Which City Would You Choose?
This Sunday we're releasing a brand new video: Which is Spain's Best City for Expats - Valencia, Málaga or Alicante?
These 3 were ranked the top expat cities in the 2024 InterNations Survey and we've explored them all to compare lifestyle, cost of living, transport, medical care, taxes and more.
And now we're curious to know...
If you had to pick just one, which city would you move to?

What’s your ideal monthly cost of living range (including rent) overseas?
We know everyone’s definition of “living well” abroad looks a little different and so does their budget.

Early retirees on a quest to find our forever home!
We are Dianne, Guillermo and Che from the USA along with our Mexican souvenir, Buddy. We decided to retire early and embark on a worldwide quest to find our paradise forever home! We've created our checklist with 10 essential requirements that we use to rate each city we visit. We're documenting our experiences and sharing all the invaluable insights we discover along the way.
We moved from the USA to Guadalajara, Mexico in 2018 with Che and lived there for 3 years. Buddy joined our family in 2020 and in 2021 we moved to our new home base...Lisbon, Portugal. Join us on our mission as we explore and rate amazing cities around the globe to find the perfect place that captures our hearts and makes us say, "This is home!"
