I moved to Spain for a more relaxed life. I pay about $300 a month in rent and have never been happier.
Briefly

Shawna Lum, disenchanted with the American corporate grind, moved to Spain in 2016 after a life-changing study abroad experience. She founded Move Overseas Now to assist others in relocating to Europe and Latin America. Lum found Spain's affordable lifestyle, vibrant culture, and ease of travel refreshing compared to the U.S. Her move allowed her to reject the conventional American dream and embrace a new path that prioritizes happiness over material success. With immigration options increasing, she encourages others to consider a similar lifestyle change for better living.
I moved to Spain to escape the rat race and carve out my own path. I couldn't shake the memory of my time in Spain.
The typical American dream wasn't resonating with me...I asked myself, 'Why must I follow this path?'
In Spain, I'm happier; I spend less money on housing, and I started my own business helping others move overseas.
Living in Spain allows me to travel easily, enjoy a strong community, and experience a culture that prioritizes quality of life.
