Do you dream about leaving everything behind and moving to a Spanish-speaking country? 💼 If you're thinking about taking the leap, then you'll want to hear Kai Cesaire's story. Kai runs a YouTube channel called Kai's Foreign Adventures where you can find out anything you need to know about moving to and living in Spain from the experience of an African-American. 🇪🇸 ✊🏽 Kai lives in Spain and he speaks Castilian Spanish. In part 1 of our conversation he shares why he decided to move to Spain and how he was able to meet people in different regions of the country. Kai also explains how to find job opportunities and which language is in highest demand if you want to work in Spain. We also touch on the cost of living and his experience with the Spanish healthcare system after he became very ill when he first moved there, and I think you'll be surprised by what happened when he checked out of the hospital. At the end I give an update on what's going on with Kai since we originally spoke back in October 2020.
