Everyone dreams of moving to Spain - the sunshine, the slower pace, the promise of a better life. But three years after making the leap, does it really feel like home?

In this episode, Sandra is joined by Kerry, co-founder of Nerja Coffee Roasters, who shares her honest reflections on life in Spain three and a half years in. From siestas and fiestas to running a business abroad, Kerry reveals the cultural quirks, unexpected challenges, and the joys that make it all worthwhile.

This isn’t the Instagram version of relocation. It’s the truth behind the sunshine and what it really takes to build a life on the Costa del Sol.

You’ll hear:

• How long it does it really take to feel at home in Spain
  
  
• The 3 day rule” Sandra created to manage visitors without burning out
  
  
• The cultural quirks you only discover by living here
  
  
• The reality of running a business abroad and how Kerry adapted Nerja Coffee Roasters to Spain’s way of life.
  
  
• Why Kerry’s children are now her toughest (and funniest) Spanish teachers.
  
  
• The single piece of advice Kerry says every future mover needs to hear
