Thank you for including my on your list! You've got me in some great company there.
As gen Xers, we're hardwired to recoil from anything cheesy, but you've articulated something really well; I like/expect to get paid for my labor, but writing on here rarely feels like anything resembling work.
Looks like the Barcelona cathedral has a side hustle as they hide the scaffold and workers behind the screen. We in the construction industry call that netting a gawk-block, but it is also for stopping any falling items like nails, wood, or plaster. Smart of the cathedral to allow someone to pay for advertising.
Your key differences and bullet points in this article are something I find people in FB expat groups fail to consider before they make their move. It is like the people getting gastric bypass surgery before learning how you will have to eat afterward. It is forced change without understanding, which makes for a bad experience. The more understanding of everything, and I do mean everything you can, will lead to an easier transition so you can enjoy the place or thing you decided to do to yourself. I realize you cannot learn everything-everything, but the more you do know, the less disappointment you will have when the things you were not prepared for, happen.
We are far apart in age, lifestyle, and background... I'm humbled and honored to be a part of your community. It's fun, informative, and thank you for including me on your list. Happy New Year, I hope 2024 is successful and prosperous for you and Melisse!
Same to you and Carl. I really enjoy your writing, insight and sharing of your experiences and thoughts, here and in your newsletter. I look forward to more of it.

Right on.
Happy holidays, Kevin. I hope 2024 and beyond is healthy, happy and prosperous in just the right amount!
Thank you! Happy holidays to you & yours as well!

Are you still offering the lifetime membership?
Yes, I am.
If you take the founding membership option, I convert it to a lifetime subscription, so you only pay this one time.
Done deal. You're comped for life. I appreciate it.
