Seeking another Country to call home

15 years ago
Hello all, I'm originally from Europe & grew up in America. I've been searching for a different Country to call home before I get too old. I somehow grew very unhappy in America and have momentarily relocated to the Caribbean where I don't fit in - and I now have a 'work-permit' issue here prohibiting me from legally working.

Growing up in the EU I've known that Spain is beautiful, generally kind, & likely a decent place to eventually start a family in.

Is Spain possibly one of the few countries left where it is generally easy for a foreigner to patriate to, live and work in (& without all the political red-tape hassles as the rest of the modern world now)? Is Spain one of those beatiful areas that if you're not originally from there - a foreigner will hardly fit in? (I physically appear as though I'm from Ireland). I'm just a regular God-fearing working guy whose been trying to find life's joys somewhere in the world. I may not have a ton of money to move with but I'm very ambitious, adventurist, down-to-earth & seeking similar friends. For a living I do Air Conditioning (design/build), heating, electrical, some construction, & a few other related services and I'm always willing to learn new things as required. I also love the mountains, hiking, skiing, boating, outdoor festivities, architecture, etc. Any comments from anyone is GREATLY appreciated as I really need to make other plans quickly.

I'm requesting any replies with any advice, including any other websites more suitable for this disussion.

Thank you and kind regards, (volunteer_samaritan(at)live(dot)com)

{please note (for those 'internet salesmen'): DO NOT reply with ANY kind of sales pitch for services/products} ~Thank you
