My family gave up most of our belongings when we moved from the US to Spain. We're surprised by what we actually miss.
"After sleeping in a European double, I dream about our king bed. In the US, my husband and I shared a king bed and had plenty of space to spread out. King beds aren't standard in most Spanish homes, and even if we wanted one, our apartment here wouldn't accommodate its size."
"Every time we do a cycle of laundry, we hand-dry our clothes on racks inside our apartment. In theory, I love hang-drying clothes. We had a clothesline at our home in the US, and I used to get so excited to put it to use during the warmer months."
A family of four relocated from Connecticut to Las Rozas de Madrid, facing the challenge of downsizing their belongings within three months. They opted for a clean slate, intending to purchase new items upon arrival. Seven months into their new life, they found the transition worthwhile, despite missing a few items. Adjustments included adapting to a smaller European double bed and hand-drying laundry, which contrasted with their previous conveniences in the US, such as having a king bed and a dryer.
