We LEFT America and moved to SPAIN. My friend, Will, moved to Spain with his wife and I packed three suitcases, left all that I knew and moved here alone. We randomly decided to extend one of our usual coffee rides to make a pitstop and talk with you guys to share some of our thoughts. Here’s the problem, after being here for a combined 5 years, there’s SO much that we can dive into. What do you want to know about life here in Spain? Let us know in the comments and we’re happy to make another one of these for you.

A little about myself:
New to my channel? I’m an average recreational cyclist that recently moved from America to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The Vuelta España and The Tour of Catalunya will all be held here in Spain!
Sometimes I race and when I do, I share my training with you along the way. So far, I’ve done crit racing, road racing and gravel racing. I haven’t done a duathlon or a triathlon yet, but it is something I am thinking about!
So far in Spain, I’ve seen DSM cycling, SD Worx, Team Jayco Alula, Ineos, Arkea cycling, UAE team emirates and more all training here. Did you know there’s also a GCN studio here?

What do you want to know about Spain? What do you want to see? 🤔Let us know.
what is it like to be black in spain? hopefully it's not as racist as America.
Both the fellas in action! Super relevant right now with recent events lol.
Nice filming work and perspectives 👊🏼
Nice video.
If one were to consider moving to Spain, what adjustments would they need to know for healthcare? Is it hard to get in to see a doc? Should one be expecting to buy private insurance or is there a national healthcare? If you crash (hopefully this will never happen) while riding, what type of response/care would you get? How about employment, easy for a foreigner or harder? Or should one be financially set to move there? What type of racism do you experience there? Have you come across any personally? What about interacting with law enforcement, good, bad, same as U.S.? Is there much government scrutiny of you being there, both nationally and locally? So many questions one could think of and I'm sure were on your mind when you moved there.
The biggest thing that I'm curious about is whether you're there on the remote worker visa, or non-lucrative visa.
Great video, nice editing. I like the background music with the visuals.
Good times as usual. Gonna need to dive into more of this next time we go for a coffee ride !
Facts on top of facts… definitely was a mind break from food to language…. Forgetting your US styled breakfast isn’t how everyone does it and expecting everyone to speak English… lol… yeah, nope… lol… love to see more of this…. 🙌🏽🍻
