like a worldly and calm person, traits I am sure her boyfriend appreciates.
@@mackenziepost you look miserable
Yeah, I thought the same thing. I think ole MacKenzie be boo-shittin' up in here.
I saw myself in the Seville montage
