Katie Passarello, a public relations contractor living in Cariño, Spain, shares her journey of falling in love with the country. The concept of 'sobremesa', enjoying conversations around the table well after a meal, captivated her deeply. After studying international relations and traveling, she moved to Spain to teach English through the Fulbright scholarship program. Although her initial time in Spain was disrupted by COVID-19, her experiences fueled her desire to stay in the country permanently, where she now embraces the slow-paced lifestyle and rich culture.
"Staying long after the food or drink is finished to sit around a table and share conversations is at the heart of Spanish culture."
"I was drawn to Europe because you could travel between countries, and many people were multilingual. Being from California, I spoke a bit of Spanish, so Spain seemed logical."
