From the US to Spain: Our search for safety, stability & joy

Описание: Laura and Jeff, a young family from the US, left everything behind to build a new life in Valencia, Spain. Their move was motivated by concerns about political developments in the US, questions surrounding safety at schools and a growing sense that their daily lives no longer aligned with the future they wanted for their son. In this video, the family describes how life in Spain has changed their routines and expectations — from relying on public transportation instead of a car to learning a new language as adults. They also reflect on the challenges of building a life abroad, including navigating visa procedures, managing distance from aging parents and adapting to a society where they must find their place all over again.
