…And then she took a chance trip to Madrid, Spain. And that’s when she got this crazy idea that wouldn't go away: Leave everything behind and go start a new life in Madrid....at 35.
But how? What about a job..and a visa? And what would people say if she quit everything to move abroad at 35?
This is the reinvention story we get into today’s episode of the She Reinvented podcast. A tale of reinventing your life by following your heart and moving abroad.
In this episode we talk about:
➜How you can use travel to completely refresh your life.
➜How to take a leap even when it feels like a step backwards (especially over the age of 35)
➜Getting over the fear of what other people think
➜What visa options exist for women over 35 who want to move to Spain (& the little-known visa she used)
➜Invaluable tips on on how to find remote jobs & network as an expat
➜How she turned her search for community into starting a business abroad.
And so much more!
