I moved from Türkiye first to America, then to Spain. Today I live near Barcelona with my family and film life in Spain not through a tourist's eyes, but as someone who runs a business here and sends a child to school. On this page I've grouped those videos by topic.
The questions people considering a move to Spain ask most are clear: residence permits and the digital nomad visa, renting a home, schools, everyday costs, bureaucracy and building a social circle. I've answered them in videos, from my own experience and with my guests. Since legal and financial matters vary from person to person, the videos are no substitute for professional advice; always consult an expert before making a decision.
