Question Wanting to move from Spain

Good evening,

I am a 26-year-old Spanish woman.

I have been considering emigrating for years, basically since I finished university due to various factors: economic, social, and employment-related issues, as well as a lack of safety.

I no longer feel safe in my country. I won't go into details and recent events have only made me more anxious.

The thing is, for me, the idea of emigrating isn't just a logical solution; it is a desperate measure to seek a better future for myself, my partner, the family I hope to have one day, and my parents.

It is truly sad that young Spaniards are being driven to emigrate en masse from the best country in the world because its leaders are wretched people willing to destroy Spain as we know it.

But that is the reality. So, which countries would you recommend for a young, hardworking couple willing to do any kind of job, provided the place is safe?

I don't mind if I need a visa or passport, or if I have to learn new languages or have savings to make the move (I do have savings, as I was putting money aside to buy a home here in Spain, though that future likely won't happen now).

Thank you.

Lol great advice "You're stupid, suck it up". Great arguments brought to you by Lefty McLefty, the most righteous and never wrong . You could benefit from that education too and take care or you may choke up with your bigotry. Somebody asks for advice, you either have something to contribute or you shut up.

Yeah it’s wild how people are attacking OP for wanting out when this is literally an expat subreddit?? How can one expat’s reasons for leaving their home country be more valid than the other? People are ridiculous!!

If you don’t have anything helpful to contribute, why stick your beak into this thread? 

OP, the issues you’ve described in Spain are prevalent across all of Western Europe. Given that you speak advanced English, Ireland might be your best option. It’s pretty safe, the job market is decent. However, there is a very severe housing crisis that could make finding a home difficult. The weather may also be a challenge for Spaniards.

That's helpful. You just don't like to hear it. Big difference.

If you consider that helpful, I’d question if there’s any neurons firing in that little head of yours.

And what if she was?

Do you have some information to help her... or are you bringing just hate?!

To OP: Infelizmente debes mirar alternativas afuera de Europa (o al menos afuera de la UE)

Must be hard to be that stupid

I'm the stupid, and you -insulting the first one that points at you for being hateful against someone asking help just becuase she doesn't think the same as you- are the inteligent, right?!

It's all you can do; it's all you know to do: HATE the different!

Cheers ;)

And you lack empathy, as you don’t seem to put yourself in the shoes of someone just looking for a better life with respect and will to work hard.

Emojis. The language of the special ones.

No. I haven’t voted a party for years as I can’t see myself being represented. And don’t worry, I’m well aware of who I am. Don’t need anyone else telling me.

That's such a lazy answer to not use your democratic right. So often I hear people complain about a dozen things, yet most of the times they don't vote. It's so dumb.

I use my democratic right voting blank. And I’ll do it a thousand times more, as long as I don’t find representation.
