Hello Chris --

I've been following you since you were working on your goal to get to every country. You and a few others I "met" during that time kept me inspired when yet another idea I had for moving abroad didn't work out.

And finally, here I am. Reading your posts from a small town in northern Spain.

Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us over the years. I was delighted to see you back in my inbox with A Year of Mental Health.

Wow, so cool! I'm glad you made it abroad. Sometimes these things take time and persistence. :)

Ooohhhh Spain has always been a place I’ve thought about moving… What town are you in? I had looked in the south for a while actually, love Granada!

The south was too hot for year-round living for us, so we're about 20 minutes from Gijón. The Asturias region is beautiful! Mountains, beach, trees, never gets to freezing, the heat waves skip us:)

I've been wondering about summer in the northern cities. I'm in Malaga now for 6 weeks. I prefer to be a little closer to the coast... I might check out Santander, Oviedo & Gijon.

Sounds lovely! I will file this away for when that idea springs up again. 🙏
