But let's face it...the details can feel overwhelming.
Many midlife professionals considering a relocation to Spain from the US wrestle with:
Reimagining work, life, and purpose in a new context
Entering a new culture and economy often means starting from scratch, with unfamiliar cultural norms and practices.
Navigating the logistics & bureaucracy
Researching visa options and building a realistic timeline and relocation budget can quickly become overwhelming.
Building cultural fluency & finding community
Creating community and navigating everyday life in a new land can feel daunting.
Spain is calling—and you’re thinking seriously about it.
Something deeper is pulling you toward Spain—not just the lifestyle, but a meaningful change in how you live and work. You’re seeking a slower pace, a new sense of purpose, and the freedom to build a life that feels aligned with your values.
At the same time, the world is changing fast, and you’re balancing real responsibilities: a career you’ve built, family or community obligations, and commitments you can’t ignore. Moving abroad is a big step, and it takes clarity, careful planning, and expert guidance.
At Vida Nova Abroad, we provide practical advice and personalized support so you can navigate every step with confidence—turning a dream into a realistic, achievable plan
Hi, I'm Elizabeth, and I've been where you are.
In 2023, I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Barcelona. I experienced both the thrill and the uncertainty of making the transition to life abroad.
That's why I started Vida Nova Abroad—to pave a clearer path for midlife professionals emigrating from the US to Spain.
Throughout my career as a business leader, consultant, and coach, I've specialized in strategic planning, creating clarity from uncertainty, and advising and supporting individuals and teams through change.
Now I help others design the next chapter of their life in Spain—blending vision with practical planning and cultural insights.
