I want to apply for a nomad visa in Spain next year. I have 1099 income and make pretty decent income. Currently I live in one of the most expensive cities in the us and just getting over the us. I travel to Europe at least twice a year and spent 6 weeks in France this summer so I love Europe. I know not all europe is the same but just giving some context. I am mexican American and speak fluent Spanish. My only concerns are taxes might be high, racism towards Latinos in Spain, and finding a nice rental. I am not really losing anything moving there I can always come back but moving international is just a bit scary.

    I lived in Barcelona years ago and it was such a fun period of my life that I look back upon fondly. I wish I never left.

    If I was in your shoes I’d do it and if it doesn’t work out, as least you tried it out.

        It’s such a vibrant city with so much going on. I met people through intercambios, through Couchsurfing meetup groups, through cooking classes. It was quite easy to meet people considering I moved there not knowing anyone.
