Who was going to tell us 7 years ago that our way of life would be so different?
I look back and begin to be aware of how everything has changed. The rules of life, as we knew it, are totally different and what is more important: We have known how to adapt to these changes.
Spain has become too small, our desire and enthusiasm to grow as people have led us to move to other countries. It is a reality, you know well that it is not an isolated event, Europe is full of people like you; carving out a future and living experiences far removed from the routine you had in Spain. How many family and friends do you know living abroad?
I say foreigner for saying something. Although you carry Spain always present in your heart, little by little you feel like a citizen of the WORLD. A world with a different culture, with a different way of working, relating and enjoying everyday life.
There are many things that have changed, but our way of being and our references remain intact. I believe without a doubt that this is one of the reasons why the citizens of the rest of Europe identify us; because #NosGustaLoNuestro.
Our environment has changed, but our way of being has not. We love meeting with other Spaniards, reading the online press and magazines of our country, or even buying local newspapers about Spanish, as is the case of the Iberian.
And what about our gastronomy? when you count the days until you receive that package that your mother prepared for you, or remember that today in Spain they are going to prepare that dish that you like so much. Because let’s be clear, there are many things that the rest of Europeans know how to do better than the Spanish, but when we talk about gastronomy we are at another level. Those who have not lived it do not know what we are talking about, but we do not know what we have until we live outside of Spain. The value we give to those little packages, which bring much more than food, with that affection, company and many memories of the people who love you. If you share what I say, do not resign yourself, you are a real #FoodLover.
