    $1300 euros for a furnished 4 bedroom place?? Holy cow, that is a STEAL!! 😅 I live in California so that sounds like an absolute dream to me! It's fun watching this process and also very informative, thank you for sharing it with us. My husband and I are trying to figure out a way to move to Europe so this has been educational for me.

      Okay but average salary in spain is much lower too so the rent is reasonable

    • @perthfanny3017
      @perthfanny3017 5 місяців тому

      It's a steal for 2 reasons:
      - it's in Alicante which is not a major city
      - because you think of it with a US mindset. In order not to be house poor, you need to make at least $3900 a month (3 times the amount of the rent) and not many Spanish households make that amount...

    Nice apartment! In Germany you would find any EMPTY, and I mean empty apartment. That means no light fixtures and no kitchen - just the pipes and wires coming out of the wall. Germans tend to rent for life so they want to install their own kitchen and light fixtures. I lived in three apartments in three cities before building my house in Germany. There are furnished apartments but usually very small or short term. My oldest will start Uni in the fall in Munich and we expect to pay €900 for an unfurnished one room tiny studio. Two years later my second child will need an apartment as well. 😢

    The price is actually cheap for what your getting , then again I live jn San Diego and pay $1400 for a one bedroom studio with a small yard and washer dryer so for me it’s worth it I think you got an awesome deal

    • @WonderfullyAle
      @WonderfullyAle  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, for us being from the US. But in Spain it’s considered high because of the salary.

    I ALWAYS wonder how you (& Kat) adjust your liquids for carry-on travel when flying standby. It seems like you have greater allowances when working. I've heard stories about folks getting told that lipstick is a liquid (UK) or other crazy-to-me situations. I'm wondering how you deal with domestic vs international travel.
    Btw, I'm a wee bit envious of your adventure of moving to Spain. I used to think I was that person, but now I'm so comfy in my old age. 😜🤣✈️🌎👀 Love seeing the process though!!! ❤

    €1300 = US$1391.40, for a fully furnished 4-bed 2-bath place sounds like a great deal!
    One question-you’ve said you’re going to be getting rid of furniture before you go; is there a thought about putting that into an account so when you come back to the States you’d have that available in case furniture needs to be bought?

    Nice video. Sorry to hear about the mishap with the coffee mug. You said that furnished apartment was $1300 in Spain money. If you want, what is that in american money. No big deal if you don't want to say. Sounded like you had one heck of trip back to the u.s.

    Funnily, the UK 🇬🇧 is in Europe and our plugs/sockets are different to those in the rest of Europe. Greece 🇬🇷 and Spain 🇪🇸 and Italy 🇮🇹 have the same so it’s easy. Hopefully your visa comes through. It will be lovely for your children too. Also, being in Europe makes it easy and cheaper to travel to other European destinations. Castiliano Spanish is slightly different but basics are the same.

      Who’s complaining? lol. I said it high. Which it is, maybe not for Americans, but in Spain the salaries are different.
      Also it’s € is for euros. $ is for dollars. It’s not $1300 euros.

    1300 euros? You can’t get that for a furnished place like that in the states. I don’t know how I’d feel about the furniture there. Is it new or was it used by previous tenants? I’d rather have my own stuff.

    • @WonderfullyAle
      @WonderfullyAle  5 місяців тому +1

    I know you're busy with everything but I am curious about which airlines are safe to travel with, domestic & international. I'm afraid of flying, but I want to start traveling but worried about airline safety since I'm not familiar with international airlines.

    • @donnabaardsen5372
      @donnabaardsen5372 5 місяців тому +1

      She's not going to single out any airlines for obvious reasons. You need to do your own research. Also, no one airline can or will guarantee anyone's personal safety. People who travel learn how to do so over time. Experience isn't something anyone else can give you. You have to get out there and do things for yourself. If you're fearful, you're not going to be successful.

    • @WonderfullyAle
      @WonderfullyAle  5 місяців тому +1

      yeah, unfortunately, I can't tell you which airline is the safest. I can tell you though, that flying really isn't that bad, remember some of us are crazy enough to do it for a living, so it can't be that bad 😉
