Slow Sunday by the Mediterranean ☀️🌊 > Busy Sunday in suburbia.

This morning, we strolled the Barceloneta beachfront, grabbed café con leche, and just breathed it all in. No Costco runs, no yard work – and we don’t miss them!
One year into our life in Barcelona, it’s the simple moments, like an ocean breeze on a Sunday, that make us smile and say, “We made the right choice.”

Sometimes, less hustle = more living. 😌

We even wrote the book on it: “Silver Nomads: Why Americans Are Retiring Overseas to Live The Life of Their Dreams on Less Than $2k/Month — And How You Can, Too! It’s part personal story, part how-to guide packed with our research.

¡Feliz Día de Mu***os desde España! 💀🌼

Even though we’re in Barcelona, we love learning about other cultures. In Mexico, Nov 1–2 is Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), a beautiful celebration honoring loved ones who have passed.

The vibrant altars and sugar skulls show how colorful retirement abroad can be – there’s always something new to discover. If Mexico is on your retirement radar, check out our Mexico guide for tips on lifestyle, costs and more here

“What do you like best about living in Barcelona?”

It’s a question we get asked over and over by the tourists we meet almost daily — mostly because of Donovan! He’s quite the local celebrity and always draws a crowd. But we don’t mind; we’ve made some lovely acquaintances because of him.

The truth is, the question can’t really be answered by just the food, the art, the culture, or even the safety. It’s deeper than that. For us, it’s about the serenity this city gives us. Barcelona has a vibe — a gentle rhythm that says, slow down and enjoy life.

Do we miss things? Sometimes, it's the convenience of a Target run or a spontaneous Sunday drive. But those are minor trade-offs compared to the life we have now.

We don’t miss the food — it’s so much better here. We don’t miss wondering if a public gathering is safe — there are no guns here. And we certainly don’t miss hearing our grandson talk about shooter drills at school — that’s not a part of life here.

Barcelona gives us peace, beauty, and a sense of calm we never realized we were missing until we found it.

When we decided to move to Spain, we knew our Lion Doodle Donovan was coming along for the ride! 🐕✨ Moving abroad with a pet might sound daunting, but it’s absolutely doable with some planning. We ensured Donovan was all up to date and compliant with EU laws.💕✈️

Now in Barcelona, we’re thrilled by how pet-friendly the city is. From local dog parks to cafes that welcome pups, our dog is adapting even better than we are! He’s already learned the Spanish routine of an evening paseo (stroll) — making new furry and human friends along the way. The joy of having our beloved Donovan with us on this chapter makes our overseas adventure feel truly like home.

If you’re dreaming of expat life but hesitant about your pet, take heart: with preparation and love, your pet can become an intrepid travel buddy on your journey abroad. 🐾🌍💖

When we first chose Barcelona as our starting point in Europe, it wasn’t by chance. We spent months researching lifestyle, finances, and culture across multiple cities before making our leap. Walking the narrow streets of El Born today, surrounded by artists, food from every culture, and history thousands of years deep, I’m grateful we did the work.

For many, the idea of uprooting your life feels overwhelming — so overwhelming that you might not even begin. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to move to benefit from research. Learning about the process gives you perspective, confidence, and the ability to decide if it’s right for you.
Curious where to begin? Our guides can open the door to exciting possibilities👇️ 👇️

Fact: Medical services overseas can be both cost-effective and of excellent quality. Misconception: It's too challenging to figure out. We evaluate private and public choices, average expenses, and essential inquiries to make during your initial consultation with doctors and clinics.
We also have firsthand experience with using the medical care here in Barcelona and the associated costs (minimal compared to the US)!

We’ve been in Spain long enough to know this: adventure is in the small things —our evening walks with Donovan, stopping in at one of our favorite cafes or greeting neighbors in their language.

At the start of the video is the square where Donovan likes to pretend he is actually a Lion (statue). People are constantly stopping us to take pics of him and I’m pretty sure he’s Insta famous, “the Lion doodle” of Barcelona.🐶

Back in the U.S., laundry meant throwing it in the dryer and forgetting about it. Here? My washer holds two towels and a strong opinion about overloading. The “dryer” is more of a warm hug than a finishing act, so everything ends up on a rack for 24–48 hours.

It’s not my favorite chore (flashbacks to raising three kids and endless laundry piles), but I’ve found a silver lining: it’s the perfect excuse to go grab a drink and some great food while the clothes… well… slowly become wearable.
