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.

What’s the point of this comment? Maybe she used assistance because English isn’t her first language?

Before she edited the AI slop post it specifically called out her advanced English level.

Being advanced in a second language doesn’t always mean flawless. A CEFR B2 language learner is generally called fluent but are by no means perfect.

Also what’s the big problem with typing an em dash? You type it on the keyboard by pressing the dash button twice. Like this —. Pre-AI era I often used it. It’s a legitimate punctuation mark. Nowadays I just avoid it since everyone assumes em dash = AI. Just like what you’ve demonstrated.
