Living ALONE in Spain - My Experience
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2022
- My experience living alone in Spain. Well, I guess I don't technically live alone because I have an apartment full of new Spanish friends, but I can here alone. I moved to Spain months ago and I didn't know anyone, nor did I speak the language. At first I felt very alone. It was hard to get accustomed to the new culture, speak the language, and deal with not having close friends or family. With time, things got better. I started to learn the culture and establish routine while meeting new friends that made me feel at home and less alone, I love them. I went to school to study Spanish, which helped out with getting accustomed and less isolated in society. Moving to Spain and living in Spain alone can be very scary and at times hard, but it is the best decision I have made with my life. Living in Europe abroad or somewhere new can be difficult, yet very interesting.
I want my channel to be about travel, adventure, and lifetsyle

Bro, you seem a kind person
Really appreciate your honesty and the effort you put in to post videos so regularly! They really make my day as I also have the desire to spend time in Spain for a longer period of time :) Thank youu
Hey! You really make my day with such kind comments :)
I think you should spend some time on Spain! Anywhere away from home can really be beneficial to your growth as a person. For all you know, maybe you fall in love with Spain and stay here for a while!
Also, I am always trying to improve my videos, so if you see anywhere that could be better, please let me know!!!
Great to see an honest perspective of your experience! Great video mate
Cheersys mate I appreciate the stoke
Omg 😫 literally can’t imagine having to move FOUR times, that’s so rough. It’s nice to see things have improved and you’re settled 😊 Moving abroad is rough, but if you’re clear on why you’re doing it, it’s definitely worth the adventure. Thanks for sharing your story!😊
Things were very hectic at the start, but they have settled down now and I am very happy :)
If you don’t mind me asking, where are you from?
@@comfortablylost6459 I’m from Massachusetts (go Sox, go Pats!) and my family is west African by origin. Watching your content from Valencia tho ☺️
@@vinylwaif Oh that’s amazing! Have you seen me in my Boston hat yet? I’m not sure if I’ve worn it in a video but I love the Sox!
Well, thank you so much for your support. You’re always writing me the sweetest comments and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness ❤️
@@comfortablylost6459 yes I have, it’s awesome! 🥹 my pleasure, thanks for the great content!
Oye,I'm not gonna lie I loved this video and I've already subscribed and liked.I hope your channel grows because this content is amazing man.
Love from SA 🇿🇦
Oye! You are AMAZING! Thank you so much for this kind comment. I would love to visit SA one day, seems like such an interesting place.
Cheers!
Wow, This was another great video, i'm doing the same thing moving to Valencia in January. The realism and honesty of this video has really helped me put it in perspective. Im learning a lot through your experience, thanks for making these videos! looking forward to starting my own journey also very nervous 😅
Thanks my friend! Your move is coming up very soon, it is totally understandable that would feel nervous! I think this will be a great experience for you. There is no definitive route that anyone takes, it’s a matter of figuring yourself out and learning along the way! Stoked for you :)
@@comfortablylost6459 Thanks, do you have discord or IG? If your down for a video chat, Would be awesome to get to know some fellow content creators in Valencia.
@@RSAremiXx yeah man I actually just made an instragam a couple days ago:
@Comfortablylost.jpg
@@comfortablylost6459 Sick, i'll message you on Insta!!
Really liked this an happy you’re making a place for yourself 😊
I love Valencia. Hopefully visit again for the fourth time in 2023. Thanks for showing an honest video rather than "I moved, everyone is great as is everything" which is nonsense, as there are always challenges as you have mentioned.
I hope you get a chance to visit in 2023 as well! I have since moved home but it was such an amazing life experience. Like you said, moving far from home can bring plenty of problems but they all help towards personal development
Thank you for posting this.
Awesome video! I had done a road trip through Spain in August 2019 and planned to study abroad in Valencia for my spring 2020 semester, but the pandemic forced me to put that on hold. Now that I’m finishing up my master’s degree, I’m wanting to find a way to do what I was unable to in 2020 and live in Valencia for a bit. Thank you for the thorough and honest insight into your own experience!
Excellent perceptions. Growing in wisdom and strength. I especially admire how open you've made yourself. Your attitude is serving you well and you seem to realize that this strength may occasionally abandon you, but that's just temporary. It passes. I am enjoying your journey. Buena suerte desde Asturias.
That is a very beautiful comment to read right now ❤️
Seriously, often times I feel a sense of loneliness due to being so far from my loved ones, but I 100% agree with what you have to say about strength coming and going! Even in those bad days it’s always nice to realize that the storm will pass :)
Thank you again for your kindness!! You are a really great person
Happy for you dude! You really helped me a lot with your videos. Tomorrow is my 30th day here in Valencia and I am so happy I have taken this step!
Hey Im happy for you as well man! How have the past 30 days been? Have you been getting accustomed to the city?
You inspiring dude, keep doing what you doing💪🏾💪🏾
Nice video dude!
Thanks bro, moving to Spain to hopefully, vid helped me a lot. just a realy great vid to watch full stop
i’m in valencia now, too. had pretty the same parts of my first months here.
thank you for your videos, always so great!
I am glad to hear that it is relatable! I think so many people believe that moving to another city or nation is easy, but it is far from that. Although, once you figure out life it is very rewarding:) thank you for your comment!
you have such a fun friendly vibe and make me feel great about choosing spain for uni ,ive been wanting to move there for 4 years now and ill def be going this september
I think you will enjoy it a ton! I have since moved home because I was only studying there for a year, but I look forward to when I get to visit again! I hope all goes well with your uni :)
I m Happy for you because you're doing great now , I m gonna go to Valencia next year to finish my studies and you re helping me a loot and I appreciate it . I hope that you do more videos about the life and the university there , thank you so much 💜
Universities*
Hey! Thank you for the sweet comment ❤️
I am glad I can help you out. Is there anything in particular you want to see in the University area? I’m sure I can go over there one of these days :)
@@comfortablylost6459 reallyyy thank you sooo much actually i want to study architecture there and i don t know how the university looks like
and because i want to study architecture in english everyone recomended u.v for me
You're an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your experience in Spain.
You’re an inspiration to me! It’s comments like these that keep me motivated to continue making new content
Very real, in going to share this video with my daughter. Are you taking a formal Spanish classes? We were in Valencia and Madrid 2+ years ago and you're right, not a lot of English spoken.
Hey man, I just binged your videos - hope all is well! Would be interested in more videos
Watched the whole thing. Very enjoyable. I'm glad you are pushing through.
Hey thank you my friend! Really appreciate all of your endless support
De nada. You are so much smarter and braver than I was at your age. I enjoy seeng your progress.
Good to see you back
Like a rabbit pulled from a magicians hat!
Awe look at that cute face. Leah & I loved to see your update. Glad we were always a phone call away. I adore you 💙
Hey I adore you too! Thanks for your kindness. Love you
Insanely proud of you for doing this, and all the progressions that you've made. This was such a good video, and it was great getting the overall recap man. Beyond stoked to be able to call you one of my best friends :)
My Love ❤️
You are the motivation that keeps me going. Appreciate you my friend
Hey, is your friend okay?
I love this! I can relate in so many ways and I lived abroad in a few places including valencia
That’s amazing! Valencia is a great spot to spend some time. I feel that most people living abroad experience this a bit
Just found your content, I can relate to a lot of your experiences when I lived in Lisbon, Portugal for a year on Erasmus. I'm thinking of visiting Valencia for a few days to practice my Spanish and take a few photos and found your vlogs as I was searching for content about Valencia. Really like your energy bro and you have a natural style with vlogging, keep up the content bro!
Hey thank you tons for the kind comment! I am glad to hear that this is a relatively universal experience for most people that spend time away from home. Hope you have time to make it to Valencia!!
@@comfortablylost6459 Of course man, I'll be stopping by the channel again!
Glad to hear things are working out well
Things have been very nice lately. Thank you for your kindness
Great content as always
Thank you very much! Means a ton coming from you
and oh my gosh so sorry you had to put up with all that luv that its gotten better for ya ive heard housing is tough
Nice video! I am hoping to go to Valencia in the beginning of next year to work there for a while. Your video's give a realistic view on moving abroad! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Hello! I am glad that my videos are helping you out. I am about to leave Valencia because my visa is expiring, but I really enjoyed my experience. I hope you get the chance to enjoy it as well :)
@@comfortablylost6459 I am here now almost a month and I really like it so far! Its funny to experience it now myself instead of via TH-cam. Takes a while to settle and all, pero poco a poco!
Keep going bruh ❤ love from india 🇮🇳
Thank you my friend!
Valuable insight as to how life really is
That is what I am trying to provide! Thank you for the comment
Nice
Free spirited like me.
Honestly if I saw you in Spain I’d think you’re Spanish, I’d never guess you’re American. 😅
Glad you like to love free spiritedly as well!
I have a bit of Spanish heritage so I’m sure that’s why you thought that
Looks to me like an interesting time
Sure has been! Amazing experience for sure
Great video, and great advice!
Cheers to you.
I live in Portugal, so, if you want to come and visit, feel free 🙂
Hey thanks for your kindness!
What part of Portugal are you from? I have visited a couple of times and LOVE it there
@@comfortablylost6459 Do you have a business email, so I can contact you?
Guiri is a slang word for foreign national, similar to gringo in Mexican Spanish. Gringo is not used in Spain.
If you like graffiti Street art, then visit Fanzara, a village in the province of Castellon.
If you would like to visit a roman castle, then visit Sagunto, a coastal town in the north of the province of València which can be reached by train.
Unfortunately my visa actually expired so I had to go home. However, I will write down these suggestions for the next time I visit! Thank you so much :)
I really wanna move to Valencia as soon as I finish school, my plan is
1. Save up 5 grand over a course of 2 years working.
2. Hopefully get a job within the first few months.
3. Get an apartment there on my own but to keep me company try to get an apartment that allows dogs
Great video! I'm very interested to know what major did you study in college? And which language school are you attending?
Thank you! So I actually studied business marketing in college and I studied Spanish at El Carmen Spanish school (although I just finished my courses)
@@comfortablylost6459So what are you doing now? Are you still in Valencia?
hey man, love the video. just wanted to ask you about skateboarding conditions there. moving to valencia in few weeks, deciding if i should take my Globe 26' cruiser or just buy something bigger, lets say 30' there? the question is how wobbly it can get there. I'm not really sure how to explain this in english, but I hope u get it
Hey thanks for checking out the content! I understand what you’re asking, and I’m happy that you’re skating!
Valencia is a very flat city. You will not be faced with huge hills. There is a bike lane that runs around a lot of the city. Sometimes it is smooth, other times it is bumpy due to the tile floor. I think it would be fine to start with your Globe cruiser. If it doesn’t work out you can always get a larger skate deck. Good luck!
@@comfortablylost6459 thanks for reply, now i'm definitely taking it with me :)
@@karpiz1 I would encourage it! Skating near the harbor and beach is super fun :)
It’s a good world 🤙🏼
That’s for sure my man! Thanks for the support 🤙🤙
i am planing come their for study any suggestion ?
NICE
Very nice
Extra nice!
❤️💛💛❤️👑💪🏻🥇
❤️
I live in I iza and would never ever go back to the UK.
Why did u stop making videos
Hey plz make a video on scholarship plz plz it's a humble request plz
im moving to valencia in january no spanish any advice
Hey thanks for the comment! How long will you be here for?
Without Spanish things will be more difficult, it honestly you will be fine, you can easily live without Spanish. In the meantime, just practice some basic phrases and try to get in as much listening practice as possible
@@comfortablylost6459 currently looking for around 3-6 months in Valencia. yes looking forward to all the learning
:)
Very sweet of you :)
Hey mate!
Quite the interesting experience, similar to mine here in France, but yours was much more complicated.
Mine, I suppose, was good, for the most part.
Anyway, I decided to message you here, because no other means was available, to see if you'd be potentially interested in collaborating in the future. If that interests you, let me know.
#Cheers!
Hey my friend! Hope you are having a good week. Glad to hear that you are getting setting in France.
What kind of collaboration would you want to do? Unfortunately I am actually leaving Spain very soon (because I end my studies in December) so it may be hard to meet in person
@@comfortablylost6459 Thanks for responding mate. My week's been pretty great, thanks, and I hope that it's the same for you.
Let me start off by saying that we'd do a video which benefits us both, one for you and one for me, thus, we both benefit from the situation.
I was thinking along the lines of an interview where I may get an American perspective of questions pertaining to Spain/your stay in Spain/America. It's quite wide, but what is certain is that it's cultural in nature, and I'd narrow it down based on further dialogue.
By the way, I wasn't sure if you'd be interested, so there are certain logistics which I haven't ironed out as yet.
However, since you'll be leaving Spain, that might complicate things in terms of ease of meeting up.
But if you're, in general, open to a collab (terms to be mutually agreed upon, of course), and you'll keep your channel active, then, arranging something will definitely be possible!
Let me know your thoughts.
#Cheers!
@@RomonWrites hey man, this sounds pretty cool! I’ll be 100% honest with you so as to not waste your time. I am not sure what will happen with my channel after I leave Spain. It all depends on work/ future goals. With my short timeline as well I think it would be hard to meet.
However, I like your idea and figure that maybe I can help out. Perhaps I could even film some video clips answering the questions you ask and I can send them your way to be used in a video. Or maybe we could do a video call if you are interested. My following weeks are massively busy as I wrap up my time here, it we can try to make something work
@@comfortablylost6459 Brilliant! That works, and certainly, your situation takes precedence.
Also, I appreciate the time you took to consider and respond to my offer.
If you do find the time, don't hesitate to let me know.
However, irrespective of, and whatever the outcome, te deseo mucha suerte y éxito con tus proyectos personales y profesionales.
#Cheers!
