Seeking knowledge of Spain and Helpful Hints

7 years ago

Howdy All,

Just found and joined your expat exchange website, thank you it seems a great resource. Now single, I am finally ready for an active retirement.

My retirement income comfortably exceeds $2 k. Yet, my D.A.R. and Scottish Abuela raised me to always live a bit below my means and to utilize proper Castillan Spanish. Grew up on the California coast and as suggested, am investigating the Spain forums, et al.

Have read elsewhere that in Andalusia there exists reasonable living arrangements and also maybe some teaching opportunities as well. Prefer living in a College community for the intellectual stimulation and more. I taught advanced English (International and multi-cultural studies with specialties in medicine, aviation, business and diplomacy to name a few). I taught in the Czeck Rebublic, Dubai, Beijing (as a Graduate Studies Professor with Peking Union Medical College and also in taught in America). This has expanded my personal and professional horizons, plus
provided wonderful opportunities for advancement.

Have found that the world of the internet and 140 character Twits, maybe takes a toll on folks grammer. My own attempts at internet brevity requires further improvements. I could also use suggestions on spell checking in Spanish as well as other languages, as Google's leaves much room for improvements.

Served in the Military (am a OPS Desert Storm wounded warrior), a former TWA Flight Manager, then an academic once TWA went bust (along with my flight benefits).

My younger years spent summers in the Basque region mostly in Iruna for the Encierro del Toros and the Feria de San Fermin. Only once was gored and sat on a Toro Bravo during the Bull Run (but not at the same time). I'm not a party animal, yet love the tapa bars.

Looking forward to the fun of exploring your forums. Thank you all in advance for your ideas, suggestions and more. Please know that your imput is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
