  • Was personally worked from Spain for half a year last winter and in my experience it is nice, but I found it harder to mingle with the Spanish at times. Their English was not amazing and it seems they have a tight knit community, with which I mean if you are not family it’s hard to get in.

    I personally would consider Portugal more. I have a few very nice Portuguese colleagues which maybe helps because they show us around when we’re there, but in general I found it easier to connect to people there. And apart from the climate (Portugal can be very wet and a little bit cooler because of the ocean), they have all the good things Spain has (food, drink, a more laid back way of celebrating live). And they have pasteis de nata, which is a reason to live there in itself.

    Just be careful with eating francesinha during lunch.










  • Look into Aylla for good quality leather shoes (buy once, cry once) and I also enjoy my Freet shoes for when I want/need sporty shoes.

    For the Aylla shoes I would recommend investing in some shoe trees, because the leather will wrinkle without those because the shoes are so flexible.

    And for non-european: Jim Green barefoot. Bit less flexible than the Aylla’s, but amazing quality at a very reasonable price. I don’t think you can find more durable barefoot style shoes.
