Looking to move to Europe

[Thyla]

17. it's interesting, just after posting here...

My wife received a job offer to go and work in France so the last couple of weeks we have had to consider this.
Personally I would have jumped at any opportunity to move from Spain as long as it was financially viable and not taking a big hit but this really became one of the hardest decisions we have ever made. In the end I think the fact that we have our first house here and have been building on that plus we were in the beginning of a business plan to see if that was viable these made it harder than I was foreseeing, albeit understandably.

About the only thing Spain could actually offer us that was in the positive is it is cheaper and the wage here was slightly more. Aside from that it was personal reasons only.

In the end we eventually chose France, my wife is French so that helps and the project the offer is for is one that is too good to turn down again. She was actually offered a job there when we came here so I don't think they would ask a third time.
So it looks like at the start of next year we will be settling in in the Provence region, it's going to be tougher and more emotional than I expected when we leave but that is on us and not Spain. We'll keep the house in the meantime, maybe a place for holidays but I can think of other places to visit.

Anyway, adios Spain! It's been weird.
