Hey guys what's up so for anyone that follows my Spanish content hey y'all I don't live
in Spain anymore surprise I moved back to the US about a few months ago I live
in Nebraska now there are a lot of things I miss about living in Spain
Madrid specifically I already know what's gonna miss a lot of things but I
just wanted to share some things with you guys so if you are coming to Madrid
you can just look forward to them and if you're leaving for Madrid you cannot
feel the pain with me of things I just really miss about living in Spain so
let's just get into it let's go
okay my first thing I really miss about living in Spain is the transportation
and being in a city that's just so walkable in Nebraska we don't have
really any public transportation there trying to make things happen where we
have a train system well I guess it's like a train somewhere to get like long
distances but I mean like intercity they don't have any type of anything they
have buses but they're not ya know you have to have a car living in Madrid was
the first big city ever lived in so I just really appreciated being able to
walk everywhere and I felt like even if I didn't exercise I was moving around so
much it's just so good for you and your outside and I just felt a lot more
connected to people and to the environment as well because you're
actually outside on a daily basis and you can breathe in the air and you're
like dig this is a city with a lot of pollution but I really enjoyed it it was
just so nice you just walk out of your house you walk on the train don't worry
about parking or getting in car accidents or insurance or gas it's just
it's just driving I don't know what started smells so much but it does it
just really does the funniest things happen to in the subway station in
Madrid just like the funniest thing but I just kind of missed that I really do
okay the second thing I miss about Spain in general but Richard specifically is
the architecture so fans a lot older country the United States so the
architecture is a lot older especially where I live everything kind of looks
kind of similar especially the houses and stuff or in Madrid architecture is
many buildings don't look that similar they have the same European vibe but
it's just so beautiful in my opinion I just something I should just stare at it
all day long is the architecture there but I remember walking out like every
stream like wow oh my god it's so beautiful
and then my ex bees like you walk by this street every day it's the same
street I'm like I know it's still so beautiful the third thing I miss about
Spain is kind of the food believe it or not when I first anticipated not gonna
lie did not like the food it was really bland but I do really
appreciate now how simple their food is and how light it is and how they just
cook with simple ingredients like just olive oil and just good olive oil oh my
god I'm gonna tell you guys something I did not know what olive oil tasted like
for real for real and time to space the olive oil that they sell over here it's
not olive oil it's not even close like oh wow this some things like all is so
good I missed that I miss it I miss not so
much like just getting some olive oil in some bread and just dipping it in and
being very satisfied I just yeah I miss that
number four is free and cheap health care so just yesterday I had such an eye
issue my eye guys was just messed up and I don't got health insurance at the
moment so I'm just like I can't go to the doctor because I would have to pay
literally probably like two thousand dollars to go so I was like okay I'm
just gonna stick my head in a bowl of water and hope and pray it comes out and
don't cut my eye off and go blind or something yeah I'm working on that but
in Spain you know that's something free that you get when you are working there
as an XL you are they come ourselves yeah and check out this video if you
don't know what that is or if you're interested in working in Spain but it's
all free guys it's all free if you need to get a prescription obviously you pay
for that but the visit itself anything like that is free so if you cut your eye
open you can go to the doctor and you don't have to decide eh mmm going blind
or paying $2,000 which one so you don't have that like in Spain so that's nice
the fifth thing I really miss about living in Spain is the culture of making
time to live your life and working to live not living to work and I just
missed the culture of after work people go with the friends and just have a
drink maybe just one and it's maybe just 45 minutes so people make the time to do
things like that where come back to the u.s. it's like nobody
time until the weekend so everyone is like trying to shove everything in the
weekend you don't see your friends all week and it's just I just it's different
it's different and it's not better or worse but I just really miss that about
Spain I miss going out honestly every day and just being social and keeping up
with relationships and it's just something that I feel like coming back
to Nebraska it's like pulling teeth trying to get people to come out and do
something with me on a weekday so it's like it's I have to work in the morning
and I'm like okay it's just an hour oh my god gasps oh it's not that much so
it's just different another thing to go off of that is right now at 24 for me
the most important thing is to travel so I work to travel I save money and I do
other things but in general every coin I'll make I pretty much am already
sitting outside for trips always like always round the clock I don't mind
having a smaller space to live in I don't mind having less food to eat every
month I make sure all my coins go to traveling so I think I'm working to live
my life and I feel like a lot of the culture in the u.s. is to live to work
and people live to work and get a better job and always move up in their job they
never really like enjoy life and they're always saving money it's good to save
money don't get me wrong it's very good to save money but I think people don't
live their life as much as in Spain where everyone's literally just living
their life so great okay the sixth thing I miss about living
in Spain is the events events even then obviously if you live in a big city this
is not gonna be something you're gonna miss but there's just always things to
do it doesn't matter if it's a Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Sunday any
day of the week there's something to do in Madrid Spain and I just really miss
that in Nebraska we have things to do like Omaha is a pretty big city there
are things to do but any day of the week like that is not like here at all like
there's events but it's not every day of the week you can just go out and find
stuff to do number seven this is like a huge one for me in it and one thing I
really miss is being able to make friends a lot easier so as an adult I
didn't realize how hard it is to make friends
if they're not your co-workers and you're not in school where you're around
classmates it's just really hard whereas in Spain I could go up to
anybody it doesn't matter and I could just be like well I'll keep that sweet
cat so in the Nebraska came here to commit in that sauce theanine in
moderate and they would just be like oh my god let's be friends
yeah I don't know and I felt if you go up to somebody in the u.s. and you don't
know them they're just like are you okay like are you gonna drugs are you talking
to me and this plague has happened to me and I'm like okay I cannot just go up to
people and just be like hey what's up of cat talk to me yeah people think you're
weird so yeah it's just different than I miss it number eight this may sound
really stupid but I kind of just miss being that foreign black girl in Spain
when you're a foreigner like that live in a different country you're kind of
become an ambassador not just yourself but the entire country an entire race in
my case if you've ever met a foreign person here let's just say somebody from
Pakistan and everything you judge off of Pakistan is usually from that person
right you're like oh my god Pakistanis are so great you know I met this
Pakistan guy so funny da-da-dah so you kind of become this
representation of your whole race in your whole country and I always took the
opportunity as an opportunity of Education when people have questions
about blacks in the u.s. in my hair and just things in things people ask you was
like really kind of scary but like oh do you have a gun no I don't have a gun but
to use the opportunity as a learning lesson for people I really liked whereas
in the u.s. people aren't gonna ask you things like that and people just assume
when there's stereotypes and I think in when you are foreigner people a lot more
open to just kind of ask you about your life and your culture and find out the
real you so that's cool number nine is I miss cheap travel and living so close to
so many different countries so Spain as you know is the western side of
Europe it's the closest well a bit of Portugal it's the closest that you're
gonna get to the US stop far of the world and then you're close to Africa
and then you're close to all of the other European countries so it's just a
really great place to travel from it's just really cheap and I've said this
many times in other videos I went to Morocco for $40 round-trip 40 euros
round-trip and that's just me you're never gonna find the US everything is
just it's not expensive like I went to Arizona for like 200 bucks round trip
but and that was really cheap but in general like in Europe I didn't spend
more than $100 on any flight ever like ever in the whole four years I was there
never spent more than a hundred dollars that was actually like the goal of mine
I just missed that obviously it's it's it's just you can go a lot more places
for a lot cheaper and your money is spread out a lot farther then spending
$500 every trip in the United States number-pad my last thing mine it's about
me there's actually a lot of things I miss about Spain wasn't a tenth one I
can think of is I miss speaking Spanish I miss it so much

a foreign country or just traveling abroad and we can share some tears
