Ivan your coming-back-home story absolutely stroke me. It sounds just like my own! I just cannot believe that there are actually other out there who have such life experiences. (silly of me) I just moved from the US back to Russia couple of months ago and I still feel out of place. My hub and I lived 3+ years in states and had to move back due to some financial and some other hardships. I wish you and your family all the best! Wow!

I lived in Granada for just under a year until my financial situation (or lack thereof) forced me to come home to the States and live with my mom until I save up enough money to move out. After reading your light hearted and genuine thoughts on road-tripping it through España, I noticed you mentioned Valencia, which upon a weekend visit enganchó mi corazon and I've been dreaming a life there ever since. So, then I came to this page--and I felt the pang of leaving a city so magical and so lovely that you and Katie must have felt. I admire your attitude, and I wanted to thank you for this uplifting, honest, and reflective post. I hope there will be more soon--and I'll be going back to the beginning to read your amazing story :0) Un abrazo, Ana I just happened across a post of yours when I googled “road trip in Spain”.

We had a few chats over coffee in Penticton in the months leading up to your move. I contacted her after seeing your story in the paper about moving to Spain. Your writing is awesome and I wish I had known you were writing a blog while in Spain. My husband and I also dreamed about taking our family there to live. It was either that or move back to Vancouver to be close to his family, or to Ontario to be close to mine. We chose Ontario, which is where we are now. And yet, we can't get Spain off our minds. Suburbia just isn't going to cut it. :) I came across your blog while searching for Katie's email address. Came across this video today and thought of you guys. http://www.houses-for-sale-in-spain.net/ten-good-reasons-for-moving-to-spain/ I was aware via an email a while back that you guys had headed back to Penticton. I work from home, so can live anywhere, but my husband is still trying to figure out what he can do for work. (He can work in Spain because his Dad has a Brit passport, but I hear the economy is still pretty bad.)Anyway, I have this funny feeling we will all meet in Spain one day. Please ask Katie to send me an update. I can't find her email address! All the best, Tara "Creating a dream is like raising a child. You have to support it until it can support itself."

I checked your website on various occasions and was sort of disappointed there was no news from you which frightened me a bit. Good to hear you are doing well allthough a lot of things will still go through your minds.... I loved reading your story, honest and open and I think a lot of courage is needed to put it on " paper" in this way. I wish you a lot of succes which everything you will undertake in the near and far future !! big kiss to Katie and Oscar. Miriam Hi Ivan,
