It's nice that you compare Madrid and New York City. But from the videos I've watched from both cities, Madrid looks like paradise and New York looks like hell. I would never dream of moving New York City, in the contrary in a heart beat I would move to Madrid having the chance, since it looks welcoming, clean, cultural and safe.
Thank You Robert. Yes Madrid is a great city, I’m very happy here. I’ll always love NYC though. A perfect world would be I could live in both in different parts of the year. Maybe in 10-15 years or so.
You LITERALLY said the key mantra that resonates with me when it comes to quality of live. “Work to live, not live to work!” I am definitely thinking about moving to Madrid now. 🙌🏽
I'm originally from Madrid and moved to New York with my husband who is from NYC. We lived in NY for 27 years and retired early 6 months ago and moved back to Madrid. We couldn't be happier and wouldn't have retired anywhere else. I also love NYC, however Madrid is much safer and in my opinion the infrastructure is more modern. I'm glad that you and your wife are happy here.
Thanks for sharing, looking at coming to Dubai and Spain in a few months, would love to connect if we are nearby, stay blessed and enjoy! Let's go! 👪👪👪👪👪👪
I was there two weeks ago and just loved it. Culture, affordability, the people. Did you find the winters difficult? My wife lived there for six months back in the 90s and found the winters cold and wet...
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the video. I didn’t find the winter of 2021-22 difficult. Although I’d lived in Mexico for several years, I still had NYC toughness in me 😆 Madrid winters certainly aren’t as cold as New York.
Great video! I would love if you made a video comparing NYC to Madrid. My Spanish husband and I are planning to move to Spain (likely Madrid) in the next few years, so hearing an American's perspective, especially as someone who used to live in NYC, would be great. Though I have visited Madrid, it seems to me that the everyday lifestyle would be similar to mine in Brooklyn with some additional perks.
WoW definitely following you my brother. I have lived in nyc for 10 years now and served in the navy for a few years prior to moving here. Hearing you as a black man myself speak so highly of Madrid is really awesome. ✊🏽✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Samuel, thank you so much for your comment and subscribing! I feel much happier for sure. I've been busy, I'll get you guys some good content very soon on life in Europe.
I loved this video!. I had missed the first part and landed on the part where you said you were not a typical couple. I was completely puzzled and wondering if you had married someone from outer space or something. Then I realized what you were talking about. I am sorry you felt you had to make that distinction. I am not quite sure how or why things work the way they do in your country but please don't think you are not a typical couple, you are two beautiful human beings, just like anyone else. So you are as typical as two human beings that love each other and decide spend part of your lifes together. And you have bonus points for marrying a chilanga ;-). Full disclosure: I am a chilango myself 🙂 Cheers!
Jeremy me encanta este video! Es muy bueno, interesante, lleno de verdad. Me conmueve. Si me lo permites me gustaría compartirlo en mi Facebook. Felicidades!
In Spain the police treat you with respect, they wont stop you just because you are black or any other race for that matter. The food is great and the night life in Spain in second to none. Enjoy Spain !!
Great comparison! We're Americans who lived in Spain for a year teaching English, but struggled to find a long-term way to live there. Now, we're living in Germany, but would absolutely LOVE to get back to Spain. What visa did you use to live in Spain if you don't mind sharing?
Thanks for the video. I live with my family in Valencia. Currently we’ve been living here for four years now and we have three kids two years old six years old and eight years old and after four years living here we feel that it’s a small city our even call it a town probably Has the seat but we don’t use it that much. Nobody does here and just this small town mentality and basically there’s nothing to do so we were thinking about moving to Madrid and I can relate to you guys so it would be awesome to hear your opinion about living in Madrid with kids from the perspective of parents, so where do you take them? How do you entertain them, just you know the overall like are you if you’re an active family like us then where do you guys go with kids and so on so forth so if you can share that they’ll be amazing thanks
Hi Todd! Thank you! I belong to Sergio Ramos by John Reid. It’s in Moncloa. Also the McFit chain is very popular. Reebok sports club in Salamanca is also popular. I don’t know much about pools unfortunately
@@JeremyWhistine thanks for the response. I actually live in nyc but wouldn't mind moving to Madrid or Barcelona. Have you ever considered Barcelona? What area of Madrid do you prefer? I actually owned a retrofitness in queens but just sold it.
I’m not sure what your complaint is, do you want more music or more voice because I can hear my voice fine, and if you want the music louder I’m sorry. I have lots of views and plenty of likes and you seem to be the only person to have a problem with the music and voice balance. Perhaps in my first video when I was getting started, that is a viable complaint but this video that you commented on was edited professionally. And if it was unwatchable, I apologize I hope you can find a video that is watchable.

Nice to hear that, also was looking at the EU for retirement living once I sell my home and my pension raises up to a nice level of income.
Felicidades por el video. Espero que tu y tu bonita familia disfrutéis de la vida en Madrid. Mis mejores deseos.
Muchas Gracias mi amigo!!!
Great video. Thanks for a great introduction to life in Madrid.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your video about our city, Jeremy. I hope you and your wife enjoy Madrid for good😊
Thank you very much!! We are very much enjoying it!!
Glad to find your channel. Spain is high on our list to move in 2024.
I hope you make it. Send me a message when you come
After the Coronavirus pandemic I would love to visit and live in Spain someday coming from the Philippines.
I’d like to visit your country someday
Thanks for sharing, looking at coming to Dubai and Spain in a few months, would love to connect if we are nearby, stay blessed and enjoy! Let's go! 👪👪👪👪👪👪
I'm going to text this video to my wife every single day until she agrees to move to Madrid.
Lol the best of luck. If you can convince her I’m sure she’ll thank you! It’s a great city!!!
@@JeremyWhistine We live in Houston. It's an emergency lol
Welcome, my guys
Greetings from Madrid 🇪🇸
Wishing you both the very best of luck!!! I ❤️ Madrid and have lived there for a number of years. The rest of Spain is also beautiful, so very varied.
Thank you. Do you live in Madrid now?

My friend sorry for the delayed response. Thank you very much for the encouraging words. You should certainly come for a visit here
Nice Video, NYC where the rent is insane to Madrid where its reasonable. Blessings 🙌
Thank you for watching!
Hey Jeremy! Welcome to Madrid! I'm also from NYC and live here part time.
Thank you!! We should meet for coffee sometime when you’re in madrid
@@JeremyWhistine Sounds good! Let's do it! I'm actually here now. Not sure how to send a msg on youtube so i'll shoot you a msg on IG
Such an insightful video, exactly what I was looking for..Thank you, your quality of life in Madrid looks beautiful
Thank you very much! I’m working on the next video!
The difference in rent between NYC and Madrid is so intense it makes me head hurt lmao
Thanks for your video Jeremy!!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it.
Great Video Jeremy!! New subscriber here. Definitely looks like a healthier way of living than Big Cities in the States.
Samuel, thank you so much for your comment and subscribing! I feel much happier for sure. I've been busy, I'll get you guys some good content very soon on life in Europe.

Bienvenidos a España. Deseo que todo os vaya muy bien. Un afectuoso saludo.
Muchas Gracias. Vives en Madrid?
Sí.

nice video, Jeremy.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great video!
Thank you 🙏🏾
beautiful couple....fenomenal el video enhorabuena a los dos
Great comparison! We're Americans who lived in Spain for a year teaching English, but struggled to find a long-term way to live there. Now, we're living in Germany, but would absolutely LOVE to get back to Spain. What visa did you use to live in Spain if you don't mind sharing?
I love to hear about biracial children in Madrid. This is beautiful.
thanks for sharing
I live in montreal and want to move to madrid . Many jobs for trilingual people . French english and spanish?
Can u guys make a video about live expenses, did u guys buy or rent ?
Yes I will work on that!! Right now we renting but we are looking to buy.
Beautiful family!
Thank you very much!!
Is it easy to find work in Madrid as a TEFL teacher?
I’d say yes, but you have to work hard in order to find a scenario in which you can earn enough to make a living wage in my opinion.
And whereabout is that great gym where you teach
Two locations in Madrid
Madrid is a near perfect city
I enjoy living here very much
@@JeremyWhistine I’ve been here for two years and love it!

Hi, what Is the name of your gym in Madrid?
How about summers with 90+ degrees but no AC? Or is there a way to get AC?
Hello. Thanks for the info. Can you recommend a few good gyms in Madrid. Also do you know of any lap pools? Thanks@@!

Another youtuber who's not able to keep the damn music volume at the same level as his voice. Just unwatchable
I’m not sure what your complaint is, do you want more music or more voice because I can hear my voice fine, and if you want the music louder I’m sorry.
