"Hello, I am a teacher living in the U.S. and am retiring in 5 years (2027 or so.) My wife and I are interested in moving to Spain or Italy. We have visited (several times) and loved both countries, but she is bilingual in Spanish and I am... learning and improving... and neither of us is beyond beginner in Italian. Thus, Spain seems a more logical choice. Thanks & have a great day!" - Maxpower

"Hi I am 31 and moved to Madrid 6 weeks ago to work at the new Hilton. making the transition with work has been easy as I have worked with hilton for 5 years, however finding life outside of the hotel is proving to be harder. I am hoping to find my own flat next week, so then I really will be on my own. My Spanish is basic at the moment, but will be having lessons one on one from next week. I am looking for some advice on how to start building my new life in madrid. Thank you Rachel" - Rachhs
