Explore the hidden gems of Galicia, Spain with a road trip to A Coruña.

This off-the-beaten-path adventure is perfect for history and architecture enthusiasts!
Septic Mozzies Must Die!
After our home inspection, we discovered that the property had three septic tanks. Being new to the experience of living in an older country house, we found ourselves unfamiliar with how to maintain septic tanks. The image that flashed in our minds was the scene from "Meet the Fockers," when he flushed the toilet and it led to a sludge of feces all over their yard!
un año en españa & the lessons learned
Looking back at our life before Spain, it feels like a distant memory and it’s hard to believe moving to Galicia was a difficult decision. As we celebrate renewing our visas for another 2 years, we are so grateful for sitting in discomfort and overcoming the challenges that ultimately encouraged new growth.
Take a Ticket, Enjoy the Ride

A Big Leap of Faith
It is a big risk, a big leap of faith, and I have never felt so alive and proud to be this courageous to let go of control and just live.
