Agree, these articles are so tired. More and more I think so much is about perspective. I always tell people not to over romanticize living abroad, because every place will have things you don't like, inconveniences etc, and it's important to understand that. But if someone can't see past these things and remember the reasons they moved in the first place, they are bound to be unhappy, unfortunately.
Hi! I’ve used polenta to make cornbread from recipes online. You can usually find it in Carrefour or fancier supermarkets like El Corte Inglés. Tastes great to me! (I’m not from South, but my mom was…)

Exactly. Yes, there are some amazing parts, but it can also be really hard and frustrating at times.

Thank you! I’ve never tried polenta. It might be just what I need.
Dear Jen,
We are expats living in Paderne. Just east of Betanzos in Galicia. We love reading your articles and would like to offer you a money saving tip.
Have your peanut butter gang try ‘Capitán Maní’. We were skippy fans also, but have found this brand to be excellent.
Dennis and JoAnn Hamrick
Thank you so much for reading! 🫶🏻
We'll give that one a try. My daughter is quite snobbish about her peanut butter, but it's definitely worth a shot!
