A Sunday evening in Madrid🌆 Help me celebrate one year of Everyday Abroad!🥳 As an American who didn’t grow up with soccer (sorry, fútbol) culture, I have completely fallen in love with it. The World Cup has been so fun to watch in Madrid, with events taking place all over the city. …and I know it’s not getting better any time soon🥵 Sunset from Calle de Segovia, Madrid The idea of moving our Golden, Charlie, from the U.S. to Spain was the only thing holding us back from life abroad. But after we got to know our options, we realized it was more achievable than we thought to move our pup.
