Summary

What does it actually take to feel like you belong in a new country? After ten months living on Spain’s Costa del Sol, this episode reflects on the difference between visiting and truly integrating. From daily rhythms to cultural expectations, I share what it means to adapt—not by forcing yourself in, but by learning how to move within a place respectfully. Because in the end, money might open doors— but humility is what keeps them open.
