73% of Americans Leave Spain. Here's Who Actually Stays.

Thinking about moving to Spain? After my previous video about the "73% of Americans leave Spain" statistic, thousands of viewers asked where that number came from. In this video, I explain the source—and more importantly—the real patterns I've observed after helping thousands of English-speaking expats relocate to Spain. Over the past several years, I've consistently seen three different types of people emerge after moving to Spain: • The Leavers • The Stayers • The Transformers Discover the biggest reasons people struggle, what successful expats do differently, and how proper preparation dramatically increases your chances of building a happy life in Spain.
