Hi, I'm Laura, and six years ago, I moved to Spain. Becoming an expat has been an incredible journey of transformation for me. Starting fresh in a foreign country—where everything, from the language to the culture, felt entirely new—challenged me in ways I never expected.Navigating through the challenges of assimilation, language barriers, and moments of loneliness was tough but so fulfilling. Looking back, I realize better preparation would have made those early days smoother.My own struggles inspired me to create Expat Planet, where my primary goal is to assemble a directory of English-speaking services in Spain—think of it like a 'Yellow Pages' for expats. Whether you're looking for a hairdresser, accountant, or kindergarten, Expat Planet aims to simplify life for expats while supporting local businesses. It's a win-win situation: expats receive reliable services in their new homes, while small businesses gain exposure to a new customer base. I'm passionate about creating this positive impact, making expat life easier, and helping local enterprises thrive. This project is a true passion of mine.Moreover, knowing that 40% of expats fail on the way, I felt compelled to share what I've learned. That's why I started blogging on expatplanet.net and launched a YouTube channel. Through these platforms, I offer insights from experts and those who've been in the same boat.If you're a professional fluent in English in Spain, whether you own a business or work for one, I invite you to join our growing directory at https://expatplanet.net/new/business. Connect with a wider audience and tap into the English-speaking community.If you're an expat, I invite you to explore Expat Planet for services you need, find tips and advice on Instagram and YouTube, and read our blog at expatplanet.net.
